ViCi vs. Checkmate, Preview & Prediction - Free 10/2 CS:GO
ViCi is a massive favorite to beat Checkmate and book the playoff ticket at the Perfect World Asia League Fall 2020, but the underdogs already displayed some fine performances at the tournament and will have a chance to make an upset. ViCi is not impressing lately and is not in a good form right now, so Checkmate can definitely smell blood in this one.
ViCi Team Stats and Latest Results
Like I said, ViCi has been in a disappointing form recently as they lost two of the last three matches and dropped to the 4th position in the group stage with a 4-2 record. They still have big chances to make it to the playoffs and they need one more win to do it, but Checkmate will not give up without a fight. ViCi won seven of the previous ten matches.
During the last three months, ViCi has been dominant on Train (87.5% win rate) and Nuke (84.2%), while they performed well on Vertigo (70.0%) and Inferno (60.0%). On the other hand, ViCi lost the only appearance on Dust2 and played poorly on Overpass (20.0%). ViCi’s current lineup has enough experience as they played together since July 2020 and appeared on 70 maps with a record of 47 wins and 23 losses. The team members are advent (0.88 rating), zhokiNg (1.10), aumaN (1.15), Kaze (1.23), and JamYoung (1.26).
Checkmate Team Stats and Latest Results
Chekmate did open this tournament with a couple of victories, but they lost four games since and won just one, so they are currently sitting at a 3-4 record. That is still enough for the playoffs, but with only two games to go in the group stage and an expected loss to ViCi, it’s going to be hard for Checkpoint to make it to the top 6. Checkpoint lost seven of the last 12 games.
In the previous three months, Checkmate was above average only on Inferno (58.3%), while they are without a win on Nuke and displayed disappointing performances on Mirage (20.0%). Checkmate’s lineup lacks experience, unlike ViCi’s, as they played on 19 maps with a record of eight wins and 11 losses. The lineup consists of H4wK (0.94), kaz (1.02), ROUX (0.96), bLitz (1.10), and Techno (0.95).

ViCi vs. Checkmate Betting Preview
ViCi will be looking to book their playoff ticket on Friday and then relax in the next game, while Checkmate will be hoping for a win in the final group match because it’s hard to expect them to upset the favorites here. The underdogs are not even in the top 100 in the CS:GO ranking, and even though ViCi didn’t impress lately, I am backing the favorites to get a comfortable victory.
