IEM Fall Oceania 2021 betting picks – Wednesday, September 29

Esportbet brings you free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive betting picks for the opening two bouts at Intel Extreme Masters Season XVI Fall Oceania on Wednesday, September 29. Here are our tips for Renegades vs VERTEX Esports Club and ORDER vs LookingForOrg, with betting odds courtesy of BetOnline.


Renegades are clear favourites to qualify for PGL Stockholm 2021 as the best-performing Oceanic Counter-Strike team of the year. What’s more, Joshua “INS” Potter and co. are, besides ORDER, the only squad from the region who still have a chance to reach the Major.

VERTEX Esports Club have nothing to fight for, and it doesn’t help that they will face a team that swept them 0-3 in June during ESEA Season 37 Premier Division Australia. Toby “BRACE” Barnes and co. have since played 15 fixtures and won 10, albeit against weaker opponents.

Renegades should win, but the round line is set a bit too high. We don’t expect VERTEX to cause an upset, but they should win at least nine rounds.


Unlike the match on the other side of the bracket, this one promises a close affair. ORDER enter the game as slight favourites, which is fair, but we wouldn’t undervalue LookingForOrg (formerly Dire Wolves).

Before the Australian esports organisation decided to pull the plug on their CS:GO division, Dire Wolves had a streak of 15 wins and only two losses (15-2). It’s also important to note that LookingForOrg won against ORDER (2-0) last Wednesday during DreamHack Open September 2021 Oceania.

These are two equally matched teams, both hungry for a win – ORDER need to win to qualify for the Major, while LookingForOrg have to prove their worth if they wish to get picked up by another organisation. We like L4Org better, but since we expect a close affair, a bet on over 2.5 maps makes more sense at the provided CS:GO betting odds.
