Chaos vs. Triumph, Preview & Prediction - Free 9/15 CS:GO Betting Picks

Chaos and Triumph will face each other in the Group stage Best of 3 at the ESL Pro League Season 12 North America (Online) tournament. After three rounds played, Chaos has three points (2 victories and 1 defeat); Triumph has zero points (3 losses). Chaos still has a chance to fight for the playoffs, while Triumph can only play for the honor. These two teams met only once at the DreamHack Open Summer 2020 NA tournament, and Chaos won convincingly 16-2 on Nuke and 16-6 on Mirage.

Chaos plays in hot and cold form lately; they won four of their last eight matches and has a win rate of 74.4% in the past three months. The Mexican player Edgar “MarKE” Maldonado signed a contract and joined the roster in early September. In previous months, they have a positive score on all maps; first, they choose Nuke, and their first ban is Vertigo. On Train (91.7%) they have ten wins in a row.

Triumph started badly at this tournament, but in the meantime, they played two matches at the Mythic League FPL Cup 1 and won first place and $3,000 in cash. Before that, they had seven defeats in a row and a win rate of 51.9% in the past three months. Ryan “ryann” Welsh joined the team before the start of this tournament and played less than five matches with the core. On Mirage, Dust2, Vertigo, and Train, the score of victories and defeats is 50.0%; on Inferno and Overpass is 28.6%; they have not won on Nuke yet.

Pick: Match handicap -1.5 Chaos (-109 @PINNACLE)

Chaos is better-ranked (#25 vs. #74) and bookmaker favorite. “MarKE” has played less than five matches with the squad, but that won’t be a problem against Triumph who is in a similar situation with “ryann.” Triumph lost the chance to reach the playoffs, and I expect a convincing victory for Chaos.
