Market-implied, not a Sportslyx pick. Two-way de-vig of the series moneyline; the pair sums to 100%.
Market-implied: Legacy 75%. The series moneyline pair (Alliance +275 / Legacy -400) is de-vigged two-way into a fair probability for each side. This is the market’s number — the same anchor the Sportslyx board uses where a book prices the series — and it is not a Sportslyx pick. The members-only breakdown is written separately from these inputs and graded on its own.
A map handicap and a total-maps line, where the book posts them, are shown in the facts above as context; the percentage is derived from the moneyline only. Lines move up to the start, so this is a snapshot from the last refresh rather than a closing price.
Format
Series Format & Map Pool
Alliance vs Legacy is a best-of-three: the first team to 2 maps wins. The format comes from the schedule feed and sets the grading rule.
A Counter-Strike series is decided on maps drawn from the active competitive pool, with each side removing and picking maps in a veto before the first round. A best-of-three needs two map wins, and the deciding map, where one is needed, is the one neither team chose. Sportslyx does not ingest the veto or the map order of this series — the format itself, how many maps are played and how many are needed to win, comes from the schedule feed, and it is what sets the grading rule below. The members-only breakdown does read each team’s per-map win rates from recent results where the feed carries them; that data is not shown on this public page.
Most CS2 matches are best-of-three; grand finals are often best-of-five.
Grading in this format. In a best-of-three a series lost 1–2 is graded as a push, not a loss — the read was one map from right. A 0–2 loss is a loss.
Form
Recent Form
What form means in CS2 and where it is read. This public page shows the schedule feed only; recent results are not rendered here.
Form in Counter-Strike is the last stretch of series results read with two questions in mind: were they played online or on LAN, and did the roster that produced them start today? That is what the members-only breakdown reads from the results feed — recent series outcomes, map scores, per-map win rates and six-month player ratings where the feed carries them, the tournament each result came from and the listed roster. None of it is rendered on this public page, which shows the schedule feed only.
The CS2 hub explains how the breakdown weighs form against the line, and the CS2 results list keeps recent map scores for the whole slate.
History
Head-to-Head
Previous meetings are not listed on the public page. What head-to-head means in CS2 and how the members-only breakdown reads it.
Head-to-head in CS2 is read series by series — who won, on which maps and how close each map was — and it goes stale quickly, because rosters change between events and the map pool rotates. The members-only breakdown weighs previous meetings from the results feed against the current rosters; this page lists no previous meetings, and a first meeting is common.
The CS2 predictions page shows the graded CS2 record by month; the CS2 matches index lists the rest of the slate.

AI Series Analysis
What the Sportslyx breakdown for Alliance vs Legacy covers — and why none of it is printed here.
The members-only breakdown is written by a language model from the series data and the market line at the time it is generated. For CS2 it weighs schedule, live scores and results, rosters and team crests, tournament and best-of format, recent series form and bookmaker lines where covered, and it states which side the numbers favour; a board read on the series is later graded from the final map score. Where the book prices the series, the line is the anchor; where it does not, the product works from a calibrated model estimate marked “est.” that stays inside the members’ area. The breakdown text is not rewritten when the line moves, and the percentage shown anywhere on Sportslyx is market-derived, not a model score.
A series read that loses by exactly one map — 1–2 in a best-of-three, 2–3 in a best-of-five — is graded as a push, not a loss. The rule is stated on every esports page because it changes how the published hit rate should be read.
Nothing from that breakdown appears on this public page: not the side, not the estimate, not the text. What you can check without an account is how past reads performed — the CS2 predictions page publishes hit rate and ROI at a flat stake by month, labelled “partly est. prices”, and the Methodology page explains how a read is selected and graded.
What the CS2 breakdown weighs
- Schedule, live scores and results
- Rosters and team crests
- Tournament and best-of format
- Recent series form
- Bookmaker lines where covered
Markets read where the book covers the series: series moneyline, map handicap (±1.5) and total maps (over/under). Where the results feed carries them, the members-only breakdown also reads each team’s per-map win rates and six-month player ratings; the map veto and the draft are not ingested. None of the player-level or per-map data is shown on this public page.
Grading
Prediction Tracking
How a read on Alliance vs Legacy is settled and where the result is published.
A read on Alliance vs Legacy is graded from the final map score published by the results feed. In a best-of-three a series lost 1–2 is graded as a push, not a loss — the read was one map from right. A 0–2 loss is a loss. Hit rate is wins divided by wins plus losses with pushes excluded, and ROI is measured at a flat stake per read and labelled “partly est. prices”, because some CS2 series carry a model estimate rather than a book line. Every settled read lands in a calendar-month (UTC) record.
The push rule is stated on every esports page because it changes how the published hit rate should be read: a series the read got one map wrong is returned rather than counted as a loss, which lifts the hit rate relative to a plain win/loss count. Reads are selected on expected value with a price floor, so very short favourites are left off the board even when the market likes them.
The same settlement rules apply to your own tracked picks inside the workspace: add Alliance vs Legacy to a watchlist, log a read, and it is graded automatically from the final map score, with your net result shown in money at your own stake. The public record is on the CS2 predictions page, and the full rule set on the Methodology page.
