Imperial vs. Sharks, Preview & Prediction - Free 10/3 CS:GO
Imperial is one of two teams without a victory at the Tribo to Major 2020 and is looking to get the first one against Sharks, who are one of two unbeaten sides thus far. It’s going to be hard to beat the Sharks in this Best of 3 duel, especially considering the recent form of both rivals.
Imperial Team Stats and Latest Results
Imperial are in a disastrous form of four consecutive defeats and they lost all three matches at the Tribo to Major 2020, winning only one map in the process. They have a mountain to climb to reach the playoffs, and only a win on Saturday would keep them alive in that race, but that win is highly unlikely. Imperial lost eight of the previous 11 matches.
When it comes to the maps in the last three months, Imperial was average just on Inferno (50.0% win rate), while they have been disappointing on Dust2 (20.0%) and winless on Overpass and Mirage. Imperial is playing with the current lineup since August 2020 and didn’t play a lot of games until this tournament. They appeared on 19 maps and have a record of seven wins and 12 losses. The team members are fnx (0.93 rating), zqkS (1.03), LUCAS1 (0.93), SHOOWTiME (1.00), and delboNi (0.94).
Sharks Team Stats and Latest Results
Sharks are one of the best South American sides at the moment, and alongside BOOM, the only undefeated team at the Tribo to Major 2020 after the opening three rounds. They did lose two maps in those three victories, but at the end of the day, they recorded all three wins and that is what counts. Sharks won 13 of the last 16 games.
In the past three months, Sharks are invincible on Nuke and Train and displayed strong performances on Dust2 (80.0%) and Mirage (80.0%). On the other hand, they didn’t get a victory on Vertigo and showed weak displays on Inferno (28.6%). Just like Imperial, Sharks also plays with the same lineup since August 202, but they do have a better record after winning 19 wins on 28 maps. The lineup consists of exit (1.21), leo_druNky (1.09), jnt (1.06), Luken (1.18), and supLex (0.97).
Imperial vs. Sharks H2H Record
These rivals have met only once before, and perhaps surprisingly, Imperial won that clash 2-1 at the Americas Minor South America Closed Qualifier in March this year.
Imperial vs. Sharks Betting Preview
Although Imperial won the only H2H encounter, I am going with the Sharks in this one because they are in a way better form, which they proved at this tournament. Sharks are going to maintain the perfect start here, and I see them as the finalists along with BOOM. Feel free to bet on the favorites.
