  1. Pick: Low Astralis 2-0 Astralis have looked crazy dominant so far this tourney. Fnatic have looked good, but they've gotten off to some slow starts and their T-side can leave a lot to be desired. Despite that, Fnatic has made it quite far. I don't think Astralis is likely to be as forgiving as a team as NiP was today when it comes to giving up strings of T rounds toward the ends of halves. I think some upset potential exists, but I don't think that it's high enough to scare me off this bet. I'm going for a 2-0 based on the recent results between the two teams where Astralis hasn't let Fnatic even touch double digits. I don't think we'll see a series quite like that, but I expect Astralis' dominance throughout this event to continue.
  2. 22.4 Navi vs Gambit

    Pick: Low/Icb Gambit This pick carries insane risk, which is why I'm hesitant to even recommend a low bet. Navi have looked better as a team and their core 3 looked absolutely dominant against Mouz. However, Gambit are a team that can really stand up to Navi. Ever since Zeus left Gambit for Navi following the major, the teams have remained competitive despite a clear difference in individual skill. Gambit have looked good this tourney as well. I think if they can manage to get inside Zeus' head a bit that they can stand up to the crazy fire power that Navi have. It's going to have to be a long, grindy, tactical series or them to win, but I think that the possibility is there.
  3. 21.4 NiP vs Fnatic

    Pick: Total maps over 2.5 I think this should be a very competitive and exciting matchup; the Swedish derby normally is. There's an interesting storyline of Dennis vs his old team as well. I think NiP and Fnatic have both been decently strong throughout this tourney and that we'll have to go the full distance in this matchup. Taking a ML bet on this match is very risky as it's a borderline 50/50 without super favorable odds either way. This should be a fun one as Swedish CS seems to have gotten back on track, especially with where they were a year ago.
  4. 21.4 Astralis vs FaZe

    Pick: Low Astralis Part of me actually wants to go med Astralis, but they are decent enough favorites right now (1.5 range) to keep me from doing so. Astralis have looked incredibly strong so far this tournament, whereas FaZe have only beaten Envyus, a team who hasn't been performing great lately. FaZe also haven't been the same team with Xizt, especially not compared to when they have Olof. I think that FaZe will struggle in a bo3 against a team as hot and good as Astralis. The biggest concern here is probably Niko as he's been on fire all tournament and could be more than capable of winning FaZe a map. However, this is unlikely and if you can get anything above 1.7 I'd recommend a medium sized bet instead of a low one on Astralis.
  5. 21.4 C9 vs Gambit

    Pick: Low Gambit This pick isn't necessarily because I think Gambit are the superior team to C9. However, I think they can have some upset potential. C9 have looked pretty good on paper beating G2 and FaZe this tourney, but G2 got eliminated by Envy, who haven't been impressive lately, and FaZe haven't been the same team without Olof. Even with those things in mind, I still think C9's performance is surprising and impressive thus far. Gambit had a rough start against Liquid on Cobble, but managed to bounce back to beat SS 16-7 and actually eliminate Liquid in a Bo3 format. I'm not surprised C9 are the favorites but by how much is ridiculous imo. Gambit having 2.55+ odds on all the sites listed on hltv as I write this is kind of ridiculous, which is why I think they make for a good low bet here. They'll be better in a bo3 than a bo1 because C9's map pool will likely be narrower due to having a new IGL.
  6. 21.4 Mouz vs Navi

    Pick: Mouz This should be a pretty exciting matchup. This one definitely carries risk as these are both teams that have their eyes set on winning the entire tournament. Navi's communication and S1mple's ability to absolutely take over games are a pretty scary prospect to bet against. However, I think Mouz's coach being able to talk to them in game will allow all 5 of Mouz's players to focus on fragging, as opposed to Navi who have to rely on Zeus being the IGL. I think that Mouz will be guided to victory be exploiting Edward and Zeus, who can be considered the weaker links of Navi's roster.
  7. Pick: Low Fnatic I'd love to go medium Fnatic here, but I don't think the odds are good enough to really justify that bet. Fnatic has looked strong this tourney even though they suffered the loss to Navi yesterday. That game came down to the absolute last round against a good team. This is compared to Renegades who got stomped by Navi and narrowly defeated Tyloo (16-12). Fnatic has come to play and Renegades are still clearly struggling based on their results. The most recent matchup at Star Series may lead some people to be nervous, but that matchup was before Fnatic proved to be really good on LAN. If the odds were better than the 1.2 range, I'd probably go med on Fnatic.
  8. 20.4 Mouz vs Sk

    Pick: Low SK It's kind of crazy how fast SK have Fallen this year after ending last year as top 1. However, they've churned out a couple strong games this tourney despite the new addition in Stew. They played very close against NiP despite losing both pistols and dominated Valiance, an opponent that played Mouz very close. One thing that is concerning for Mouz in this matchup is their recent performance against NiP. They seemed to just get outplayed in terms of team play, as the comparison between Sunny (69-58) and Get_Right (57-56) show a huge discrepancy between each team's top fragger. SK may struggle in team play a bit with Stew, but I also think that their individual skill is high enough to make up for that gap, justifying a low bet.
  9. Astralis vs Liquid Pick: ML on Astralis Odds: 1.36 (BetOnBit; my betslip) Hopefully Astralis will start playing like they know. They are much quality team then Liquid, they should go to playoffs. Low odds on Astralis, but Liquid can take a map or who knows. My bet is on Astralis.
  10. fnatic vs Natus Vincere Pick: ML on NaVi Odds: 2.07 (BetOnBit; my betslip) fnatic and NaVi are in good shape recently, but again i think s1mple will carry NaVi to the victory. They shown good play vs Astralis lately, i don't see the reason why they can't beat unstable fnatic. Good odds to try it!
  11. mouz vs NiP Pick: ML on NiP Odds: 1.61 (BetOnBit; my betslip) I think mouz is in better shape lately, and are better team overall. It will be hard match, but i believe 2-1 or 2-0 for mouz, NiP is too unstable.
  12. 19.4 Navi vs Fnatic

    Pick: Low Navi I think this is another very risky match, as I can see either team winning this bo3. This is why I'm opting to play the odds on Navi which are at around 2.1 right now. Fnatic and Navi are both very good teams, and I don't think much can really be said about their first matches yesterday as they both came out, dominated, and took care of business. As previously said, I also like that Navi's teamplay has also seemed to improve to go along with some of their incredibly strong individual talent. I'm not sure that I can say that their team play and tactics are better than Fnatic's but those can be outmatched with more individual talent and preparation, which I think Navi can bring enough of to justify a low bet at 2.1.
  13. Pick: Astralis I think this is one of the "safer" games of the day. Of course, saying that means that Liquid will win 2-0. Jokes aside, I don't want to overcomplicate this one. Astralis came out guns blazing against SS and looked impressive in that 16-2 win. Liquid took care of Gambit as well, but I think that Astralis looked more impressive. I also think Astralis will benefit from stronger team play as Liquid have just recently added TACO, who said himself in an interview that he wasn't insanely confident. I think that's a good add for them in the long term, but, for now, I think Astralis maintain a definite upper hand due to it.
  14. 19.4 Mouz vs NiP

    Pick: Low NiP This match is really hard to predict and carries a lot of risk, but most matches are like this today imo. Both teams are more than capable of winning, and Mouz are in really good form lately. However, NiP played well against SK despite it being a close scoreline, and I think they have a chance to take the set off of Mouz. With regard to close scorelines, Mouz actually had a surprisingly close game against Valiance yesterday. I especially like the odds at 2.4, which, to be honest, is the main reason that I like this pick.
  15. Pick: Low Tyloo This game is pretty tricky to predict as both teams got destroyed 16-4 in their first game at Dreamhack. I don't expect either team to be a real competitor at this tournament either. However, I do think that the odds on Tyloo are kind of ridiculous at 2.5. This game should be much closer to 50/50 imo. Renegades have been bad overall lately, and I'm not high on them. There's definitely decent risk involved in this matchup as it's between two of the lower tier teams at this tourney, but I think the value is there for Tyloo.
  16. Pick: Astralis SS have seen a lot of good success recently. A lot of that success stems from their opponent's inability to strike Cobblestone. I think that as long as Astralis are capable of doing that, they should beat SS. However, if this bo1 does go to Cobble, I'd actually prefer a low bet on SS instead of one on Astralis. Astralis were actually able to beat SS 2-0 in ESL Pro League, where SS are currently ranked first. Astralis are good at playing the map veto to their advantage, and I think that will help give them another edge on SS. This is another match that carries some risk as SS are still a very good team atm, even when not on Cobble, but I think the 1.6 odds are very tantalizing for a med bet on Astralis.
  17. Pick: Navi This one has kinda s1mple reasoning behind it. Navi are in really good form right now with their last loss coming to Mouz, who are one of the top teams atm. Navi have also improved their team play a lot recently as well. Renegades have been pretty bad over the last week, which is about how long its been since their last win. I think the 1.4 odds on Navi are pretty good. While I do think RNG possess upset potential, it's not enough to scare me off of a med bet especially since Navi will be looking to place pretty highly overall at the event.
  18. 18.4 G2 vs C9

    Pick: Low G2 I would really like to go med on G2, but betting anything but low on a team with a new member on the roster makes me a bit nervous. I think the odds on G2 are pretty good at 1.7. I thought they'd be in the 1.5 range. C9 has been struggling in their recent matches; their record over the last 5 is inflated by almost sweeping RNG. G2 did lose to Godsent the other day, but their overall recent record looks much better than C9's better and fewer losses. In terms of the new roster additions, I think Mixwell is stronger than FNS and that FNS is a downgrade from what Stewie gave C9, which, in my opinion, also just gives G2 a better roster overall.
  19. 18.4 SK vs NiP

    Pick: Low NiP It's no secret that SK has struggled ever since getting Stewie2k. Considering these struggles, I think NiP at 2.2 are pretty good odds. They are certainly capable of dealing with SK in their current state. NiP aren't without their struggles in recent past or just generally in Bo1 formats, but I still think that they have a good enough chance to come out on top in this one to justify a low bet, especially with the odds they have. I would also like to say that this is likely one of the riskier plays of the day due to us not knowing how SK will perform at LAN yet.
  20. Pick: Low Mouz I don't think Valiance have much of a chance against Mouz. Valiance have some good players, but so do Mouz and they also play better as a team overall. This, of course, is shown in the odds as Mouz are very heavy favorites. However, I think a low bet can be justified as you won't be putting a lot on the line for a tactically superior team with better individuals as well. A skip is a reasonable choice here as well, especially if your odds dip anything below 1.2.
  21. 30.8 Fnatic vs Immortals

    Odds: 1.9 for Immortals Pick: Medium (2 unit) Immortals has definitely grown to be a world class from their humble Brazillian roots in the NA scene, being always so close to being an elite team but each time they fall down due to their nerves and experience. With the roster change early this year and the introduction of new talent steel, they have been impressive to watch and they rightfully are a top 5 team at the moment, with their insane performance in the Major finals a few month ago. Fnatic on the other hand is shaky at the moment, they just lost olofmeister, arguably one of the best players in the world until he sustained his injury. Fnatic's playstyle is always loose and flexible, and losing olof might throw them off balance even more.
  22. 30.9 North vs Cloud9

    Odds: 1.55 for North Pick: Low (1 unit) North is definitely the better team here, with a much stronger roster in terms of firepower, experience and teamwork. Over time North (ex-Dignitas) has grown to be the second best team in Denmark and it shows in their statistics and results. They have very good in-game performance and chemistry as well. Cloud9 on the other hand is always an inconsistent team, which is the case for almost all of the NA teams. They just had a roster change and their recent results are not convincing, in my opinion, with them losing to much worse teams like NRG. I don't think they can beat North.
  23. 30.8 VP vs NaVi

    Odds: 1.85 for VP Pick: Low (1 unit) Pretty even odds here and its hard to tell who will win this BO1. We haven't really seen VP at their best in awhile ever since they slumped after winning ELEAGUE season 2, and we all know that VP is just this dangerous, unpredictable veteran team that can absolutely dominate the scene if they find their groove. NaVi on the other hand is a good team, but for now it remains to be seen. They had a shake-up with GuardiaN leaving the roster and Zeus returning, but they really need time to practice together and just have chemistry all over again. We'll see what happens in this match.
  24. 30.8 SK vs BOOT

    Odds: 2.5 for BOOT +12.5 rounds 4.5 for BOOT +8 rounds Pick: Low (1 unit) This is absolutely worth the bet. BOOT is an elite SEA team with great players such as Benkai. They are quite good and have beaten top Chinese teams as well. This is like a tradition for SK, they always have these BO1s against random Asian teams and guess what? They lost quite a few of those as well. Remember SK getting 0-16 against Renegades and them losing to Tyloo in a BO3 as well? Although SK are still the favourites, with odds such as 1.01 for SK, its always fun to root for the underdogs with a very small bet.
  25. 23.7 EnvyUs vs Renegades

    Odds: 2.6 for Renegades Pick: Low+ (1.5 unit) Renegades is always a team that is fun to watch because they have a lot of talent with their lineup despite their under-developed Australian scene. They came close to qualifying to the PGL Major and what they really lack is their experience and motivation. With this tournament they should be focusing to win 100% since they failed to get into the Major, and results are promising. As long as they play with confidence they should be able to take down EnvyUs. EnvyUs is just bad and inconsistent after the French shuffle with G2. They lost to Heroic terribly in the quarter-finals and I would say they might lose to Renegades as well.
