Sharks vs. BOOM, Preview & Prediction - Free 10/4 CS:GO

BOOM is a firm favorite to secure the first place in the group stage of the Tribo to Major 2020 with a win over Sharks on Sunday. However, Sharks will be looking for their chance and the fact that the H2H record is in their favor will give them a needed boost in this Best of 3 encounter.

BOOM got its revenge for a loss to Sharks at the ESL Pro League Season 12 South America and secured a well-deserved victory in the Grand final to win the first place and 12,500. They also are dominating at this tournament and lost just one map in four wins so far, and that’s why they are firm favorites to defeat Sharks on Sunday. BOOM won 13 of the last 15 games.

Sharks vs. BOOM Betting Preview

There is a big rivalry between these two teams, especially after the most recent ESL Pro League Season 12 South America, where they met two times. Given these two are the only teams with perfect records so far at this tournament, it would be risky to bet on the winner. For that reason, I am going with Over 2.5 maps.
