LDLC vs Quantum Bellator Fire

esportsbetting.com is hosting a Launch invitational tournament. This is an online Tier 2 tournament hosted in Europe.

LDLC would play an opening match in group A against Quantum Bellator Fire.

Many people don't know about Quantum Bellator Fire, they were pretty unpopular and unknown until Major in Boston this year, they managed to win in the Group stage against some tier 1 teams and they qualified for the main tournament with

3-1 record (Swiss system). At the end, they were defeated in quarterfinal of the Major Boston 2018. That was big for such a small team and I believe they have a bright future.

Let's start with statistics as always:

LDLC

Both teams won 3 out of 5 last matches.

Head to head: LDLC 2 - 4 Quantum Bellator Fire

We got pretty good odds on QBF considering that they could win this easily. This is a best of one online match, and experience is not the main factor in these kinds of matches, current form, map control, economy management and a bit of luck is what would decide here, today. Statistically speaking this is a 50-50 match but I would go for QBF. I was following this team since Major and they are in great form currently. Boombl4 and Kvik are doing a great job carrying this team. WaterfaLLz's style is different, he is not playing a regular CS:GO, and the opponents find hard to read him and that is what makes him special.

Last time these 2 teams played head to head was in a best of 3 series on a closed qualifier for DreamHack Open Tour, ten days ago. QBF won 2-1 in maps but they were just unlucky on Mirage, that should have been a 2-0 victory.

My bet here is a medium bet on Quantum Bellator Fire, 6/10. GL & HF
