Illuminar vs. SG.pro Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/29

Illuminar vs SG.pro will face each other in the Nine to Five #2 Round 3 Low matches. The Nine to Five #2 CS:GO tournament has some of the best Tier-2 European CS:GO teams competing for a $50,000 prize pool. The Stage 2 teams are playing a Swiss format with the top eight teams moving to the playoffs. The first-placed team will receive $35,000 while the runners-up will take the rest of the prize pool.

The 48th ranked Illuminar has had a very slow start to the Nine to Five #2 tournament. Losing both of its opening matches in this phase of the tournament, Illuminar is now facing elimination against SG.pro. Snax is the best player on the team with a 1.10 rating. While he has been stepping up to the occasion of late, the rest of the squad has been underperforming and Illuminar’s results have reflected this slump. Nuke, Train and Vertigo are the best maps for the team.

The 74th ranked SG.pro has been on a losing streak, having lost all of its last five games. Nuke and Inferno are its weakest maps and the Russian squad has been struggling to find form on the rest of the map pool as well. With a 1.16 rating, fame is the best player on the roster. However, most of his results have come against relatively weaker opponents.

Pick: Illuminar Handicap -1.5 Maps (-116 @ Pinnacle)

I am taking Illuminar to dominate SG.pro in this match. While both teams are facing elimination, Illuminar has gone up against stronger opponents like CR4ZY and Tikitakan. Snax will dominate the relatively inexperienced SG.pro roster and try to survive in this tournament.
