GODSENT
Godsent have already beat North in this competition, with the score being 2-1, however this was when Kjaerbye was still competing, now with Jumpy you would expect Godsent to have the advantage in this match today. Godsent have also been performing well in this competition with some impressive results including a 2-0 win vs mousesports.
North
North have been forced to play with their coach, ‘Jumpy’ after Kjaerbye has made the decision not to compete due to illness. This is a drastic downgrade; HLTV statistics show this as Kjaerbye’s had a rating of 1.02, when you compare this to Jumpy’s rating of 0.68 this shows how much of a weaker player he is, which is expected as he is their coach and he is 33 years old.
Up until last week Jumpy hadn't played 1 official game in almost 3 full years in which he only once again was a standin for Fnatic because they couldn't put together a full roster. Jumpy was an active player up until the middle of 2016 which is pretty much 4 years ago now. After this he moved into a coaching role and pretty much completely stopped playing. Most of these high level teams should be able to abuse this even though Movistar Riders and G2 both failed to do so.
My Bet Reasoning
Pretty self explanatory after reading the North write up but I'll be taking GODSENT lines here. They've already covered the handicap on their map pick in the last matchup vs North (with Norths full roster) and I only expect it to get easier for them here.
