After a little break, and re-evaluating some things, I'm ready to continue with this group. For weekdays there will be quick predictions, for weekends I will go more in detail.

Once again * means I think the game is worth betting on.


VP > nV [Small VP]*
OB ? ExEsp [SKIP, no idea about these teams]
Fnatic > TSM [Small on TSM won't hurt??]
Public > x6 [Small Public]*
Titan > NiP [SKIP for me, too many variables with NiP not having confirmed their 5th for this match]
fnatic > Mouz [SKIP]
Penta > G2 [Small Penta, inconsistent teams]
KPV ? skillz [SKIP]
Publiclir > Wizards [SKIP]
Na`Vi > LGB [Small LGB with upset potential]
Titan > Property [SKIP]

FPL Challenge by Björn Borg

EnvyUs: NBK, shox, Happy, kioShiMa, SmithZz
Or
LGB: Polly, jkaem, zEVES, rain, RUBINO

I’m going to quickly say that if LGB somehow do end up beating nV, I favour fnatic straight up, and you’d probably see that in the odds. Let’s hope for the game’s sake and the odds’ sake that it will be another fnatic vs EnvyUs matchup.

Assuming nV gets through to this match:
Woooow, another matchup between these teams - they can’t get away from each other! Somehow, even after people were saying that nV was now definitively the best team in the world, fnatic has just beaten nV like every time the two teams have played since MLG X Games. Even in the Bo3 earlier on today fnatic won 2-0 with a combined number of 5 overtimes. nV seem to be starting really strong against fnatic and then not being able to close out on games.
And JW… He has been an absolute BEAST whenever he has versed nV and what I think is the difference between these two teams at the moment.

So fnatic has won all recent matchups against EnVyUs and have been able to close out matches.
How do I think will win? EnvyUs. Fnatic’s best is great. EnvyUs’ best is better than that. Considering that this match is the final for this tournament, nV will most likely play their best and that is well and truly capable of beating fnatic. So with decent odds you would think, nV seems like a really good choice here. This will be super close again and down to wire. The team that can handle the heat the best will win.

Prediction:
2-1 EnVyUs
My odds:
55-45 EnVyUs
My bet:
If I make one it assuming nV will make it through, med on nV.

Again, not a lot of overdog wins predicted for tonight but there are a few alright bets. I am being super cautious until some really good games come out to bet on.

Games marked with * are worth betting on

EnvyUs > LGB | Skip or ICB on LGB
TSM > Penta | Small on Penta if you like, I’ll be skipping as it’s a Bo3
VP > Property | Small bet on Property not a bad idea as VP aren’t the best at D2.*
Na`Vi > mouz | EDIT: Small on mouz for odds*
Dignitas > Property | Skip or ICB on Property

Quick predictions for tonight’s games as I’m busy!

WARNING: A lot of these matches are on ESEA which has terrible DDOS ruling, basically forcing teams to play on regardless if they are down a member or more due to DDOS. As we know, DDOSing has been very frequent over the past couple of days so I would keep bets on tonight’s games quite small.

Games marked with * are games I think are worth betting on.

Orbit > Ducks – Don’t bet, both inconsistent teams
EnvyUs > HellRaisers – ICB on Hellraisers*
fnatic > LGB – Don’t bet, LGB no chance imo
ESC > Property – Be cautious, upset potential
VP > Titan – Hard to tell but pretty confident VP has got this on de_mirage*
Titan > Mouz – Don’t let odds fool you, mouz have a good chance here in a Bo1; small bet mouz.*

ICB = Inventory cleaning bet

SLTV StarSeries XII
Format: Bo3, TBA

EnvyUs: Shox, Happy, KioShiMa, SmithZz, NBK

Thoughts
Well if it wasn’t 5am in the morning, I’d also watch this match.
Both teams have just come back from a huge LAN where they won 2nd and 3rd place respectively, with Titan playing some outstanding CS based around kennyS – the playstyle that we all know and love while at the same time gives us a heart attack. It’s common knowledge that I am a Titan fan boy, so of course I’d love to say that they will win here. They are versing EnvyUs though, and let’s be real here. EnvyUs are the team that is in a fierce battle with fnatic for the title of best CS:GO team in the world. This is no easy feat for Titan.

I see two great teams here but for a Bo3, I see one team that is greater. EnvyUs. Titan has real concerns in my opinion (unfortunately). As I mentioned their playstyle is based around kennyS, and if he doesn’t show up they won’t do so well. Heck, even when he nearly dropped a 50 bomb against fnatic a couple of days ago they still couldn’t close out one map. This is a best of 3. They are going to have to close out two maps against EnvyUs. Kenny will have to play well, but so will the rest of the team. Another concern for Titan is they only play their best on two maps. Inferno and Dust 2. EnvyUs love playing these maps and I think they will be able to take the heat. Again if Titan is to win they will have to win on potentially two other maps as only one of Dust 2 and Inferno will get through the EnvyUs veto. I may sound like I’m confident EnvyUs will win, but I’m just not as Titan’s best – is absolutely outstanding.

Prediction:
EnvyUs 2-1 or 2-0 with a really close map that Titan can’t close out.
My odds:
65-35 EnvyUs
My bet:
Very low on Titan, would not recommend putting a high one on EnvyUs.
