Lilmix vs. KOVA Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 8/10
Lilmix and KOVA will face each other in the Nine to Five #3 tournament. The Nine to Five #3 CS:GO tournament has twenty-eight teams competing for a $50,000 prize pool. The groups stage of the event has sixteen teams in four groups. The teams play in a GSL format. The top two teams from each group advance to the playoffs.
Lilmix is ranked 108th in the world and will be playing this match with a substitute. The team has had relatively inconsistent results recently with wins and losses scattered throughout their history. Lilmix will be using Peppzor instead of Svedjehed. Peppzor has usually faced off against lower-ranked opponents but has been extremely dominant in these matches. The young player has a 1.32 rating in recent weeks, which is a stellar performance regardless of the opponent.
KOVA has a Finnish CS:GO roster that is rapidly rising through the ranks. The team is ranked 86th in the world, but has a relatively deep map pool. Nuke, Overpass and Vertigo are the best maps for the team. However, the Finnish players are also looking to improve their performance on the rest of the map pool.
Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+107 @ Pinnacle)
Lilmix using a stand-in is always a bigger variable in this match. The team has struggled in its latest matches and unless Peppzor puts forth an extremely strong performance, it is going to be a difficult match for Lilmix. Meanwhile, HAVU has won many of its latest matches, including over HAVU. I am taking this series to go the distance of over 2.5 maps.
