ESL Pro League Season 8 North America ,

Today in this match of the ESL Pro League Season 8 North America, we find two mid-tier North American teams duking it out on the map Train. This matchup will be the second in the two Best of One games played by these teams. We will be breaking down each team and find out which one has the likelihood over overcoming their opponent. Let's begin.

Luminosity :

Luminosity has been struggling immensely in this Pro League, currently with a record of 4-10. Luminosity has some great talent on their organization which is why I particularly am puzzled with how they continue to fall short time and time again. Surprisingly enough, in all of the turmoil that is the losses in this Pro League, Luminosity find some hope on Train. When playing on Train, Luminosity is 4-4, which is one of the only maps where they have a 50% record or higher. One point that makes me want to go for Luminosity in this instance is how they specialize on the starting half T-side. When starting on the T-side, which they will be in this matchup, Luminosity win 100% of the time regardless of being up or down at the half. This statistic gives me an interest in their ability to win this map agaisnt Ghost.

Ghost Gaming :

Ghost Gaming on the flipside has been doing particularly well in this Pro League. Currently, at 10-2 Ghost have shown that they can contend with other top tier teams. Their only two losses come from eUnited on Inferno and Complexity on Nuke. Not applicable to the map they will be playing on Train, where they currently have a record of 2-0. However, they will be starting on the CT-side of Train. Statistically speaking, when starting on the CT-side of Train, which has happened three times, Ghost has won only once in the past 3 months. The two losses come from not only being on CT-side but winning the first half. As in, when Ghost play Train starting on the CT-side, they will not only lose more than not, but they will lose even with an advantage going into the second half. This for me is a large hole in this aspect of Ghost and one that I did not expect to find when researching this game.

Final Thoughts:

It's funny, looking at both of these teams records and even their recent form, you may assume that Ghost will be able to take the series 2-0. Though I do think Ghost will win the first map on Inferno, this Train game will be an interesting one to watch, to say the least. I have a hunch that Luminosity, given the circumstances will win the game. Know the odds and how they are very much in the favor of Ghost Gaming, I wouldn't suggest a large bet because this is a risky bet and with the odds how they are, a small bet will yield a great profit if Luminosity win. Low-Medium bet on Luminosity.
