BTS Pro Series S7 SEA betting predictions – August 5, 2021

Esportbet brings you free Dota 2 betting picks for the fourth round of play at BTS Pro Series Season 7: Southeast Asia. Here are our best bets for two games played on Thursday, August 5, with odds courtesy of the top esports bookmakers for gamblers in United States.


Motivate.Trust Gaming and Team SMG last met a week ago, when SMG won 2-0. It marked their seventh head-to-head clash of the year, only two of which have ended in favour of SMG (2-1-4).

It is, however, important to note that Motivate.Trust Gaming won both of the previous two meetings 2-1. Those fixtures happened just a couple of days prior to SMG’s upset win on Tuesday.

Even though Team SMG won their last outing with MG.Trust, the Dota 2 betting odds on this match don’t make much sense. Souliya “JaCkky” Khoomphetsavong and co. have beaten SMG twice over the last two weeks, yet the esports bookmakers are giving them a mere 24.3% chance to emulate that success on Thursday.

There’s a chance we see a draw, but at +311, it’s tough to pass on Motivate.Trust Gaming to secure their fifth head-to-head victory of the year.


Army Geniuses are priced as high as +713 to defeat Motivate.Trust Gaming, which doesn’t seem right. Even though Army Geniuses struggled towards the end of July, they looked much better last week when they beat Lilgun (2-0) and Execration (2-1).

Motivate.Trust Gaming boast a stronger record in their recent outings (2-3); however, their only two victories during that stretch came against Team SMG, while they came up short against Execration (1-2) and OB Esports x Neon (0-2, 2-3).

What’s more, Army Geniuses are 3-1-2 against Motivate.Trust on the year and 2-0 in their last two meetings. Motivate.Trust might have been more consistent than Army Geniuses over the season, but this is still an outrageous price on the outsiders.

You can take Army Geniuses with a map handicap at -102.04, but we’re going all-in for this bout.
