Winner of the G2/Astralis game will play against Gambit. Winner of the Furia/NaVi game will face Heroic.
G2 vs Astralis, G2 -149
We will start with the Danish side in this game. Astralis has really surprised a lot of people by making it this far in the tournament. After losing Dev1ce we thought that it would take a long rebuild to get back to this point. But Bubzkji has covered the position fairly well, but this is not going to be a long time solution for the squad. For this tournament Astralis have played well beating Extra Salt and Complexity. They did just get swept by Heroic in a series they didn't look good in. This team is not good enough at the moment to be a hot G2 team. It's been a good run at this tournament for Astralis but i believe that it will end tomorrow
Then we get the red hot G2 team. This team has looked really good this tournament. They started off this tournament beating Spirit. They lost a very competitive series against the #1 team in the world losing 2-1 to Gambit. Since then they haven't dropped a map sweeping both Mousesports and Virtus.pro in dominant fashion. Streaks are big in CSGO like they are in other sports and I don’t want to go against this G2 team.
Free CSGO pick: G2 -149
Furia vs NaVi, NaVi -200
The Final game of the day we get Furia against NaVi at 2pm EST.
NaVi is coming into this game looking impressive in this tournament. We didn't know how the team would play with B1T being a full time player and benching flamie. B1T has been quite good as a 1-2 punch with superstar s1mple. They have gone through Mousesports and Virtus.pro before losing the last game to Gambit 2-1 in a hard fought series. I'm still looking to see if B1T can play at a high level and if he can this team will be a very scary team.
On the other side of this game we have Furia who is still playing some solid CS and is a force to be wrecking with. Since their ugly loss to BIG in the first round they have turned it around and have beaten Pain, Complexity, and Vitality. The big question we will need answered is; Can junior play at this level? He 100% has potential but he will need more time and practice with this team to really get comfortable. I do believe Furia has what it takes to beat NaVi tomorrow and I will be backing them.
Free CSGO play: Furia +154
