Tundra Esports ended the group stage with an excellent 4-0-1 record, which earned them a spot in the upper bracket of the ESL One Fall 2021 playoffs. Beastcoast were similarly impressive (2-3-0), and while their win/loss ratio isn’t as flashy, we have to consider that they had to fight through a much tougher group that included PSG.LGD, Team Liquid, Alliance, and Team Empire.
The top esports betting sites expect Tundra to win, but we don’t believe beastcoast should be priced as high as they are. They might hail from a weaker region, but if beastcoast’s performances during the group stage are any indication, they should put up a fight on Friday.
While Tundra deserve to be slight favourites, the odds should be much closer to even money. Take the value bet on beastcoast.

T1 and Alliance will clash in the opening round of the lower bracket at ESL One Fall 2021. Carlo “Kuku” Palad and co. last met with Alliance in June and won 2-0 in the lower bracket finals of ESL One Summer 2021.
Despite that result, it is hard to justify a bet on T1 at these odds with the form they have been showing of late. They barely made it into the ESL One Fall 2021 playoffs and in the group stage only managed to defeat Thunder Predator and Creepwawe, which are not exactly top-tier teams.
If you go by ELO rating, then T1 are a much stronger team, but that doesn’t mean much if they fail to show up against elite squads. We like Alliance more at the outsider price.
