Nexus vs. For The Win Esports Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/8

Nexus and For The Win Esports face each other in the group stage of the Betano Masters Europe Season 1 tournament. The online CS:GO event has a €15,000 prize pool. The twelve teams are divided into four groups of three teams each. The tournament uses a round-robin format and the top two teams from each group advance to the playoffs. The group stage features best-of-one matches while the playoffs are single-elimination best-of-three matches.

The 82nd ranked Nexus recently lost 1-2 to Wisla Krakow. The team features a Romanian CS:GO roster and has had a sharp uptick in its CS:GO rankings. The team is most comfortable on Dust 2 and Mirage. However, their win-rate on maps like Nuke and Inferno is abysmal, putting them at a severe disadvantage against their opponents.

For The Win Esports has a Portuguese CS:GO roster. The team made multiple roster changes in March 2020 and the stability of the squad is already showing results. For The Win added RIZZ to improve the team’s firepower and so far, they have improved in their recent results. For The Win received an invite to the Betano Masters Europe Season 1 and will have to prove its worth against top tier teams.

Pick: Nexus Spread -4.5 Rounds (-128 @ Pinnacle)

I am taking Nexus to win this match against For The Win. Nexus has a stable CS:GO roster and has produced better results against stronger teams.
