Cloud9 will face Heroic on August 26 at the IEM Rio qualifiers. Clouds have been showing very inconsistent results lately, and Heroic are currently in mediocre form. It is difficult to give a clear preference to one of the teams in this confrontation, but we will try to present an accurate prediction for this match, as well as choose the best option for a bet

Command Analysis

Cloud 9

Current form

Cloud9 are far from their best form. A team with such a lineup should definitely occupy at least a place in the top-15, but not be in 45th place. Clouds had no problems against tier-2 opponents, and recently they were even able to give a series of six victories. However, in the confrontation with paiN Gaming, the Russians suffered a defeat with a score of 0:2. Neither on Nuke nor on Mirage in that meeting were they able to score more than nine rounds, in both cases playing poorly on the attack.

Interesting trends for betting

Cloud9 wins 58.7% of rounds attacking Anubis
Clouds win just 12.5% of pistol rounds on Ancient

Heroic

Current form

Heroic are ranked 15th in the world rankings. The team has been showing weak results for a long time and clearly cannot handle the tier-1 scene. Over the last seven matches, they were able to win only 3DMAX (2:1), but lost to stronger opponents such as FURIA (1:2) and OG (0:2). At the moment, the "heroes" are only well prepared on the Ancient map, which they often pick and have a 62% win rate on, but on other maps, the win rate percentage leaves much to be desired.

Interesting trends for betting

Heroic wins only 37% of rounds on defense on Anubis
On Nuke, "heroes" win 35.7% of pistol rounds

Tip and bets

TipCloud9 Victory

2.05

In our opinion, Cloud9 cannot be considered underdogs in this match. Heroic previously showed a very weak game and lost match after match. Their last match was a little less than a week ago, and since then the situation could hardly have changed significantly. Plus, the “clouds” are doing better with the map pool than the “heroes”.

Prediction - Cloud9 win for 2.05
