MASONIC and Tricked Esport will compete against each other in one of the top matches of the second round. The victory will determine which of them will advance to the top matches of the third round and get a chance to reach the playoffs, and who will continue on to the middle matches of the third round. MASONIC, according to experts from bookmakers, act as the favorite of the meeting and, in their opinion, have a chance of winning with a probability of 56%. The coefficient on their triumph is equal to 1.65.
Is it worth betting on the favorite to win here? I propose to consider in more detail the game form of the participants and understand whether it is worth doing in this case.
Tricked Esport uniform
Now Tricked Esport are on the 76th line in the list of the best CS:GO teams according to HLTV. The roster was completed in early June. In August, the team played in three matches, two of which won. The team managed to perform in the first round with a positive result and gave a good start. The team prevailed in the fight against schadE halt with a score of 2-1. The latter, by the way, are equal in strength to the Danes from Tricked and are even only one line higher in the world ranking.
Tricked also tried their hand at the Nordic Masters Fall 2022 Denmark closed qualifier and took second place there. In the first confrontation, the team defeated Sashi with a score of 2-1, after which they were defeated in a match with MASONIC with a score of 0-2.
In those matches in which Tricked won, you can see that the triumph did not come easily and the team played three maps. This suggests that the team is inclined to participate in full-fledged Bo3 confrontations, which can be noted for betting in the upcoming match.
If we talk about the map pool of teams, then Tricked Esport like to play on Nuke and they do it quite well. In seven maps played, they have won five times, which equates to a win rate of 71.4%. On Overpass, the win rate is 55.6%, and on other maps their results are even worse. It is fair to say that they play Overpass quite often and even played nine times, and not seven as in the case of Nuke, but the performance still leaves much to be desired.
The weakest points of Tricked Esport are Mirage and Ancient. On the first map they played 8 times and won only 2 times. In the case of Ancient, the team never won, although they held 3 meetings there.

Game form MASONIC
MASONIC are two lines higher in the list of the best CS:GO teams in the world according to HLTV. The team is essentially completely equal to its opponents in the next match, however, their results have recently been more pleasing than what Tricked Esport shows.
In August, the Danes took part in five matches, in three of which they won. They managed to play in the open qualifiers at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe, the closed qualifiers at Nordic Masters Fall 2022, and played in the debut matches of Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 Contenders and CCT Central Europe Series 1. The team was unable to prevail in the fight against Astralis and SKADE, but beat PROSPECTS, minion bobs and, most importantly, Tricked Esport.
It should be noted that the Danish roster was completed in early August and only two weeks have passed since that moment, and the esportsmen have already managed to find synergy in the team and show good results.
I would like to pay special attention to the match that took place on August 20 as part of the final qualification for Nordic Masters Fall 2022. There MASONIC has already played with Tricked Esport, with whom they will have to fight again. The meeting ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of MASONIC. It is for this reason that bookmakers note a high probability of winning this particular team, with which I can agree. Although Tricked will have a high motivation to take a revenge match from their fellow countrymen in order to rehabilitate for the lost final in the tournament qualifiers, however, it should be understood that if MASONIC has already won this opponent once, then it will not be difficult for them to gain the upper hand again.
As for the mappool, the Danes show excellent results on Inferno. There they played 4 matches and won 3 times, which equates this result to a 75.0% win rate. On Vertigo and Ancient, the team has a 100.0% win rate, however, both of them were played only once. The story with Overpass and Mirage hasn't worked out yet. In the first case, with three maps played, the percentage of wins is 33.3%.

Conclusion
In this confrontation for me MASONIC definitely looks like a clear favorite of this meeting. Firstly, the team is in better playing shape. Secondly, on August 20, MASONIC already managed to beat Tricked Esport and will do it again. Then the team won with a score of 2-0, and this time everything can be repeated according to this scenario.
However, in this case, I prefer to simply bet on the victory of the favorite and avoid additional markets such as Handicap -1.5 cards, Total 2.5 cards and others. Odds of 1.65 are quite generous for this case, and here you can get by with the usual bet to win.
Final bet: MASONIC to win at odds of 1.65
