FURIA Esports are priced as betting favourites against GODSENT, which should make a lot of sense, considering they’re much higher rated (no.18) than their compatriots (no.37). However, those ratings don’t mean much, particularly in a best-of-one (Bo1) match.
And it’s not like you can be overly impressed with what FURIA have achieved of late – placed fifth-eighth at Malta Vibes Knockout Series #2, and crashed out of groups at the ESL Pro League Season 14. FURIA’s only notable accomplishment of 2021 happened in July when they won Elisa Invitational Summer 2021.
Even though FURIA are still a better team individually, betting on them at the offered CS:GO betting odds offers little to no value. Instead, we like GODSENT, who have recently won DreamHack Open September 2021 North America and are undefeated in their last eight.

EXTRA SALT vs BAD NEWS BEARS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | Extra Salt -270.27 at BetOnline | BNB +191 at BetOnline |

Extra Salt and Bad News Bears will cross paths on Tuesday, October 5, in the second round of Group A at Intel Extreme Masters Season XVI Fall North America. It will mark their first meeting since Friday, October 1, when Extra Salt won 2-0, with 16-11 on inferno and 16-8 on Ancient.
It’s very easy to see that Extra Salt are much better and not necessarily because this is a top-level team, but rather because Bad News Bears are a complete mess. BNB haven’t won anything besides some lesser tournaments in Fragadelphia 15 and ESEA Cash Cup and are not a team you would want to represent the region at international competitions.
Extra Salt might not have won any notable tournaments, but they haven’t placed worse than third across the last eight competitions. We will trust Extra Salt to emulate what they produced on Friday and defeat Bad News Bears with at least four rounds to spare.
