FURIA and Yeah will face each other in the DreamHack Open Summer 2020 North America. The online CS:GO tournament has eight teams competing for a $90,000 prize pool. The first-placed team wins $35,000 and 100 ESL Pro Tour points. The group stage has a double-elimination GSL format while the playoffs are single-elimination best-of-three matches.

FURIA Preview

FURIA is one of the top North American CS:GO teams and has consistently defeated the best teams in the world. The Brazilian roster has an experienced lineup with players like HEN1, KSCERATO and arT. With over 50% entry frags, arT is a steady mix of talent and timing. This makes him a unique pick in the game and he has great synergy with the rest of the squad.

With a 1.19 rating, yuurih has been the top performer in the squad. However, he is not even the biggest name on the squad which includes players like KSCERATO, arT and VINI. The players have bene together for a very long time and the team exudes synergy and coordination.

Vertigo, Inferno and Overpass are the best maps for the team. However, they are capable of winning against opponents on most of the other maps.

Yeah Preview

Yeah was recently involved in a controversy due to its ownership issues. The team is owned by several MiBR players and has an agreement with MiBR parent company, Immortals Gaming Club.

Yeah has been on a losing stream and the team has lost four of its last five matches. The only win was against Swedish Canadians, a team that should not stand a chance against Yeah.

Yeah is strong on Dust2 and Inferno. Inferno is the most played map for the team. Yeah has played Inferno nearly fifteen teams in the last three months and has a 53% win-rate. With a 1.21 rating, dumau is the best player on the squad.

Pick: Map 1 Total Rounds Under 26.5 (-217 @ Pinnacle)

I am taking the first map to be complete under 26.5 rounds. FURIA has a massive lead in firepower and rank over their Brazilian counterparts. Yeah has been in poor form recently and stands no chance against FURIA in this tournament.
