CHAOS ESPORTS CLUB vs MYTHIC CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | Chaos -1000 at BetOnline | Mythic +509 at BetOnline |
| When: | October 7, 2020 at 12:00 PDT |

These teams last met in July during Mythic Invite League Season?1, where Chaos Esports Club picked up a comfortable 2-0 win with 16-6 on Overpass and 16-3 on Nuke. Since late June, Chaos have met Mythic on the battlefield three times and won each encounter convincingly, allowing Mythic to reach double digits on a map only twice.
Even though this is an online tournament, we don’t expect to see any surprises. While the odds offered on Chaos to win 2-0 are relatively short, they still offer great value. Alternatively, a -5.5 round in-play bet on Chaos for the first map is worth considering if the series begins on either Train, Nuke or Mirage.

TEAM LIQUID vs TEAM ONE CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | Liquid -909.09 at BetOnline | oNe +479 at BetOnline |

?These sides last met in August during DreamHack Open Summer 2020 North America, where Team Liquid pocketed a 2-0 win with 16-12 on Dust II and 16-5 on Inferno. Since then, Liquid have won eight out of 14 games while Team oNe have won 10 out of 11.
However, we must note that Liquid have played significantly stronger opponents. While they’ve faced some of the best teams from the region, Team oNe have won most of their games against semi-amateur squads at ESEA Premier Division.
Despite oNe’s strong form, they don’t have the tools to defeat Liquid, nor do we believe they will manage to keep the bout close. A -4.5 round bet on Liquid is the best option regardless of the map.

YELLOW SUBMARINE vs TEAM NIGMA DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | YeS +725 at BetOnline | Nigma -2000 at BetOnline |

?Nigma and Yellow Submarine will clash for the first time in their history this Wednesday in what promises to be a very one-sided bout. The short odds on the favourites offer no value here, nor do the map handicaps, but that does not necessarily mean there are no betting opportunities.
Some esports bookmakers are offering as much as -120.48 on the first map to end in under 33 minutes, which is far too high considering the massive quality gap between the teams.
This will be Nigma’s easiest match since their formation in November 2019. Considering we have seen them run over A-Tier teams before, there is no reason to believe they can’t defeat Yellow Submarine in under 30 minutes.
Total time – under 33 minutes (Map 1)
CYBER LEGACY vs NATUS VINCERE DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | Cyber +232 at BetOnline | NaVi -344.83 at BetOnline |
| When: | October 7, 2020 at 20:00 CEST |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/esl_dota2) |
It’s hard to make sense of Natus Vincere’s recent results. They have managed to defeat the likes of OG (2-1) and Nigma (2-0) yet dropped the ball against VP.Prodigy (1-2), 5men (0-2) and Cyber Legacy (0-2), who they last met at the start of September.
Cyber Legacy have been far more consistent, putting together an impressive 8-2 run. However, their last match was at the start of September when they lost to FlyToMoon (0-2), which suggests the Russians will enter this match a bit ring rusty.
There are some concerns with CL’s lack of competitive gametime, but that does not justify the surprisingly low odds offered on NaVi, who are far too inconsistent for us to believe they can manage a 2-0 sweep. We will take our chances with the underdogs to win at least one map.

INVICTUS GAMING vs LYNN VISION GAMING CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | IG -384.62 at BetOnline | Lynn +238 at BetOnline |
| When: | October 7, 2020 at 16:00 CST |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/funspark_csgo) |
These teams have met 14 times in 2020. While Invictus Gaming emerged as the stronger side in nine of those clashes, we should not ignore Lynn Vision Gaming’s five wins, which include their most recent clash at the start of August.
The latest CS:GO betting odds suggest IG should win comfortably. While that might be the case, Lynn are by no means a bad team. They have won five tournaments since the turn of the year and last month finished third at WDNMD Asia Invitational 2020 – far above IG, who ended in seventh-eighth place.
Lynn have also won four out of their last five games, while IG have managed only two wins from their last five against teams of similar quality. Lynn should not be priced at such high odds, so it makes sense to take a shot with the underdogs.
