In Group B, in the relegation match, VERTEX and Grayhound Gaming will fight for their right to continue participating in the championship. Experts from bookmakers consider Grayhound Gaming to be a clear favorite to win with an 81% chance of winning. The coefficient for their victory is 1.15. What would be the best way to put it here? We will find the answer to this question with you in the course of analyzing the game form of the participants.
VERTEX play uniform
VERTEX includes players who lack the experience of playing on the professional stage with high-level opponents. The team took part in official matches three times in August and already performed once in September. Today they made their unsuccessful debut at the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2022.
The Australian roster failed to win the Bo1 confrontation with Imperial Esports. The team took 13 rounds and was close to victory, but was defeated in the end. In the matches of two open qualifiers at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Oceania, the team won the fight against Bandits with a score of 16-4, but lost against Encore and Morbin5 with a score of 1-2 and 10-16, respectively. All of the above opponents
The team's map pool is expressed only in success on Vertigo. There malta played 4 times with his teammates and won all 4 times, which makes the win rate on this map impeccable. On all other battlefields, their success ranges from 0% to 50%. Most often, the team played on Inferno and Nuke, and for 6 and 5 maps played, success accounted for 33.3% and 20% of cases, respectively.
By the way, the team is ranked 108th in the list of the best CS:GO teams according to HLTV. Relatively good, but in the case of Grayhound Gaming - rather weak.

Grayhound Gaming Uniform
Grayhound Gaming is the 44th team in the world ranking compiled by the HLTV portal. The team is in good playing shape, even though they lost in the last confrontation that took place as part of the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2022.
Prior to this, five confrontations in the qualifiers for IEM Road to Rio 2022 Oceania were successful. It is worth noting that until a certain time the players played under the ORDER tag, and therefore this tag will be marked in the history of matches.
After moving to the Grayhound ranks, the players made an unsuccessful debut, but now they have a great opportunity to rehabilitate themselves due to weak rivals in the person of VERTEX.
In the open qualifier for IEM Road to Rio 2022 Oceania, the team beat Nut-E and Encore, and in the closed qualifier they defeated the same Encore twice and won the fight against DGG. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that Grayhound beat Encore, which are essentially stronger than VERTEX, which the Australians will face in the next confrontation.
Grayhound Gaming's first match under the new tag took place against paiN Gaming, a strong Brazilian team that is ranked 33rd in the world rankings. Despite the strength of the opponent, Grayhound imposed a fight on their opponents and ended the Bo1 meeting with a score of 12-16.
The team loves to play Mirage and Nuke. On these two maps, the Australians manage to play quite well, although in the last confrontation with paiN Gaming they failed to win on one of their favorite maps.

Conclusion
Grayhound Gaming is a clear favorite to win. The team did have problems in the first confrontation of the current ESL Challenger Melbourne 2022, but this is due to the strength of their opponent. Now the team has to fight with VERTEX, whose representatives do not even fit into the top hundred of the best CS:GO teams according to HLTV.
Also, let's not forget that the team performs well on Mirage and Nuke. VERTEX, on the other hand, only show good results on Ancient and cannot play either Nuke or Mirage. If Grayhound does everything right and bans Ancient, then they have a good chance of winning with a score of 2-0, which is what I'm counting on.
In this situation, I am sure that Grayhound Gaming will win and I think that the team will win, not losing a single map in the fight against their opponents. Outcome An exact score of 2-0 in favor of Grayhound is regarded by a coefficient of 1.55, and according to experts from bookmakers, the probability of such an event is equal to 60%, which is quite good.
Given the map pool of participants in the meeting, this bet has a great chance of winning, but I do not recommend betting a lot of money on this outcome, as VERTEX can surprise and take one card.
Final bet: Correct score 2-0 in favor of Grayhound Gaming at odds of 1.55
