Team GamerLegion enter this match with only two wins from their last seven outings; those came against forZe (2-1) and Sinners Esports (2-1), both during the DreamHack Open 2021 qualifiers in late October. Since then, GamerLegion have lost four in a row, including ESEA Season 39 bouts against Sinners and Team Finest as well as two fixtures against BIG and MOUZ during the DreamHack Open.
Anonymo Esports have a higher win rate, with four wins from their last six (4-2), although three of those victories came against semi-pro teams in Dolej Midou (16-2) and Team ESCA Gaming (16-6, 16-6). They last faced GamerLegion in September, winning 2-0; however, if their performances against Double Poney (1-2) and Wisla Krakow (1-2) earlier this month are any indication, Anonymo might struggle to replicate that success on Wednesday.
If we had to pick a side, GamerLegion are a better pick at +105. But since both teams are struggling somewhat, a bet on over 2.5 maps makes more sense.

Sprout have not looked too good across the last three months, struggling to achieve much in their competitive endeavours. Once ranked as high as no.21 in the world, Sprout are currently ranked no.61, an all-time low for the German esports organisation.
Team LDLC are in a better spot ranking-wise (no.56), but their success over the last few months has also been fairly limited. The French team’s only notable achievement in the second half of the year has been winning ESL Championnat National Autumn 2021 in October.
LDLC and Sprout last met just a month ago during the 38th season of ESEA Premier, where LDLC won 2-1 with 16-8 on Vertigo, 13-16 on Inferno, and 16-12 on Dust II. The teams have not shown any notable improvement since, so we’re likely in for another three-map series with no clear winner.

Copenhagen Flames are expected to crush Nemiga Gaming on Wednesday, and there is nothing that would suggest otherwise. And that’s not necessarily because Nemiga are weak, but mainly because Copenhagen are that much stronger.
The Danes hold an impressive 72% win rate across the last three months and recently attended PGL Major Stockholm 2021, where they finished in a respectable ninth-11th place. The Flames made it through the New Challengers Stage with a perfect 3-0 record, beating Astralis, BIG, and Heroic, and even caused some damage in the New Legends Stage, where they picked up wins against Evil Geniuses and FaZe Clan.
Copenhagen’s only three losses of the PGL Major came against three of the four semi-finalists in Ninjas in Pyjamas, Heroic, and G2 Esports. Considering they have been able to compete with the world’s best CS:GO esports teams, the Flames should not struggle against the likes of Nemiga, who recently lost their star player, Igor “lollipop21k” Sołodkov.
