Hard Legon Preview

Hard Legion is ranked 30th in the world and the team has been constantly improving its rankings. The team burst on to the scene by famously taking down Natus Vincere in the ESL One Road to Rio: CIS. The team has an excellent understanding of every players’ plastyle and they often adjust their positioning and movement accordingly. This synergy comes from years of practice and thorough rigorous practice sessions.

With a 1.12 rating, Krad is the best player on the team. However, his performance is possibly only due to the system that the team has in place. Hard Legion’s players have exceptional talent and can take on the best players in 1v1 servers. But their team play is what defines their playstyle. Mirage, Overpass and Train are the best maps for the team.

Cyber Legacy Preview

Cyber Legacy comprises a Russian CS:GO roster with the former Natus Vincere In Game Leader, Seized on the team. The team is relatively inexperienced and while Seized can fill the gap in experience, they also lack the firepower to break into the top fifty ranks. Cyber Legacy is a relatively new team and has had inconsistent results recently. The team won its match against SINNERS and 1WIN but has also lost matches to AGF, HellRaisers and Pompa.

With a relatively smaller map pool, Cyber Legacy has to make up in its matches with risky and innovative plays. This playstyle works to an extent but the team cannot always rely on such plays to ensure a strong performance and consistent results.With a 1.18 rating, Glowing is the best player on the team. He has a high skill ceiling, but the team often fall s short despite his performances.

Pick: Under 2.5 Maps (-170 @ Pinnacle)

Hard Legion will have a very easy time in this match and should crush Cyber Legacy 2-0. Cyber Legacy has talented individuals but they do not stand up to the polish and the experience on the Hard Legion roster.
