Even though is not the tournament that attracted a lot of attention it definitely has some of the most perspective teams on the scene. Bookmakers are heavily favoring two teams at this tournament. Renegades and Heroic. Both of these teams are not in such a good form, and they definitely did not come close to winning an event where they had competition. However, they will not have that much competition here and they should have a lot of easy matches in Bangkok.

GROUPS & FORMAT

Almost every single tournament uses GSL format in their group, which eventually leads to best-of-3 games. This is not the case with Toyota Master Bangkok 2018. They are basing their tournament on the round Robin BO2. Basically, every team from one group will face all the other teams in that same group. Only the best 3 teams from each group will advance to the playoffs. Every match till the grand final will be played in a best-of-3 series, while the grand final will be a best-of-5 marathon.

GROUP A

AGO

Alpha Red

Renegades

Team One

TyLoo

As I mentioned above, Renegades are the biggest favorites to win this event. They are favorite by every single bookmaker out there. However, they will have a tough competition in this group, in the likes of TyLoo and AGO. However, if we compare these teams, Renegades has a lot stronger individual performs and they will have to rely heavily on that since their team play is nowhere to be found lately. Rest of these teams stand no chance against TyLoo, Renegades, and AGO. I am positive that these three teams will advance to the playoffs.

GROUP B

5POWER

Heroic

Kinguin

MVP PK

Pro100

Unlike group A, this group is filled with competition. However, I feel like the first place is already cemented for the Scandinavian organization, Heroic. But, there are still two places left for the taking. Polish roster Kinguin definitely has a chance, but with their latest roster changes, they might actually struggle in Bangkok. Furthermore, we will have a massive fight for the third place and last spot in the playoffs. Any of these three teams are capable of beating each other, but I believe MVP PK has more experience than their rivals pro100 and 5POWER, so I think that MVP PK will book their spot in the playoffs.

DARKHORSE

This event has an enormous potential for a darkhorse. There are numerous reason why I think that. Firstly, the format itself provides a big chance for underdogs to qualify. If favorites drop their guard for a match or two they might found themselves in a dangerous situation.

I feel like TyLoo has a big chance to win this event. Even though odds are not sky-high, they are still very high. TyLoo is a Chinese CS:GO roster who has been dominating everyone on the Asian scene. They have been doing that for a couple of years now. Their best player is BnTeT, and this guy is insane. His ability to multi-frag is out of this world. He controls recoil very well, and he definitely had a lot of offers to join the European team, but he refused as he wanted to bring at least one big title to TyLoo.

Another reason why I feel they have a chance in this event is their group. They definitely had an easier draw. And they will definitely advance to the playoffs. Another thing I wanted to mention is their team play. This might catch a lot of teams off-guard, especially some of the better teams like Renegades and Heroic. To conclude, TyLoo is a very good team who has a great chance to become the first winner of Toyota Masters Bangkok 2018.

FIRST MATCH-UPS

There are a lot of first match-ups in this tournament, because of the not so popular format. We will not cover all of these matches, but we will provide you with our insights in the matches that caught our eye. All of these matches are played in a best-of-2 format, so you have value if you place a bet on the “draw no bet”.

TyLoo – Alpha Red

This is the opening match of the Toyota Master Bangkok 2018. TyLoo is a Chinese based organization that is definitely the best Counter-Strike:Global Offensive organization in the entire world. However, they always struggled in Majors against tier 1 teams, mainly because they lack experience versus tier 1 teams. On the other hand, Alpha Red has that unknown factor about themselves, since they are not very highly ranked anywhere. They have a decent AWPer and that is it. TyLoo will be able to win this match with pure individual skill and experience. 2-0 in my books.

Renegades – AGO

This is going to be a great match between these two teams. Renegades are coming to this tournament as the biggest favorite to win the entire thing, and they will have to try their best to win the opening match in this group. However, they will not have an easy task in front of themselves. AGO is a very solid Polish CS:GO team. They are capable to make things hard for every single team out there, and they are here to play. I think that Renegades have the better roster. Overall, they are simply the better team who should easily deal with the teams like AGO.

Heroic – pro100

Another team that is placed among the potential winners of this event. Heroic has been doing good lately, but just like Renegades and TyLoo, somehow they always struggle against better teams, and that is the main reason why they are always among the first teams exiting certain tournaments. However, this is not that type of a match-up. Pro100 is a semi-professional team if you ask me, and Heroic is definitely better in every aspect of the game. Furthermore, even if pro100 is capable of matching the individual skill of Heroic, they can not compete with their experience and match preparation. No way Heroic is losing a map against these guys.

Heroic – MVP PK

Another match that includes Heroic. However, this time they will face against the South Korean roster, MVP PK. As I mentioned above, Heroic usually plays very good against lower tiered teams, and they are barely ever losing these types of matches. However, MVP PK is a very solid team from the Asian region. They are capable of beating some decent teams, but they can also lose against unknown teams. Even though Heroic is a big favorite in this match, I think that MVP PK wants to prove a point and they will have an extra reason to perform as they can. They are definitely capable of stealing at least one map from Danish roster, Heroic.

MVP PK to win at least one map – 1.70 @ Betway

Heroic – Kinguin

Feels like I enjoy betting on Heroic’s matches today. I could not skip this match. Both of these teams are playing good as of late. However, Kinguin had its ups and downs and now they are stable again. On the other hand, Heroic is also playing on a high level, but they as well are prone to errors and Kinguin could use that to their advantage. The same thing can be said about Heroic abusing Kinguin’s mistakes. We will definitely see a great match between these two teams, and I do not think we will have a winner in this one. Draw in my books.

Match winner – draw – 2.00 @ Betway

Good luck to anyone who is tailing our CS:GO betting predictions.
