Heroic vs. MAD Lions Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 8/8

Heroic and MAD Lions will face each other in Group A of the DreamHack Open 2020 Summer Europe. The DreamHack Open 2020 tournament is an online CS:GO event and the European division features eight teams competing for a $90,000 prize pool. The tournament winner receives $35,000 in prize money and the glory of being one of the best teams in Europe.

The 19th ranked Heroic has a Danish CS:GO roster. The team comprises a very young roster and has continuously put up some really strong performances in the recent weeks. Crucial to the team’s success is the high skill ceiling on multiple players. Players like cadiaN have a lot of experience and are often crucial to the team’s success. The team has a relatively even distribution of frags with many players stepping up to the occasion.

MAD Lions recently underwent a roster change. First they parted ways with Bubjzki and then added Innocent. This match will be one of the first matches for the new roster and CS:GO fans will see their favorite players in action. MAD Lions has had a rapid rise in rank and performance in the past year. The tma’s performance has mostly been due to the high skill ceiling on its players who can often overcome strategic blunders with strong aim and on-point accuracy.

Pick: Heroic Handicap -2.5 Rounds (-172 @ Pinnacle)

Heroic has the stable roster and the team will have a huge advantage in this match against a relatively new roster of MAD Lions. The addition of the Polish player for MAD Lions bound to cause some problems in the team coordination and communication as they will now be switching from Danish to English with their in-game communications. I am taking Heroic to win a -2.5 handicap bet against MAD LIons.
