Starladder Starseries

Today's Date: 17th December
Need to get back into the habit of writing predictions

ENVYUS vs ex-TSM (Team ?)
Tournament: Starladder Starseries Semi-Final
Maps: BO3 TBA

ENVYUS looks quite strong coming into this match after a month of shakey results. They were however recently upset by Natus Vincere losing 2-0; on Dust 2 16-9 and Cobble 22-18. But they did recently win against Fnatic in convincing fashion 2-0; on Cobble 16-11 and Inferno 16-6.

ex-TSM look average coming into this match. They recently lost against Fnatic 2-0; on Inferno 16-12 and Mirage 16-14. But they recently won against Natus Vincere 2-0 on Train 16-14 and Inferno 16-13.

Personal Opinion: Both teams will be trying to win the prize money of this tournament. I feel that despite the results of ENVYUS last month, they have proven in their recent Fnatic match they are back in form.
Betting Advice: Low ENVYUS or skip
Lounge Odds: 55-45 in favour of ENVYUS

Have a very safe day!

Acer Predator Masers Powered by Intel

Today Date: 9th December

Brief Update Summary: Added new Revolver Case and Revolver for Desert Eagle Loadout Slot. Inaccuracy on Pistols and adjusted recovery time on AK-47, M4A1-S and M4A4.

Mouz vs Hellraisers
Tournament: Acer Predator Masters
Maps: BO2 TBA

Mouz have lately been consistent in matches against T1 and high T2 teams. Mouz recently won against CS:GL 2-0; winning on Mirage 21-19 and Cache 21-15. They also recently drawed against LDLC White; losing the first map 16-14 on Dust 2 but winning on Dust 2 the second time round 16-6.

Hellraisers are notably known for their inconsistency. Hellraisers recently lost against the new Dignitas lineup 2-0; losing on Overpass 16-9 and Mirage 16-4. However they did win against Virtus Pro 2-1 at CS:GO Champions League; winning 21-17 on Mirage and Cache 16-10 but losing on Overpass 16-14.

Personal Opinion: This match will most likely end up as a draw. However, I'm confident that Mouz will be able to win one of the two maps.
Betting Advice: Low Mouz or skip
Lounge Odds: 62-38 in favour of Mouz

Have a very safe day!

Northern Arena

Mr. Finch — Sat, 05 Dec 2015 10:21:25 +0000

Today's Date: 5th December

CLG vs 3sUP
Tournament: Northern Arena
Maps: BO1 TBA

CLG's recent performance has been inconsistent. They recently lost to G2 2-0 at IEM San Jose; losing 16-7 on Cache 16-7 and Mirage 19-17 and also lost to Conquest 16-13 and also lost to Conquest 16-13 on Inferno at ESL ESEA Pro League. In this match, LILMAN (who I think was a CS 1.6 player) will stand in for hazed in this match.

3sUP recently lost against Luminosity 2-0; losing 16-13 on Train and 16-3 on Cobble but they also won against Winterfox 16-7 on Dust2. 3sUP has been relatively quiet since their roster change.

Personal Opinion: High Risk, high chance of upset. If odds go below 40 for underdog (3sUP), I recommend placing a small ICB on them.
Betting Advice: ICB 3sUP or recommended skip
Lounge Odds: 55-45 in favour of CLG

Have a very safe day!

Fragbite Masters

Today's Date: 4th December
Sorry for the lack of predictions lately.

Fnatic vs ex-TSM
Tournament: Fragbite Masters Seson 5
Maps: BO3 (Upper Semi Final Bracket)

Fnatic look consistent coming into this match. Despite Dennis being signed on recently to Fnatic, he has adapted quickly into the team. They recently won against Luminosity 2-0; on Inferno 16-7 and Cobble 16-11 and Virtus Pro 2-1; winning on Cache 16-9 and Inferno 16-10 but losing on Mirage 16-11.

If you haven't heard already, Team Solo Mid has disbanded with their CS:GO team. In recent weeks, the relationship between TSM and their players had broken down, espicially after the dismissal of their team manager. They are now player under the name '?' untill they find a new organisation. ex-TSM's recent performance was a loss against G2 2-0; losing on Inferno 16-14 and Mirage 16-10 and a win against DenDD 2-1; winning on Cache 16-9 and Overpass 19-16 but losing on Inferno 16-11.

Personal Opinion: ex-TSM will now be looking for a new organisation to sponser them, this means they will be attempting to impress organisations to sponser them. However, I've been impressed by Fnatic's performance recently. I believe Fnatic will win this match, however a small bet on TSM wouldn't hurt.
Betting Advice: Low Fnatic or skip
Lounge Odds: 63-37 in favour of Fnatic

Have a very safe day!

I did write the predictions in depth but the power went out, so I had to start again. = /

London Conspiracy vs No Problem
Tournament: 99Damage Arena
Maps: BO3 TBA
Personal Opinion: London Conspiracy has just been performing better and against higher skilled teams than No Problem. London Conspiracy should win this.
Betting Advice: Low London Conspiracy or skip
Lounge Odds: 69-31 in favour of London Conspiracy

LDLC White vs PENTA
Tournament: Game Show Global eSports Cup
Maps: BO3 TBA
Personal Opinion: After analysing the results, PENTA hasn't been playing consistently and been losing to teams that are lower in skill. LDLC White could possibly win this.
Betting Advice: Low LDLC White or skip
Lounge Odds: 59-41 in favour of LDLC White

Dignitas vs Gamers2
Tournament: SL i-League StarSeries XIV
Maps: BO3 TBA

Dignitas recently has a change of lineup after two members of their team left. Their two new members to replace them are k0nfig and RUBINO. Dignitas' tenzki is also away for this game, his stand in in zonic. Dignitas' recent results has been a win against PENTA 16-10 on Dust2 but a loss against Titan 16-13 on Overpass.

Gamers2 performed outstandingly at DreamHack Open Cluj Napoca. They won against T1 teams such as TSM, Virtus Pro and put up an amazing fight against ENVYUS in the Semi-Final at Cluj Napoca. Since then, they have a change in lineup, after dennis left Gamers2, they have signed on aizy from Dignitas. They will also be playing with a stand in for rain as he is unavailable. Gamers 2's recent results at IEM San Jose was a loss against TSM 2-1; losing on Miage 16-6 and Overpass 16-7, but winning on Cache 16-5. However they won against CLG 2-0; on Cache 16-7 and Mirage 19-17.

Personal Opinion: Both teams have stand ins make this a risky game. Dignitas might be able to upset. However, Gamers2 should win this match.
Betting Advice: Low Gamers2 or skip due to stand ins
Lounge Odds: 67-33 in favour of Gamers2

Have a very safe day!
