Bizarre Gaming enter this match off a 2-0 sweep of Exsto Gaming, who they beat with 16-9 on Nuke and 19-16 on Overpass. Jordan “SkulL” Newland and co. have also not disappointed with their results at ESL ANZ Champs Season 12, where they picked up a 16-6 win over Memento Esports and put up a decent fight against R!OT Gaming (12-16).
It’s no surprise seeing CS:GO betting sites price Dire Wolves as heavy favourites for this match. They might not be the best team in the region, but they are looking near-unstoppable on current form.
Wolves are 4-1 since the start of March and have only really lost against the top teams such as Paradox, Renegades and ORDER across the last five months. While anything can happen in these online matches, the quality gap is far too large for us to side with the underdogs.
Dire Wolves -5.5 rounds (Map 1)

Like the other fixture, this one seems like it can only end one way. That said, this could prove to be the best series of the day if R!OT Gaming can recreate what they showed when they took on Paradox Gaming just over three weeks back at ESEA Season 36: Premier Division – Australia.
That clash was billed as an extremely one-sided affair, yet it proved to be anything but. R!OT stood their ground against a significantly stronger opponent and managed to win on Vertigo (19-17), which was quite an achievement, although they ended up suffering a reverse sweep with 8-16 on Train and 10-16 on Dust II.
R!OT lack big-name players, but they’ve been playing very well of late, which is largely due to their firepower. Paradox are a more strategic team, which could prove beneficial on some maps, but we don’t expect them to see the same level of success on all map picks.
Paradox should win this match more times than not, but we have seen enough good things from R!OT to believe they can steal one map. Given the odds, we would even consider placing a smaller bet on R!OT to win the match outright.
