HellRaisers Preview

HellRaisers’ CS:GO roster is ranked 53rd in the HLTV rankings. The team’s performance in recent matches has been inconsistent. While they have easily won over teams like ALTERNATE aTTaX and Unicorns of Love, the team failed to secure the win against Syman, FATE and Singularity.

HellRaisers has a deep map pool as the team is comfortable on six of the seven maps in the pool. The only map where the team has had trouble is Overpass. The team is extremely comfortable on Train and has played the map twenty one times in the last few months. However, the team is equally comfortable on Inferno, especially on the CT side of the map.

With a 1.07 rating, jR is a veteran and experienced player on the team. His gains an advantage over his opponents with excellent positioning and top-tier movement. However, it is the young blood in Flarich who has reinvented the team’s firepower in recent months. Flarich is a young player whose excellent aim gives HellRaisers a huge advantage. He has been one of the critical reasons for HellRaisers improving in rankings in the recent months.

Nexus Preview

The Romanian roster of Nexus is ranked 139th in the HLTV rankings. There is not much information about this team. A part of the team’s playstyle is their aggressive pushes and disregard for normal playstyle. Coming up against an established squad like Hellraisers, this aggression could be the X-factor for the team as it looks to surprise their opponents.

However, Nexus does not have the same level of firepower as HellRaisers. Flarich has been one of the best and most-skilled players in the server and will have an open field against Nexus. His performance could be the deciding factor in whether Nexus can take a map off HellRaisers.

Pick: HellRaisers ML (-169 @ Bovada)

HellRaisers has not been in the best form, but the team has a significantly higher firepower and map pool. I am going with HellRaisers to win this match.
