W7M GAMING vs KEYD STARS CLUTCH SEASON 2 BETTING PREVIEW

The opening bout of the CLUTCH Season 2 semi-finals will see W7M Gaming and Keyd Stars duke it out for a ticket to the big dance and a guaranteed R$25,000 (~US $4,250) payday.

W7M concluded their run through the CLUTCH Season 2 regular season with flying colours, accumulating an impressive 5-2-0 record and 224-165 rounds win/loss ratio. The only two teams that caused Rafael “raafa” Lima and co. any issues were RED Canids (1-1) and Isurus (1-1) in round four and five respectively. Besides those two stalemates, W7M picked up clean sweeps against DETONA Gaming, Soberano Team, Bravos Gaming, Alma Gaming and Keyd Stars.

W7M also appeared at the FLASHPOINT Season 1: South American Qualifier and Americas Minor Championship – Rio 2020: South American Closed Qualifier with limited success. The Brazilians lost two crucial fixtures against DETONA in the upper and lower brackets of FLASHPOINT qualifying, while they lost to both RED Canids (0-2) and BOOM Esports (0-2) in the first round Rio 2020 qualifying.

W7M have made no roster changes since acquiring Rinaldo “ableJ” Moda Júnior on loan from FURIA Academy in January. At the start of February, they re-signed Pedro “peu” Lopes as their head coach.

Keyd Stars will enter this match with a lot on their mind, as they have already lost to W7M three times in 2020. The first was a valiant 16-19 loss at Americas Minor Championship – Rio 2020: South American Open Qualifier #1, the second was a 0-2 sweep at the FLASHPOINT South American Closed Qualifiers, while their most recent bout ended 14-16 on Nuke and 12-16 on Inferno in the final round of the CLUTCH regular season.

While Keyd Stars have carried their weight through CLUTCH Season 2, five stalemates in seven outings is far from remarkable. Thiago “tifa” Fran?a and his crew lost only to W7M, but their only win came against Soberano Team. Additionally, their 176-177 map record suggests most of their matches were close.

KStars have made no personnel changes since rebuilding their roster in late January with the signings of Matheus “mawth” Gon?alves, Pedro “bnc” Mendes, Jhonatan “jota” Willian, Guilherme “pirja” Barbosa and tifa.

W7M GAMING vs KEYD STARS CLUTCH SEASON 2 BETTING PREDICTIONS

Keyd Stars are in a terrible spot, as highlighted by their 22.2% win rate across the last three months. While that includes a lot of draws, that is no excuse when you consider the quality of teams they have faced.

W7M are not as strong as they were a year ago, but this team has been on an upward trajectory since the start of the month. We are a bit concerned about their recent inconsistencies, but that can be attributed to the online format.

While all signs point to another W7M win over Keyd Stars, the favourites offer little value at $1.27 in the match betting. Also, the tight map scores in their most recent clash suggest the underdogs are not entirely toothless.

These two rosters know each other well, so we can’t expect either will have any tactical advantage heading into this match. Siding with Keyd Stars to win at $3.17 is a complete longshot bet and a bit too risky for our liking, but it’s worth backing them to win at least one map.

DETONA GAMING VS RED CANIDS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

DETONA GAMING VS RED CANIDS CLUTCH SEASON 2 BETTING PREVIEW

The race for a ticket to Moche XL Esports 2020 and R$65,000 (~ US $14,000) continues with Round 3 of CLUTCH Season 2, where we will see DETONA Gaming and RED Canids duke it out on the battlefield in a bid to keep their unbeaten streaks alive.

DETONA got off to a strong start at CLUTCH Season 2, with a commanding win against Soberano in the opening contest of the season. The match was expected to be fairly one-sided, however André “tiburci0” Rossetto and co. went above and beyond all expectations and completely trashed their adversaries with 16-3 on Nuke and 16-4 on Train. Unfortunately, DETONA failed to carry the momentum over into Round 2, where they produced a rather underwhelming stalemate (1-1) against Alma, who clinched a point with a 19-17 overtime win on Train.

Since their draw with Alma, DETONA made an appearance at FLASHPOINT Season 1: LAN Qualifier, but failed to see much success, as they were ineffective in their climb out of the group stage. Although DETONA started strong with a 16-11 win over BIG, they had to admit defeat to Pujan “FNS” Mehta’s stack Orgless and later suffered a 0-2 loss in their rematch with the German squad in the decider match, thus crashed out from the event at fifth-sixth place.

Following their unsuccessful attempt at securing a spot at FLASHPOINT, DETONA will seek comfort with a win over their rivals RED Canids, who unlike DETONA enjoyed a much more fruitful schedule in March.

RED Canids began their venture into CLUTCH Season 2 with a stalemate against Keyd Stars, who started the series by handing Canids a upset 14-16 loss on Vertigo. Keyd Stars, however, were unable to seal the deal, as they suffered a blowout loss on Train (2-16), which allowed Canids to secure their first point of the season.

With a somewhat underwhelming draw under their belt, Renato “nak” Nakano and his squad made sure to bounce back with a 2-0 win over Isurus in Round 2 thanks Bruno “latto” Rebelatto who put up an impressive 1.43 rating across the series with +20 KD.

RED Canids carried their momentum over to Americas Minor South America Closed Qualifier – ESL One Rio 2020 where they looked strong right out of the gates and secured a convincing 2-0 win over W7M Gaming. Canids continued with their dominance in semi-finals, where they eliminated Team One and repeated their success from CLUTCH with another 2-0 win over Isurus to secure a ticket for Rio 2020 Americas Minor Championship.

Latto once again proved his worth during America Closed Qualifier – ESL One Rio 2020, with 1.41 rating and +24 KD against Team One, followed by 1.68 rating and +18 KD against Isurus.

DETONA GAMING VS RED CANIDS CLUTCH SEASON 2 BETTING PREDICTIONS

DETONA will enter Round 3 of CLUTCH Season 2 with a 1-1-3 record in their last five fixtures, meanwhile, RED Canids are holding onto a perfect 5-0 record. Although DETONA played much stronger teams, namely BIG and Orgless, the momentum is on Canids’ side, and that alone should give them an edge over their adversaries.

As for players’ ratings throughout the opening two rounds of CLUTCH Season 2, DETONA are averaging 1.276 rating, which is 0.202 higher compared to their player’s average since January. RED Canids’ members, on the other side, averaged 1.174 rating in their opening two fixtures, which is only 0.072 higher compared to their average since the turn of the year.

When it comes to the map pool, however, Canids look better, with their 6-0 record on Mirage and 6-2 on Train, compared to DETONA’s 4-3 record on Dust II and 3-1 on Vertigo, as their two best maps.

It’s hard to separate the teams, however, due to their better map pool and superior form, RED Canids seem like the safer bet. Latto and co. are priced at $1.89 to defeat DETONA which is very generous and makes backing them here a very appealing betting choice.

DETONA GAMING VS ALMA GAMING CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

DETONA GAMING VS ALMA GAMING CLUTCH SEASON 2 BETTING PREVIEW

DETONA and Alma Gaming will clash this Wednesday in Round 2 of CLUTCH Season 2. The match will mark the second fixture of the season for the two Brazilian CS:GO esports squads.

DETONA enter the fixture following a dominant performance in Round 1 where they bested Soberano Team. André “tiburci0” Rossetto’s squad completely outclassed Gustavo “tge” Motta’s team on both Nuke (16-3) and Train (16-4), meaning they head into Round 2 with an impressive 32-7 round record.

After defeating Soberano Team, DETONA went on to appear at the FLASHPOINT South America Closed Qualifier. They bested Alma Gaming (0-2) and W7M Gaming (2-1) but fell flat in the semi-finals against Isurus (1-2), which pushed them into the lower bracket. There, DETONA made easy work of Rysix (0-2) and ended the series with a 1.54 rating across the squad, while tiburci0 put up a standout performance with a 1.91 rating to his name.

Alma Gaming’s first match at CLUTCH Season 2 did not go the way they had hoped, as they were thrashed by Isurus Gaming on Overpass (12-16) and Train (5-16).

Shortly after their loss against Isurus, Alma took a swing at FLASHPOINT South America Closed Qualifier. They started with a loss to DETONA (0-2) but found their footing in the lower bracket, where they defeated Soberano (2-0) and Dynasty (2-0). Despite their best efforts, however, Alma’s run came to a stop in Round 3, where they suffered a reverse-sweep against Rysix (1-2).

The Alma Gaming roster is assembled from some lesser-known Brazilian players who lack serious quality. On top of that, they are also struggling for form. While we have to give Alma some praise for their dominant wins against Dynasty and Soberano at the FLASHPOINT qualifiers, we can’t look past their 0-2 loss to DETONA last Friday.

DETONA proved to be a class above Alma Gaming on both Vertigo (16-9) and Inferno (16-13). Alma’s two best-performing players in the series were Raul “r4ul” Bruzaca (1.07) and Lucas “nqz” Soares (1.03), while the remaining three members failed to produce positive numbers. DETONA’s squad averaged 1.21, with Matheus “Tuurtle” Anhaia (1.36) and Filipe “fp1” Caires (1.35) the top-rated players of the series.

DETONA GAMING VS ALMA GAMING CLUTCH SEASON 2BETTING PREDICTIONS

DETONA are the stronger team. They are higher ranked, in better form, and have already defeated Alma Gaming earlier last week.

Looking at the teams’ respective map pools, we can expect DETONA to pick Dust II and Alma to choose Inferno. There is also a possibility we could see Vertigo, as it was the map DETONA and Alma Gaming played in the FLASHPOINT qualifiers.

DETONA hold a better win rate on five of the seven CS:GO maps, with Alma having the edge on Dust II (100%-43%) and Overpass (40%-0%). However, we must take into consideration Alma’s win percentage on those maps is inflated as they won games against significantly weaker teams.

This will be a best-of-three (Bo3) match, meaning upsets are highly unlikely. Looking at the two teams, we do not believe Alma Gaming have enough quality to derail DETONA.

Backing the favourites at $1.35 might not offer a huge payout, but it is the best bet on offer. A -1.5 handicap bet on DETONA can also be taken into consideration if the odds are over $1.60.
