GamerLegion vs Heroic Prediction: GamerLegion noticeably weakened after leader's departure

Prediction for the Gamers8 2023 match which will take place on August 18. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

GamerLegion beat Apeks 2:0 in the first match at Gamers8 2023. Both maps turned out to be very tight, but GamerLegion was stronger in the endings of both maps. As for the upcoming matchup, Inferno looks to be the most appropriate map for the Europeans. They have a 100% win rate on this map and have already beaten the Danes in a face-to-face match. Of course, GamerLegion likes to pick Overpass, but this choice looks like a mistake. Heroic has an 88% win rate on this map and seven straight match wins. After the transfer, GamerLegion doesn't look so good anymore and is unlikely to win on Overpass. There will be a chance to win on Inferno, but we should not forget that GamerLegion won on this map in the old squad. And the victory was very hard. Whether the team can repeat its success is a big question.

Heroic started Gamers8 2023 with a win over Falcons, but this victory can't be called confident. The Danish team took it to overtime at Mirage, which they might not have done. Nevertheless, the team's class showed and won the match 2:0. Heroic can choose Nuke in the upcoming match if the opponent doesn't ban him. And Overpass looks like a great option for the Danes. Everything will depend on GL bans. Heroic has Ancient, which they used in the last face-to-face match. The Danes were able to win then. Yes, Heroic hasn't shown strong results on this map lately, but GamerLegion looks even worse on this map. After the transfers, GL looks much weaker, and in the upcoming match, the individual skill of the Danes should play a key role.

Heroic should improve in the second match. In the first match, the team took a long time to get started, they lost the start of the game, and only then they switched on and show their level. In the second match, there should be no slump at the start. GamerLegion has noticeably weakened after the leader's departure and is unlikely to stay in the top 10 of the HLTV rankings.
