FLASHPOINT Season 2
FNATIC vs DIGNITAS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | Fnatic -454.55 at BetOnline | Dignitas +348 at BetOnline |
| When: | December 1, 2020 at 14:00 CET |

?Fnatic and Dignitas last met just under two weeks ago when Adam “friberg” Friberg and his crew won with 16-6 on Dust II and 16-14 on Inferno. Dignitas have not played a single match since then, whereas Fnatic outlasted MAD Lions (2-0) in the next round of the competition.
While it makes sense to see Fnatic priced as the favourites, they are notoriously inconsistent in online fixtures. Considering Dignitas came very close to forcing a three-map series last time out, they should not be priced above +100 to win one map.
Dignitas +1.5 maps
OG vs MIBR CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | OG -200 at BetOnline | MiBR +163 at BetOnline |

?Even though we are not ready to believe the new MiBR are a top-tier team, they made quite a statement with their 2-0 sweep of FaZe Clan at the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown, as well as with their three-map series against BIG (twice) and G2 Esports earlier this month. OG, meanwhile, have managed a 3-2 record in their last five outings, defeating Cloud9 (2-0), Gen.G (2-0) and Virtus.pro (2-1) but losing to Gen.G (0-2) and Team Spirit (0-2).
While these teams have similar form lines, MiBR have had to play against much stronger sides and look severely overpriced at +163 in the match betting.

DreamHack Masters Winter 2020: Europe
G2 ESPORTS vs SPROUT CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | G2 -434.78 at BetOnline | Sprout +294 at BetOnline |
| When: | December 1, 2020 at 13:00 CET |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dreamhackcs) |
?G2 Esports and Sprout have both lost only two games in their last five. While G2 had to play tougher opponents, they also dropped maps against mousesports (2-1), North (2-1) and Ninjas in Pyjamas (1-2) – all arguably at the same level as Sprout.
G2 might field one of the most stacked rosters in Europe, but they are not nearly as consistent as they should be. Due to their frequent slip-ups, we believe this match could be much closer than what the latest CS:GO betting odds suggest.
Sprout +1.5 maps
EPIC League Division 2
CYBERIUM vs GAMBIT ESPORTS DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | Cyberium +222 at BetOnline | Gambit -312.5 at BetOnline |
| When: | December 1, 2020 at 10:00 CET |

?Despite numerous roster changes, Cyberium have yet to find their footing and only seem to do well against teams that are either weak, out of form, or dealing with internal issues. Gambit Esports produced far more consistent results early in the tournament but have since cooled down, dropping the ball against Team Empire (0-2) last Friday.
The biggest issue with Gambit is their tendency to drop maps. They have lost at least one map in all but one of their last nine fixtures, including a 2-1 win against Cyberium at the EPIC League qualifiers. While they’re the most likely victors, we can’t trust Gambit to walk away with a clean sweep.
Cyberium +1.5 maps
SPIDER PIGZS vs YELLOW SUBMARINE DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | SPigs +259 at BetOnline | YeS -384.62 at BetOnline |
| When: | December 1, 2020 at 13:00 CET |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/team/epicenter) |
?Yellow Submarine enter the final two rounds of the EPIC League with no defeats and a 14-1 map differential, whereas Spider Pigzs have managed only three wins and a 10-7 map differential.
Spider Pigzs have also lost three out of their last four fixtures, going down to Gambit Esports (1-2), Live to Win (1-2) and Ninjas in Pyjamas (0-2). They beat Cyberium (2-1) on Saturday, but that means little when Cyberium were already certain to finish outside the top six.
Esports bookmakers have Yellow Submarine as the favourites for good reason, but it still feels like the odds for the -1.5 handicap are a bit too generous.
