HONORIS vs. Tikitakan Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 8/2

HONORIS and Tikitakan will face each other in the Eden Arena: Malta Vibes Week 5. The weekly tournament has a $40,000 prize pool per week and the top teams receive a prize money of $25,000 (for first place) and $15,000 (for the runner-up). Week 5 is now in its playoffs stage where teams compete in a single-elimination best-of-three format.

HONORIS is ranked 73rd in the world and has a Polish CS:GO roster. The team has big names like TaZ and NEO; however, is still struggling to provide consistent results. The experience on this team notwithstanding, the players lack the synergy and in some cases the skill to take on better opponents. The tem is comfortable on almost the entire map pool (with the exception of Overpass).

Tikitakan is an unranked CS:GO team that has a mixed International squad. The team has put up some really big upsets recently with wins over Syman Gaming and Hard Legion. The reason for the team’s overwhelmingly positive performance is a mixture of surprise tactics and deeper understanding of the opponents’ playstyle. Tikitakan still has long way to go before climbing up in the rank ladder, but it is not a walkover.

Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+118 @ Pinnacle)

Both teams have put up some good results lately. HONORIS has a lot of experience while Tikitakan has the momentum coming into this match. I am taking this series to go over 2.5 maps.
