Syman vs. Excellency Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/28

Syman and Excellency will face each other in the Nine to Five #2 Round 2 High matches. The Nine to Five #2 CS:GO tournament has some of the best Tier 2 European CS:GO teams competing for a $50,000 prize pool. The Stage 2 teams are playing a Swiss format with the top eight teams moving to the playoffs. The first-placed team will receive $35,000 while the runners-up will take the rest of the prize pool.

The 37th ranked Syman features a CIS CS:GO roster, including former Major winner, Mou. The team has a strong presence on Overpass and Mirage, where the players are most comfortable on the CT side. With multi-frag trades and strong angles, Syman is able to use its positioning to supplement the high skill ceiling on its players.

Excellency is ranked 118th and features a majority Serbian CS:GO roster. The team has been on a winning streak lately with victories over opponents like Selectah, Lilmix and Orgles5. Excellency is strongest on Train and Nuke, although it does not have a dominant presence on either map.

Pick: Syman Handicap -1.5 Maps (-135 @ Bovada)

I am taking Syman to win this match as the team has a higher rank and is in significantly better form compared to Excellency. With a deeper map pool and better movement across the map, Syman comes into this match with a massive advantage.
