Perfect World Major Americas RMR betting picks – November 12

The Perfect World Major Americas RMR begins on Tuesday, November 12, with 16 teams vying for seven spots in the upcoming Shanghai Major. Check out our Counter-Strike betting predictions for all eight fixtures in Round 1, with esports odds courtesy of top bookmakers in United States.

FURIA Esports are one of the leading candidates to qualify for the Shanghai Major. They looked excellent at Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 last month, with wins against FaZe Clan, MOUZ, and Natus Vincere, although it is not uncommon to see FURIA have promising tournament runs only to fall apart shortly after.

Legacy have not accomplished anything nearly as impressive in top-tier events this season, and they did not make it very far in their most recent competitive endeavour at ESL Challenger Katowice 2024. However, Legacy showed a pulse at Thunderpick World Championship 2024 and know their opponents well.

Team Liquid had a rough run through Intel Extreme Masters Rio and BLAST Premier World Final 2024, going 1-4 across the two tournaments. North America’s No.1 side have since not played a match, but the long break might be what they needed to get back on track.

Despite Liquid’s shaky showings last month, they are the superior team in this contest. Wildcard are 0-3 down in the head-to-head standings, and their performances at ESL Challenger League Season 48 North America last month are reason enough to doubt their chances of winning on Tuesday.

Complexity are expected to cruise through the Perfect World Major Americas RMR, priced at -250 on the outright markets with the best Counter-Strike betting sites. But it is tough to make a strong case for a team who have played just three series since the start of October.

BESTIA have not been too active lately, but they performed well at Thunderpick World Championship 2024 two weeks ago, when they defeated M80 twice and added a competitive 1-2 loss against 3DMAX.

Complexity are rusty and one of the more inconsistent teams in the region. At the offered betting odds, BESTIA are an excellent outsider pick.

PaiN Gaming have proven their worth in the latter half of the 2024 season. They played competitive games against the world’s elite teams at Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 and added a semifinal run at ESL Challenger Katowice 2024 at the end of October.

Nouns Esports’ only accomplishments have come in C-Tier events. Their early exits from CCT Season 2 North American Series #3 and ESL Challenger League Season 48 North America are better indications of how they might do in the RMR.

Don’t expect any surprises on Tuesday. PaiN Gaming should roll over Nouns.

9z Team lost to RED Canids twice in May and June, but they are expected to do well on Tuesday. The Brazilians have had a chance to get ready by playing tougher opponents at IEM Rio 2024, Elisa Masters Espoo 2024, and Thunderpick World Championship 2024, although they went 1-6 over those three events.

RED Canids have not appeared in any top-tier tournaments since ESL Pro League Season 20 and have been inconsistent at ESL Challenger League Season 48 South America. However, they have picked up a few wins and are worth a look for this series at plus money.

Priced at +294 with esports bookmakers, BOSS might have some followers simply because they beat M80 once last month during ESL Challenger League Season 48 North America. But as M80’s 13-1 victory in the rematch suggests, that result was nothing more than a fluke.

M80 will not make the same mistake on Tuesday and let Ancient slip through the ban phase. That would leave BOSS with only Mirage, where they are not too effective.

MiBR will face off against KRU Esports for the first time since ESL Challenger League Season 48 South America in October, when they won with 13-11 on Ancient and 13-2 on Nuke. According to the latest betting odds, the Brazilian squad should be just as successful on Tuesday.

While MiBR have a higher ceiling than KRU, they are rusty, so it is hard to justify betting on them at this number. Take KRU at the round handicap.

This should be the most one-sided game of the opening round of the Perfect World Major Americas RMR, and the odds at BetOnline reflect that.

Imperial Esports have not looked the greatest in October, finishing fifth-sixth at ESL Challenger League Season 48 South America and fifth-eighth at Thunderpick World Championship 2024. But they have accomplished a lot more than Case Esports this season.

With a more experienced lineup and a substantially better win rate on all maps except for Ancient, Imperial Esports should stomp South America’s 13th-ranked team.
