Illuminar vs. Wisla Krakow Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/6

Iluminar Gaming and Wisla Krakow will face each other in the Swiss round stage 1 of the Nine to Five #1 CS:GO tournament. The Nine to Five #1 CS:GO tournament features twenty-eight European CS:GO teams competing for a $50,000 prize pool. The prize pool distribution is top heavy, with the first-place team receiving $35,000, while the second-placed team will get the remaining amount of $15,000. The top eight teams from the Swiss stage move forward to the playoffs.

The 60th ranked Illuminar has a Polish CS:GO squad and is probably one of the best Polish CS:GO teams of 2020. The team has Snax, innocent and reatz on its roster. With the veterans on the squad, this team does not lack any amounts of firepower or experience. However, the lack of synergy on the squad is a big problem as it has hampered the team’s attempts to improve its rankings and performance.

Ranked 72nd Wisla Krakow has been very active in the past few months. The Polish squad is most comfortable on Nuke and Train. However, the team has below 50% win-rate on these maps.

Pick: Illuminar ML (-240 @ Bovada)

Despite being Polish rosters, the two teams have not played each other in the last three months. Illuminar has had better performances and impressive results during this time, making them a frontrunner to take this series. I am taking Illuminar to win against their local counterparts and get one step closer to the tournament playoffs.
