Renegades destroy everything in their path lately. They are in an incredible series of seven victories in a row and have a win rate of 86.7% in previous months. They have lost only one map in the last 10 matches! This summer, Renegades won $32,734, and 185 EPT points at the past three tournaments, which they conquered. The top three players in Renegades squad are Joshua “INS” Potter with 0.84 kills per round and rating of 1.33, Christopher “dexter” Nong with 0.83 kills per round and the rating of 1.28, and Simon “Sico” Williams with 0.69 kills per round and a rating of 1.14.
The remaining two that makeup the core of the roster is Jordan “Hatz” Bajic and Liam “malta” Schiembri. They are invincible on Overpass (1W 0L) and Mirage (6W 0L). It can be said that Dust2 is their most unpopular map, but they have a positive score of 57.1%. Renegades will compete at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Oceania and Perfect World Oceania League Fall 2020 tournament.
AVANT can't boast of their form lately because they have lost five of the last eight games and has a win rate of 58.6%. Chris “ofnu” Hanley returned to Chiefs this summer and the core of Avant’s lineup now is: “ap0c” Mike Aliferis, Hugh Anderson “HUGHMUNGUS”, Euan “sterling” Moore, Peter “BL1TZ” Athanasatos, and Jared “HaZR” O'Bree. They played 28 times for Mirage and Nuke and have a score of seven wins and seven losses on each map. They have a slightly better effect on Inferno (64.3%) and Dust2 (58.3%). In their last match in the Consolidation final, they surprised us with a victory against ORDER 2-1. Once again, “sterling” had great statistics with 85 kills, 93.2 ADR, 69.8% KAST, and a rating of 1.35. AVANT follows the competition at the ESEA MDL Season 35 Australia and at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Oceania.
Pick: Total match under 3.5 (-120 @Pinnacle)
Renegades played two times against AVANT in the past 30 days, and they won both. They are in a great form, and it is hard to believe that AVANT can beat twice in a row a better-ranked squad at the same tournament. I expect a convincing victory for Renegade without a lost map.
