Can Envy sneak another win in against Cloud9?

Envy

Very interesting team here with the EU/NA mix. For me this team has the potential to be a top 3 NA team over time with the amount of talent the team has.

A weird pickup at the time was bringing Calyx into the roster considering for his whole CSGO career he's only played with Turkish players until late 2019. Since moving to Envy Calyx has looked suprisingly good and seems to fit in very well. For years in former teams he used to play vs XANTARES who stole the spotlight as the star player but in Envy he seems to be taking on that role.

Cloud9

Cloud9 similar to Envy are also a very interesting mix with a South African/NA mix in which they took the 3 best players from ex-Singularity and the 2 best players from ex-ATK and formed this current line up. When teams are usually made like this when all players have good stats and there's multiple 'stars' it usually doesn't work out great. However since they've formed they seem to have a great balance of star players and support players but still have no major 'weak links'

Cloud9 are currently 4-1 in Flashpoint with their only loss coming to Envy, this isn't too suprising to me because I do think every team they've beat so far they should be more than capable of beating and should be beating most of these teams 2-0. Even though this is the case you can't take anything away from them, they've been playing great.

My Bet Reasoning

Envy have already got a win over Cloud9 here in Flashpoint, both maps won by them was very convincing. I believe even though Cloud9 have the better team work Envy have the better fire power and as shown by alot of teams recently the team with better fire power can win any game.

Simply due to head to head in this game I think that 2.62 (38.2%) is way too high here.
