The top Counter-Strike betting sites have made it very obvious HEROIC should have a field day against the world’s no.48 team. Their recent semifinal appearance at Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 appears to back that up, but there is more to this fixture than meets the eye.
Despite their resurgence, Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski and co. are not trustworthy or consistent. They have recently slipped up against MiBR, Lynn Vision Gaming, and even Ninjas in Pyjamas, so it is fair to say their run in Rio was nothing more than a flash in the pan.
At -833.33, HEROIC are given an 82% implied probability of winning the game, which is absurd for a best-of-one format. At this price, a flutter on Rebels Gaming is worth a shot.

9z Team are ranked much higher than ENCE, but that does not justify the offered esports betting odds. While a more successful side, Maximiliano “max” Gonzalez and co. travel to Finland in terrible form with just two victories — against Alliance and Betclic Apogee Esports — from their last eight outings.
ENCE have not played a single match since their early exit from ESL Pro League Season 20 in September; however, they have since added two new players, Kacper “xKacpersky” Gabara and Ryan “Neityu” Aubry. Even though both are unproven, things can only go up from here for Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander’s squad.
Siding with a team who have not shown anything since June and will play with two new members sounds like a bold move, but in a Bo1, it is hard to justify taking 9z at this number.
