I would like to start this off by saying sorry to those who lost on the LDLC v Dignitas game,I really did not expect them to lose that badly,but they did put up a fight winning the 2nd map.
Okay so that is now out of the way,Lets get predicting!
Grand Final!
MLG X-Games Aspen 2015
Best of 3 maps!
Maps: Unknown
CSGL Odds : NiP - 49% LDLC - 51%
HLTV Odds : NiP - 53% LDLC - 47%
Man to look out for in this match : Of course its Get_Right! he has clutched many rounds for us in yesterdays game against Fnatic saving us a lot of rounds and those rounds most definitely came in useful as the first map ended 14-16,all 30 rounds used,2nd map Inferno ending up being 14-16 to Fnatic (Inferno is regarded as Fnatic's best map) and NiP went on to beat Fnatic in Mirage 16-12.
Lets start off with NiP,the winners of our precious skins yesterday(well your precious skins,I didn't bet anything)They have showed us that they can clutch eco rounds and even 1v2 or 1v3's winning against Fnatic was huge for them (Fnatic regarded as the best team in the world currently)Although we don't know the maps on this match,and it does start in 10 hours we can ensure that NiP will be in their top form for the final (They are possibly sleeping right now as they are in North America!)And the odds are also perfect for this match,lounge says it's 50-50 but believe me guys,it is not,it is more like 60-40 to 70-30 to NiP! but of course we can't be this biased,let's head onto LDLC.
LDLC,They have also beat Fnatic in a BO1 (Best of 1) in this tournament on Inferno! 16-9 whilst NiP lost to Fnatic 14-16,I'm sure it was just because the tension was high to get into the finals,but now the tensions will be even higher because of the Grand Final and also the 25000$ jackpot for the first team following with 12500$ for the second place team!
But lets not underestimate LDLC,they have done wonders before ,(back when KQLY was still in the team,and oh boy am I happy that he is banned and cant spoil future events)
I can't imagine the tensions that will be in this Grand Final as both teams WILL try their best and hardest to win this game,but there is only 1 team that will come out on top!
Both teams have 4 out of 5 wins from their previous 5 games,this shows us that they are consistent at winning,but we have to take in mind that most of them were BO1's and only yesterday night did BO3's start coming out which were the 2 Semifinals,and this IS the Grand Final ! so I would recommend you grab your popcorn and spend you Sunday night watching this game!
This will be a thrill ride as both teams will get to play the map of their choice and a 3rd random map hopefully,imagine it would go to 15-15 double OT ,now wouldn't that be a thrill ride?
This isn't over ,this is the grand final ! so the prediction will be extra long!
The previous match-ups
Lineups, head to head
29/11 14 NiP vs. LDLC - DreamHack Winter 2014 - overpass 16-19
29/11 14 NiP vs. LDLC - DreamHack Winter 2014 - inferno 16-4
29/11 14 NiP vs. LDLC - DreamHack Winter 2014 - dust2 10-16
27/11 14 NiP vs. LDLC - DreamHack Winter 2014 - overpass 13-16
09/10 14 NiP vs. LDLC - FACEIT League EU Season 2 - inferno 9-16
As you can see it's 2/3 matches that have been won by NiP and 3/5 of them have been won by LDLC,notice something? It's all BO1!This final is a BO3,although one can reflect on these results as being very important,I find them minuscule as they are only best of 1's and only reflect 1 map at a time and not the tension that a best of 3 would provide,and besides those are not finals,So what can we learn from this?Well we can say that the pressure is not of the greatest kind nor is it a
BO3 which can change a lot of things that go on in the Pro players head such as "lets just skip this map,its lost already"
and so forth with what they think.
So to sum it all up,or TL;DR
Grand Final
LDLC V NiP
Maps : Unknown
Expected Winners : NiP
Bet : Medium/High
Odds : NiP - 48% LDLC - 52%
Tensions will be high!they will try to make as least amount of mistakes as they can,so you can guarantee that this game will be fun to watch!
