Lynn Vision Gaming posted a breakout performance during the BLAST Austin Major, but now it has to turn break past “flash in the pan” status by taking on 3DMAX in Fissure Playground 1.

There was a long list of big upsets throughout the BLAST Austin Major, but the team that exceeded expectations the most was Lynn Vision Gaming. The Chinese squad went from a 0-3 candidate in the first round of pick’ems to a 12th-place finish, beating the likes of Team Falcons and Team Liquid along the way. Now it has to show that this run wasn’t just a fluke, and that journey starts with this match against 3DMAX.
Betting tip: Don’t bite on any kind of major transformation within Lynn Vision Gaming at this point.
My 3DMAX vs Lynn Vision Gaming pick: 3DMAX wins 2-1 (1.51 at GG.BET)
Lynn Vision Gaming’s run in the BLAST Austin Major was a thing to behold. Cinderella runs are always fun, but the team had possibly the single biggest upset win of the tournament, beating one of the favorites in Team Falcons during the second group stage.
The question after a performance like that is how much of that run was the team being underrated, and how much of it was luck?
While the team didn’t chance its way into those victories, Counter-Strike majors inexplicably lean heavily on best-of-ones. Probably not coincidentally, Lynn Vision Gaming’s biggest wins during the event came in best-of-ones, with its best-of-three victories coming against B8, Chinggis Warriors, and NRG. While those are good wins to get, it doesn’t speak to Lynn Vision Gaming being an under-the-radar top-20-caliber team.
With that in mind, 3DMAX is an on-the-radar and thoroughly proven team that stands along the fringes of top-10 status. The team had a relatively disappointing performance in the BLAST Austin Major, but still asserted itself with wins against some of the top performers of the tournament in FaZe Clan and Legacy. Its full roster from the event is returning in Fissure Playground, which should translate to success against Lynn Vision Gaming and beyond.

The hierarchy of CS2 esports right now is a lot flatter than many would think, save for a few teams standing above the rest. Lynn Vision Gaming showed that in the major but with best-of-ones in the rear view mirror, things are going to be much tougher for the team. The GG.BET live odds are arguably giving a bit too much respect to LVG here.
