Selectah vs. NAVI Junior Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/29

Selectah and NAVI Junior will face each other in the Nine to Five #2 Round 3 Low matches. The Nine to Five #2 CS:GO tournament has some of the best Tier-2 European CS:GO teams competing for a $50,000 prize pool. The Stage 2 teams are playing a Swiss format with the top eight teams moving to the playoffs. The first-placed team will receive $35,000 while the runners-up will take the rest of the prize pool.

The 155th ranked Selectah has been a disappointment at this event. While CS:GO fans were expecting a lot more from the likes of Edward and company, the roster’s novelty and instability has led to poor results. Selectah lost to Team Excellency and GamerLegion in the previous two rounds. So far, the team prefers to play on open-ended maps like Dust2 and Inferno. The team has lots of potential and includes some very talented individuals.

NAVI Junior is the org’s academy team. The team comprises a mixture of Russian and Ukrainian CS:GO players. The team has a deep playbook and can play on almost any map except Nuke. However, Overpass is also a weak link as it has just 17% win-rate on this map. Ranked 72nd, they are slowly but surely improving its results.

Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+150 @ Pinnacle)

Both teams are relatively new and their rosters have not had much time to practice together and develop a playstyle. This is the reason why the two teams are facing elimination after losing two of their opening matches of this stage. I am taking this series to be extremely competitive and go the distance of over 2.5 maps.
