Team Secret Preview

Team Secret topped the group stage after a 13-3 scoreline. The team had a +83 round difference and only lost matches to teams like ECLOT and Nexus. Anarkez is the best player on the team and has a 1.09 rating. The team’s performance has improved significantly over the past few months, however, the team still has lots of areas to improve.

Team Secret’s map pool gives them a huge advantage in the map veto phase. Secret’s players are very comfortable on Mirage, Train and Dust2. With an 83% win-rate on Mirage, Secret prefers to choose this map whenever possible. However, most of Team Secret’s matches have been against lower-tier opponents. Playing against a strong opponent like Team Tricked, Secret’s players will have their hands full. Secret has been on a winning streak having lost four of their last five matches. Their victories include matches against AGO, Tikitakan, LDLC and sAw.

Tricked Preview

Tricked has a Danish CS:GO roster but comprises relatively unknown players. The team has a 100% win-rate on Overpass and a 60% win-rate on Inferno. Pushing the boundaries on its aggression on the CT side, Tricked is always ahead of the curve. Their calculated approach and aggression is often a big reason for the team’s success.

However, Tricked still has a long way to go to catch up to Team Secret. At the 80th rank, Tricked’s performance could use significant improvement on its T side as well as in their map pool. The team has a very limited map pool and this limits the team’s chances in this match.Kwezz has a 1.17 rating and has been a star on this team. With an average if 86 damage per round, the player continues to outperform opponents in this tier.

Pick: Team Secret ML (-116 @ Pinnacle)

Team Secret has the better map pool in this match. The players have more firepower are in much better form. I am taking Team Secret to win this match and advance to the grand finals of the ESEA Season 34: Advanced Division - Europe.
