The matchup

Our number is around 72 on M80, so there is nothing to take pre-game. Lake rates 89 on CARNAGE and is the likeliest top fragger in the game. cass1n leads BESTIA.

The fives

M80 are Lake, JBa and Swisher on rifles, slaxz- on the AWP and s1n calling. BESTIA are drop, timo and kauez on rifles, cass1n on the AWP and buda calling. BESTIA's lineup is new: drop and kauez joined on September 9 with nacho moving out, so their results with this five are limited and our number for them carries more uncertainty than usual.

BESTIA lean on their AWPer as the top player. Full rosters and roles for every top team are on LINEUPS.

Following it

WIRE carries the live price and any lineup news on this one, which matters with a BESTIA five that is only two weeks old. WIRE PRO has our number next to the price and resets it after map one, which is where the two are most likely to separate. It also prices the map handicap and total maps, and the frag board has Lake's projection, likely range and top-frag chance next to the other nine, with a Higher or Lower call against your app's projection.

Prices move, and our number is an estimate, not advice.
