Isurus vs. RED Canids, Preview & Prediction - Free 10/12 CS:GO

Isurus is a slight favorite in this Best of 3 encounter when they take on RED Canids in the 3rd place battle at the Tribo to Major 2020. Both teams had no chance against BOOM and Sharks in the semi-finals but now will fight for more prize money and RMR Points, not only for prestige.

Isurus Team Stats and Latest Results

Isurus didn’t play well at the ESL Pro League Season 12 South America, where they suffered a couple of defeats to Sharks and Havan Liberty, but responded with three consecutive wins at this tournament. However, that positive run stopped in the semifinals as Sharks secured a 2-1 victory, so Isurus will be looking to get to the 3rd place on Monday. Isurus won seven of the previous 14 matches.

When it comes to the maps in the last three months, Isurus displayed fine performances on Mirage (75.0%) and Overpass (75.0%), while they failed to get a win on Train (played three times) and Nuke (played six times).

RED Canids Team Stats and Latest Results

RED Canids are in a disappointing run of results as they lost the previous four matches, including one to Isurus along the way. Prior to that negative streak, they were on a five-game winning stretch, so it’s clear they are playing in hot and cold form recently. RED Canids won ten of the last 16 games.

During the past three maps, RED Canids were very strong on Nuke (87.5%) and were above average on Train (60.0%), while they failed to impress on vertigo (20.0%) and Dust2 (25.0%). Even though RED Canids are playing with the current lineup since July this year, they appeared on only 29 maps with a record of 16 wins and 13 losses. The lineup consists of DeStiNy (1.04), KHTEX (0.96), nython (1.14), latto (1.08), and heat (1.02).

Isurus vs. RED Canids H2H Record

Isurus vs. RED Canids Betting Preview

Although I am leaning toward Isurus in this game, especially because of RED Canids’ poor form of late, I am going to avoid betting on the winner. I am going with Over 2.5 maps because three of the last four Best of 3 H2H encounters produced a maximum of three maps, including the one they played at this tournament.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+108 @GG.BET)
