BIG vs Vega Squadron

Here is a quarter-final match between BIG and Vega Squadron. The tournament is StarSeries i-League Season 4 Europe Qualifier.

First two spots take teams to LAN finals, so every team will fight hard since other teams are not so overpowered.

Big is ranked #24 and Vega squadron #17

Further statistical data shows us that pistol performance is 47,5% - 45,5% in favour for BIG.

From map distribution, we can see that BIG favours Train, Cache, Cbble and Overpass, and Vega Squadron favours Mirage, Inferno and Overpass. So the veto process will be very interesting.

If we take Big and Vega into a simulation matchup the results are:

BIG Bo3 win percentage: 55,3% and Vega Squadron win percentage: 44,7% and Bo1 for BIG is 53,6% and for Vega 46,4%, so BIG clearly has more chances to take a win in this match.

But after a high performance from Vega Squadron at ELEAGUE Major 2018, betting on home or away team is not such a great choice.

I think Vega will pick Inferno and BIG will pick Cobble, the third map should go to Train.

Bih has had a tough period winning games in last 20 matches, and Vega was a beast, but if you ask me, BIG has experience, and Vega is in good form at the moment, so my final pick here will be more than 2,5 maps. The odds are high, and all the stats suggest that both teams can take at least 1 map.

Small bet here, a lot of good matches incoming today.
