FURIA enter the final week of the ESL Pro League regular season as the strongest team in the field. The Brazilian squad have swept every opponent they’ve faced since their narrow 2-1 win against Cloud9 in the opening week, which includes 2-0 triumphs against Team Liquid, Gen.G and even Evil Geniuses.
FURIA and Chaos last met in August during ESL One Cologne 2020 Online North America, where Chaos achieved an upset 2-0 win. Based on what Anthony “vanily” Malaspina and co. have shown in recent weeks, however, they will struggle to come even close to repeating that success this Tuesday, mainly due to the departure of in-game leader Joshua “steel” Nissan.

Avant Gaming and ORDER will clash in the opening round of ESL Pro League Season 12 Oceania, which will also mark their fifth meeting since the start of August. Each side have won two of their last four series, which suggests we are in for another close affair.
The Oceanic CS:GO esports fixtures are frequently a coin-toss because these teams face each other often – especially now during the COVID-19 pandemic – and know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. There is not a lot to separate Avant from ORDER quality-wise, which is why we are predicting a three-map series.

VICI GAMING vs INVICTUS GAMING CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| CS:GO Betting Odds: | ViCi -322.58 at BetOnline | IG +221 at BetOnline |

ViCi Gaming won each of their last four meetings with Invictus Gaming with a combined 8-2 map differential. Their most recent bout took place last weekend during Perfect World Asia League Fall 2020, when ViCi claimed a clean sweep with 16-10 on Mirage and 19-15 on Nuke.
Much of ViCi’s success comes down to Yi “JamYoung” Yang, who has been playing exceptionally well of late. JamYoung has finished below a 1.00 rating only three times in his last 21 outings, while he averages a 1.31 rating against IG in that span.
Unless IG pull out a rabbit out of the hat, ViCi should claim a comfortable 2-0 win.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs HELLRAISERS DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | NiP +202 at BetOnline | Draw +110 | HR +242 |

Ninjas in Pyjamas and HellRaisers both showed up in the BTS Pro Series group stage and enter the final week of the Dota 2 esports tournament with the same 3-2-1 record and 8-4 map differential.
HellRaisers looked in good form last week, but they dropped the ball against Team Unique on Saturday, which raises some flags. Ninjas in Pyjamas claimed a convincing 2-0 win over Unique and a stalemate against Vikin.gg, but they fell apart against mudgolems on Wednesday.
These teams met twice four months ago when NiP pocketed two 2-0 sweeps. Siding with HellRaisers at higher odds might not seem like a bad bet, but after seeing them lose to Unique, we have to trust NiP to extend their head-to-head record to 3-0.

ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP vs PHOENIX GAMING BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | RNG -2000 at BetOnline | Phoenix +737 at BetOnline |

Phoenix began their journey through the China Pro Cup with a shock 2-0 win against EHOME. While they dropped the ball against Team MagMa (1-2) over the weekend, Phoenix still looked quite solid. The main thing to take away from Phoenix’s games is their aggression, which is often an effective playstyle for semi-amateur squads when facing stronger sides.
While it’s difficult to imagine Phoenix can upset Royal Never Give Up, we have to note that RNG are 3-7 in their last 10 and have played only two matches since late July. Phoenix have nothing to lose, so it’s fair to expect the series to begin fast and bloody with a lot of kills on the board.
