Although this match may not initially seem like the most exciting one on the schedule, there is still some potential for Rare Atom to challenge TheMongolz. I see an opportunity for Rare Atom to take more rounds than many bookmakers expect. For this reason, I’ve chosen to bet on an “Over” for the total number of kills, although it will require Rare Atom to avoid being dominated from the start of the match. If they do get overrun early, it could become quite a challenge.
Arguments for playing the tip:
- Looking at the year 2024, Rare Atom has actually performed relatively well against TheMongolz, often delivering closer matches than many would expect.
- Rare Atom has had several close games in 2024, regularly covering the line for the total number of kills in these matches.
- Both teams have an aggressive, tactical style of play that can lead to a high number of kills. This is not a “Virtus Pro CS” situation, where play is slow and methodical; instead, this promises to be intense action.
- TheMongolz typically doesn’t dominate their opponents in BO1 matches. It’s been proven several times that they aren’t always at 100% from the start of the match.
- While the team has not yet reached its full potential, there are several players with great potential. Their individual skills could pose problems for TheMongolz on a good day.
Keep an eye on:
- If TheMongolz plays at their highest level, and everything falls into place, Rare Atom will quickly be outmatched.
- TheMongolz enter this match with great confidence and are in top form. They look incredibly strong both individually and as a team, having peaked just before this year’s Major.
- Rare Atom made it to the opening stage fairly easily, with wins over Talon and GR. However, their play depends heavily on individual performances, which have not yet been consistently strong.
- TheMongolz clearly outmatches Rare Atom in terms of firepower, tactical play, map pool, and individual strength. If they hit their peak, they will be on a much higher level than Rare Atom.
