coL vs. WinterFox at ESL Predictions

First map is going to be Dust2 and Dust2 is CoL’s best map easily, they’re extremely good on this map and are IMO able to upset any top NA team on this map, they went 17-19 to CLG and 13-16 to NRG, those are losses but IMO real close ones. Dust2 is by far CoL’s best map.

Dust2 for WFX has been rather shaky, they can be good on it but really seem to rely on Xp3’s awping here, he hasn’t been on point lately so WFX haven’t had the best results here. 4-16 against Renegades and a 6-16 against NRG aren’t really close matches at all and worries me.

I think that Dust2 is going to be a one sided match in favour of CoL. It’s a pug map and CoL right now just look like a pug team, It will be extremely hard for WFX to hold CoL’s T side, so we will be going for CoL on Dust2.

My odds for this match: coL 60:40 WinterFox

Conclusion

This one is tricky mainly due to given the circumstances of both of these teams currently. At times Winterfox can be really good, and they have the players to be quite good, however they just do not work out for some reason. I sound like a broken radio saying this over and over, however it is true. They will pull off the ocassional upset, and then just get demolished afterwards for a long time, it’s really annoying and confusing. CoL obviously removed Frod, added Witmer and sit in a interesting place. Not quite sure what I can expect from this team, however they definitely have good potential here. This is the first map between these two by the way, on Dust2, a map where we have seen CoL have some good results and scorelines on. Winterfox are a big hit or miss on it, don’t play it often, and they seemingly have an idea how to play it when playing it, however once again, the Winterfox just kicks in and they lose bad rounds. I would heavily recommend playing the odds here as it is not the greatest of matches, and definitely going low. I will favor CoL here as even when struggling they were able to do some damage, while Winterfox just keep sucking. 65-35 in favor of CoL.

My odds for this match: coL 65:35 WinterFox

First map between these 2 is D2 and this is a map that I have seen WFX struggle on a lot recently. They have for the most part been in good form, but they have also split almost every double header, and I can see that happening again tonight too. D2 is a map that in my eyes favours coL. It suits their players more, suits their play styles, and overall their performances and results on it have been better. The odds for me on this match up, are about 65-35/60-40 and with the odds currently being how they are, I would suggest a LOW bet on coL. Picking coL to get at least 12.5 rounds on fanobet might be a good and slightly safer bet if you feel like it.

My odds for this match: coL 65:35 WinterFox
