OGA DPC South America betting tips – Fri 19/2/2021

ESB returns with another pair of Dota 2 betting tips for Friday, focusing on Infamous vs Latam Defenders and NoPing e-sports vs beastcoast at OGA DPC South America. Check out our predictions and value bets for those games, with top odds courtesy of BetOnline.


The Dota 2 esports betting odds for this match seem to be set based on brand value alone and make completely no sense. Infamous and Latam Defenders share the same 1-4 record four weeks into the tournament, which clearly shows there is not a lot to separate them, yet the odds suggest otherwise.

Even though there are arguments to be made that Infamous are individually stronger, there is no way their implied probability to win should be anywhere near 88.5% with the way they’ve been playing of late. There is not much to say about this except that esports bookmakers have made a mistake, and we will gladly take advantage of it.


Unlike the first match of the day, which features two teams that share the same record, this one will see NoPing e-Sports (2-3) take on the only undefeated team in the tournament, beastcoast (5-0), who have also yet to drop a single map (10-0).

Despite their superb record, we still believe the odds offered on NoPing are way too high for a fixture in this league. It’s also worth noting that ex-paiN Gaming carry William “hFn” Medeiros will stand in for Juan Carlos “Mingatte” Mamani, so it’s not like NoPing lack the quality required to compete with the league frontrunners.
