]]>The post Mousesports sweep ENCE to win CS:GO Asia Championships appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>It was a final nobody expected but everyone wanted to see, featuring two underdogs who paved their way through the tournament one game at the time. That’s not to say it was an easy road for either of them, as they both hit their fare share of potholes along the way.
SEE ALSO: COUNTER-STRIKE BETTING SITES
ENCE and mousesports started their road to the finals in Group B, where the Finns edging past mouz in a closely contested winners’ match to reach the semi-finals. That left the losing side to take the longer route through the lower bracket.
That did not stop mouz, who produced a massive upset to beat Evil Geniuses 2-0 and then delivered a reverse sweep against TYLOO in the semi-finals. ENCE, meanwhile, claimed a comfortable 2-1 win over MiBR to set up a tantalising bout in the decider.
Mousesports decided to veto Mirage, which forced ENCE to pick Train as the map to start the series. That proved pivotal, as ENCE were unable to dictate the tempo like they did when the two teams met in the group stage. The first nine rounds went back and forth until mouz picked up the tempo, won five in a row and took a 9-6 lead into the break.
The second half continued in a similar fashion. While ENCE managed to close the gap in the opening three rounds, mouz responded with a dominant 7-1 run to close out the first map of the series in only 26 rounds played.
The next map on the schedule was the mouz-picked Inferno. Despite having a very poor 12.5% win rate there, ENCE impressed with a dominant 5-0 run to start the second map of the series. Mouz hit back with force, however, winning eight consecutive maps to steal the lead. ENCE dusted themselves off and won the last two rounds of the first half to the leave the score at 7-8 at the interval.
The second half was almost a complete recreation of the first. ENCE once again started strong and won the opening four rounds but went on to lose all the remaining eight as Finn “karrigan” Andersen and co. clinched a 2-0 series win.
Mousesports’ AWP-er ?zgür “woxic” Eker also clinched his career-first MVP award. He was an instrumental factor for his team and finished the tournament as the fifth-ranked player with a +1.00 HLTV rating average.

]]>TYLOO vs MiBR
Thursday, November 21- 11:00 CST
Home favourites TYLOO ($3.16) will lock horns with MiBR ($1.35) in the Group A winners’ match, which promises to be a thrilling bout with direct promotion to the semi-finals on the line.
TYLOO went above and beyond all expectations when they defeated G2 Esports 2-0 in the opening game of the group stage, which ranks among the biggest upsets in the recent history of CS:GO esports.
Talking about teams producing upsets, we cannot overlook MiBR and their stunning clean sweep of the pre-tournament favourites, Evil Geniuses.
MiBR are the stronger team and should get the win, but we cannot underestimate TYLOO after their display against G2. There is decent money on offer for the underdogs to claim at least one map.
Prediction: TYLOO +1.5 at $1.71 with GG Bet
G2 Esports vs Evil Geniuses
Thursday, November 21- 14:00 CST
After disappointing displays their respective openers, G2 ($2.99) and EG ($1.38) have found themselves in a do-or-die position.
What exactly went wrong in G2’s defeat against TYLOO and EG’s shock loss to MiBR is anyone’s guess, but we will give them the benefit of the doubt and say both teams simply had a bad day.

The odds provided by esports bookmakers make it easy to figure out how the balance of power is distributed in this matchup. Not only are EG sitting 11 spots higher than G2 in the CS:GO global power rankings, they also hold a 2-1 record against G2 in their last three meetings.
There is a level of uncertainty around both sides after their poor starts, but the pressure to perform and justify their favourites tag should bring the best out of EG.
Prediction: EG -1.5 at $2.22 with GG Bet
ENCE vs mousesports
Thursday, November 21 – 17:00 CST
There were no surprises in the opening games of Group B, where we saw ENCE ($2.54) and mousesports ($1.50) produce cleans sweeps against ViCi and AVANGAR respectively.
Despite ENCE’s dominant win over ViCi, the Finnish roster failed to convince us they are as strong as they are portrayed to be. Aleksi “allu” Jalli has not yet proven he is a capable IGL and Miikka “suNny” Kemppi’s 1.01 HLTV rating leaves a lot to be desired.
While we can’t talk about mousesports as one of the best teams in the world, they at least have a solid roster, which works like a well-oiled machine. A lot of credit for that goes to Finn “karrigan” Andersen, who is an exceptional IGL and whose presence alone is enough to make us believe mousesports are the superior team here.
Prediction: mousesports to win – $1.50 at GG Bet
ViCi Gaming vs AVANGAR
Thursday, November 21 – 20:00 CST
With only one place left in the playoffs, this bout will put everything on the line for ViCi Gaming ($3.00) and AVANGAR ($1.36).
Both teams lost their opening fixtures of the tournament against far superior opponents. ViCi are the weakest team in the field and should bow out in straight sets, but the question is whether or not they can snatch a map off AVANGAR.
AVANGAR are without a doubt a stronger team in terms of individual quality, but their inconsistency casts doubt over their ability to deliver a clean sweep. Maybe we are pushing our luck, but the odds on the game to go to three maps are too good to ignore.
Prediction: Over 2.5 maps – $2.20 at GG Bet

]]>The tournament will start with the group stage, where the teams will be divided into two double-elimination (GSL) groups with all fixtures played as best-of-three (Bo3) series. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, whereas the second- and third-placed teams will earn a spot in the quarter-finals.
Playoffs will begin on Saturday, November 23 and conclude a day later with the grand finals. Just like in the group stage, a Bo3 format will be used for all playoffs bouts, including the finals.
Now let’s look over the latest betting odds and give our predictions for the 2019 CS:GO Asia Championship.
ViCi Gaming
$120.00 at GG Bet
ViCi Gaming earned their spot at the tournament via Chinese qualifiers, which took place at the start of November. There, ViCi looked fairly strong and while they lost to EHOME (0-2) in the upper bracket finals, they managed to get their revenge against the same team in the grand finals (3-1). ViCi are the second-best team from the Chinese region, which is a praiseworthy achievement, but they do not stack up with the elite teams in the field and the odds reflect that.
TYLOO
$90.00 at GG Bet
TYLOO will enter the tournament fresh after their perfect 6-0 run at the ESL Pro League Asian qualifiers, which indicates the Chinese outfit arrives at the Jing’an Sports Center in great form. Unfortunately, even strong form and home crowd advantage won’t be enough for TYLOO to match it with the likes of G2 Esports, mousesports and Evil Geniuses.
AVANGAR
$9.00 at GG Bet
Most esports betting sites have AVANGAR slated at the longest odds among the realistic contenders, which might come as a surprise to some after the Kazakhstani organization made it to the finals of the StarLadder Berlin Major and went on to win BLAST Pro Series Moscow barely two months ago. AVANGAR’s form has faltered since, however, and they are now looking more like a second-tier team. They might produce an upset win or two, but winning the whole tournament is very unlikely.
MiBR
$8.00 at GG Bet
The only South American representatives will hope they can relight their fire, which died out over a year ago after they won their last tournament. While MiBR look strong on paper due to the individual quality of their members, the Brazilians lack the synergy that would help them translate that quality into solid results.
ENCE
$8.00 at GG Bet
Esports bookmakers have priced ENCE close to MiBR, and we believe that is fair when you factor in their recent results. The Finns head to China in terrible shape and look unlikely to challenge the top three contenders for the title.
G2 Esports
$5.00 at GG Bet
G2 Esports boast a lot of potential, which might be enough to carry them to the finals. They have endured some iffy displays since the arrival of Nemanja “huNter-“Kova? and Nemanja “nexa” Isakovi?, but performances are rapidly improving and it is only a matter of time before we see G2 among the top five CS:GO teams in the world. If everything falls into place, this emerging European roster could do some damage in China.
mousesports
$4.00 at GG Bet
Several online bookmakers have mousesports priced as second favourites, but do they deserve that tag? While they are a team on the rise, mouz’s crippling inconsistency has been on full display in recent weeks. They have the potential to become one of the strongest EU teams, but their recent efforts suggest they are a long way off that standard.
Evil Geniuses
$2.70 at GG Bet
There is no denying Evil Geniuses are the strongest team at the tournament. Since their rise to the top with the ESL One New York 2019 win against Astralis, EG have become one of the most feared teams in the CS:GO pro scene. They have some of the best players in the industry and can defeat anyone on their day. If EG can avoid dropping the ball as they did in IEM Beijing, it will take something special to stop them.
Prediction: Evil Geniuses to win

Dota 2 Asia Championships betting predictions
Mineski vs. paiN Gaming
After their 2nd place finish at StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 3 and 1st place finish at PGL Open Bucharest, Mineski’s results dropped like a rock and the team disappeared from the spotlight for a few months. Then it resurfaced with top 4 finishes at two other Minors (StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 4 and Captains Draft 4.0) but in the last 2 months, Mineski has had a disappointing run.
Still, in spite of all this, the Southeast Asian team is much stronger and has a much better record in Dota Pro Circuit events than paiN Gaming, who always seems to get eliminated first, no matter what the tournament is. The South Americans’ only remarkable result this season was their 2nd place finish at World Electronic Sports Games. However, that kind of performance is irrelevant when considering Dota Pro Circuit events, simply because WESG did not bring together the typical world class Dota 2 teams, but rather a bunch of made-up teams. That’s because of the tournament’s fundamental rule: only teams with players of just one nationality were allowed to enter the event.
Odds analysis: Bovada puts the odds at -275 / +180 or around 1.36 – 2.80 in favor of Mineski and at these odds, a bet on Mineski is definitely worthwhile.
Best bet: Mineski to win $1.36 with GG Bet
OG vs. Keen Gaming
With just two notable results in the last 6 months (5th-6th place at ESL One Hamburg 2017 and 5th-8th place at World Electronic Sports Games), Keen Gaming is an outsider to the world of big Dota and has a mountain to climb if it wants to be competitive against most opponents in this tournament.
OG is not exactly in good shape right now. In fact, quite the opposite. However, the Europeans still have a lot more experience and much better results over the past 6 months, which indicates that they’re more likely to win this match against Keen Gaming.
Odds analysis: Bovada puts the odds at -200 / +135 or around 1.50 – 2.35 in favor of OG and the reason why these odds are so high on OG’s side is because they recently said farewell to their carry player, Resolut1on, after a series of poor results. At these odds, betting on OG would be a a wise decision.
Best bet: OG to win $1.50 with GG Bet
TNC Pro Team vs. OpTic Gaming
Both of these teams had a number of notable results this season. TNC won China Top 2017, placed second at MDL Macau and had three other LAN event participations: Galaxy Battles II: Emerging Worlds (5th – 6th), ESL One Genting 2018 (9th – 12th), and The Bucharest Major (5th – 8th). OpTic, on the other hand, took part in five tournaments: Midas Mode – North America (1st), ROG MASTERS 2017 (2nd), DOTA Summit 8 (6th-7th), ESL One Katowice 2018 (9th-12th), The Bucharest Major (5th-8th).
The last direct match between these two teams (at The Bucharest Major) was won by TNC. The Southeast Asian team is considered to be the favorite this time again, although OpTic Gaming has shown obvious signs of strength recently, by defeating Evil Geniuses (the GESC: Indonesia champions) in the NA qualifiers for MDL Changsha.
Odds analysis: Bovada puts the odds at -160 / +110 or around 1.63 – 2.10 in favor of TNC, but the chance of an upset is very high. As a result, betting on the underdog would probably be a better idea.
Best bet: OpTic Gaming to win $2.10 with GG Bet
