Heroic vs. AGF, Preview & Prediction - Free 10/28 CS:GO
Heroic is an absolute favorite in this Best of 3 encounter when they take on AGF in the Group A elimination match at the Elisa Invitational 2 on Wednesday. Another loss at this tournament is out of the question for one of the best teams in the CS:GO tour and the victory for Heroic is widely expected.
Heroic Team Stats and Latest Results
After magnificent displays at the DreamHack Open Fall 2020 and six consecutive wins, including the one over Vitality in the Grand final that won them a trophy and $33,000 along with IEM Global Challenge 2020 ticket+ 2500 RMR Points, Heroic climbed up to the No. 1 spot in the rankings. Now they have to justify the role of a big favorite after surprisingly losing the opening match of the tournament to Apeks. Heroic won ten of the previous 17 matches.
When it comes to the maps in the last three months, Heroic was excellent on Nuke (84.2% win rate), while they have been good on Train (63.6%) and Overpass (60.0%). On the other hand, they failed to win in the only appearance on Dust2 and were average on Inferno and Vertigo. Heroic is playing with the current lineup since August this year and appeared on 91 maps with a record of 55 wins and 36 losses. The team members are cadiaN (1.11 rating), b0RUP (0.96), niko (1.08), stavn (1.15), and TeSeS (1.11).
AGF Team Stats and Latest Results
AGF was in fine form recently but then they lost the previous two matches, including the one at the Elisa Invitational 2 to their compatriot's MAD LIONS, while they also lost to Espada at the LOOT.BET Season 8. The Danes will have a mountain to climb against the current best team in the world, and nobody expects them to win. AGF won eight of the last 13 games.
In the past three months, AGF was decent on Inferno (70.0%), Train (64.3%), and Nuke (63.6%), while they didn’t get a victory on Vertigo (played twice) and Overpass (played five times). AGF also assembled its squad in August 2020 and appeared on 65 maps with a record of 35 wins and 30 losses. The lineup consists of netrick (0.86), Lukki (1.04), Kristou (1.06), fr0slev (1.14), and TMB (1.15).

Heroic vs. AGF Betting Preview
Even though Heroic is an absolute favorite in this one, betting on them to win the game is out of the question because of very low odds. Backing them to cover the handicap, on the other side, is quite attractive, not only because of the odds but also because of the fact that there is no way the top team in the world will afford to lose and suffer elimination out of this tournament. I am backing Heroic to put a weak display against Apeks behind and respond with force against AGF and secure an easy 2-0 victory.
