Team Secret vs. sAw Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 7/16

Team Secret and sAw face each other in the lower bracket final of the ESEA Season 34: Advanced Division. The online CS:GO league started with fifty-seven teams competing for a $15,000 prize pool. We are now down to the last three teams at the time of writing. The winner of this match between Team Secret and sAw will advance to the Grand Final and face Tricked Esports.

Team Secret is ranked 65th in the world and features a relatively inexperienced CS:GO roster. The team has played from multiple nationalities but with a very high skill ceiling. With a very deep map pool, Team Secret is almost never at a disadvantage in the map veto phase. The only map which Team Secret continues to ban is Vertigo. They are proficient on almost any other map in the pool, although their map pools do not inspire confidence.

The 38th ranked sAw features a Portuguese CS:GO roster. The team’s composition allows multiple players to be pillars of firepower and skill on the roster. The team has over 50% win rate on most of the maps with Mirage being the only exception.

Pick: Team Secret ML (+134 @ Pinnacle)

Team Secret won the last head-to-head match in the upper bracket of the tournament playoffs. Team Secret’s performance came on the back of a decent map pool and gritty performance by its players. I am taking Secret to win this lower bracket match against sAw.
