Sinners Esports delivered on Saturday, stunning G2 Esports to the tune of 2-1 with 16-10 on Vertigo, 10-16 on Inferno, and 16-9 on Mirage. Although a phenomenal result for the Czech squad, we have to take those round-one matches with a grain of salt given underdogs usually do well in games that happen after long competitive breaks.
Virtus.pro lost against both OG (0-2) and forZe (1-2), which might seem shocking at first glance, but it really isn’t. OG are a good team and live underdogs for a deep run, while forZe now have a 3-1 record against VP this year.
Virtus.pro are the stronger team and should win on Tuesday, although they have had a few iffy showings over the last month and seem prone to dropping maps against weaker sides. We like over 2.5 maps for this match.

G2 Esports have yet to find their footing at ESL Pro League Season 14, losing against Sinners Esports (1-2) and OG (0-2). However, the games are being played online, so upset results aren’t that surprising.
Complexity took a map off ForZe on Saturday, which is a decent effort, but it isn’t easy to be optimistic about this roster. Complexity are playing with a new member in Patrick “es3tag” Hansen and a new coach, while stand-in Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassen was terrible on Saturday (0.82 rating).
Betting on clean sweeps at this level of play can be risky, but we have to trust G2 to shift into a higher gear and start their climb to the top of Group B. Complexity have potential, but they clearly haven’t had enough time to incorporate all the new pieces into their game.
