CCT North Europe Series #2 betting tips – November 24, 2022

ESB brings you free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive betting predictions for the opening round of CCT North Europe Series #2 on Thursday, November 24. Here are our picks for Tricked Esports vs MASONIC, Team Falcons vs Dynamo Eclot, and Anonymo Esports vs forZe.

CCT North Europe Series #2 kicks off with an all-Danish clash between Tricked Esports and MASONIC, who last met one week ago when Tricked won 16-9. It marked Tricked’s second head-to-head victory since October, when they bested their regional rivals 19-17.

Since that clash, Tricked have faced Atlantic (13-16), Sashi Esports (16-14), Flames Ascent (16-9), and Prosapia (10-16). And even though they’ve won half of those outings, it’s hard to look past their defeats against Atlantic and Prosapia, which are third-tier teams.

MASONIC have played three games since their loss against Tricked against st0ny (16-3), Sashi Esports (16-5), and Alpha Gaming (16-7). Much like Tricked, MASONIC had a very easy schedule, but they have won all three fixtures, as they should.

Talent-wise, MASONIC and Tricked are equal, so we have to focus more on the teams’ form, which tips the scale in favour of Theis “J3nsyy” Jensen and his crew. Even though Tricked won this match last week, they have been largely disappointing over the last week and don’t deserve to be priced at -227.27. Value is with MASONIC.

Team Falcons played a very close series against 9INE (0-2) on Tuesday when they showed some glimpses of greatness but still came out short. We saw some improvement in their gameplay, but the French squad needs a bit more time to gel.

In contrast, Dynamo Eclot have also looked much better lately and have won five of their last six outings, which includes wins against ENTERPRISE esports (2-0), Into the Breach (16-6), and Copenhagen Flames (2-1). By no means outstanding results, but Eclot were 1-4 in the final week of October and are 7-2 in November.

Esports betting sites have priced Team Falcons as -227.27 favourites, which doesn’t look right. Team Falcons might field Nathan “NBK-“Schmitt, Kenny “kennyS” Schrub, Kévin “misutaaa” Rabier, but those are merely known names and not players you would trust to carry games in the form they’re in now.

At the offered CS:GO betting odds, it’s tough to pass on Dynamo Eclot. They seem weaker on paper, but they’ve been playing better than the Falcons.

Anonymo Esports and forZe last met in March, when forZe won (2-1) during ESEA Advanced Season 40 Europe. But that result holds no weight, knowing that forZe now fields an entirely different roster.

This again seems like one of the games where the betting odds are set mainly based on brand value. ForZe, while a decently strong team, haven’t shown anything this month besides their lack of consistency. Last week, they lost against HAVU (0-2), then edged past Tricked Esports (2-1) but were no match for K23 (0-2).

Anonymo are in a similar spot, with shaky results from their recent games. They are 4-3 across their last seven and have won only against Fnatic Rising (2-1), GTZ.ESPORTS (2-0), 180mgkoffein (2-1), SKADE X (2-1), and LODIS (16-10). A win is still a win, but seeing Anonymo drop maps against the likes of 180mgkoffein and SKADE X is hardly inspiring.

We have some doubts about forZe’s ability to win the games they’re supposed to but seeing Anonymo struggle against SKADE X (world no.120) is enough to convince us that forZe can sweep.
