DreamHack Open November 2021 betting picks – Wed, Nov 10

Esportbet brings you free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive betting predictions for three DreamHack Open November 2021 bouts. Here are our selections for BIG vs Team GamerLegion, ENCE vs forZe, and Fnatic vs Team Spirit, with odds courtesy of the top esports betting sites for gamblers in United States.


BIG have recently attended PGL Major Stockholm 2021, where they achieved nothing worth celebrating. The German squad exited the tournament in the New Challengers stage, with losses against Copenhagen Flames (11-16), ENCE (1-2), and MOUZ (1-2), and two wins against Entropiq (16-13) and Renegades (16-9).

Team GamerLegion have yet to attend an S-Tier tournament in their history and spent most of October competing in second-tier competitions and a few qualifiers. Most notably, GL made it through the DreamHack Open qualifiers about three weeks back with wins against forZe (2-1, 2-1) and Sinners Esports (2-1).

On paper, BIG are the better team, but realistically, they haven’t won a single important match since the departure of İsmailсan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş. Although still an excellent tactical team, BIG lack the firepower to run over weaker squads. The Germans should win, but their win rate is worse than GamerLegion’s on four out of seven maps, suggesting this match can go the distance.


ENCE entered the recently finished PGL Major Stockholm as one of the dark horses to make a deep run, but they couldn’t make it happen. While the Finns went 3-1 in the New Challengers stage, everything came crashing down in the New Legends stage, where they lost against Gambit Esports, Team Liquid and MOUZ.

Admittedly, ENCE are not good enough to compete against the elite CS:GO esports squads, but they’re still a top-tier team. Meanwhile, ForZe have had some flashes of greatness over the season, but success at big tournaments has eluded them.

ENCE and forZe last met in September during ESL Pro League Season 14, where the Finns won 2-0 with 16-5 on Nuke and 16-11 on Mirage. ForZe have not improved one bit since then, which is why we’re siding with ENCE to recreate that result.


Fnatic have done an excellent job assembling a new CS:GO roster, which might lack any notable achievements as of now but has all the right pieces for a bright future. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the Team Spirit squad, which is parting ways with the organisation after this tournament due to poor results over the year.

Spirit are still a very talented team, but the situation they’re currently in can result in one of two things: either Abdulkhalik “degster” Gasanov and co. enter this match with poor morale, or they will be even more motivated to step up and get spotted by another team.

Either way, it’s hard to make a case for Fnatic at -227.27 since they aren’t that much better than Team Spirit talent-wise. There is a world where Fnatic sweep Spirit, but there is also a good chance that the Russians cause an upset, so expect a close affair that will be decided on the third map.
