DOTA Summit Online 13: SEA

Cignal Ultra (1-5-1) have not impressed this tournament, however, the same can be said for Team Adroit (2-3-1), who won only against TEAM STAR and Army Geniuses. On a more positive note, Adroit forced stalemates against Among Us, 496 Gaming and Neon Esports, which is comparable to Cignal Ultra’s draws with Among Us and BOOM Esports.

We don’t expect any outstanding performances from Cignal Ultra, but since they managed a stalemate against the BTS Pro Series Season 3: Southeast Asia and ESL One Thailand 2020: Asia runners-up (BOOM Esports), they clearly have the quality to make something happen.

In six games played Motivate.Trust Gaming (4-1-1) lost only to TNC Predator but claimed a big scalp on Saturday when they defeated Among Us. MG.Trust were at the time priced at $4.77, which helped us to earn +1.54 units of profit from our esports predictions for Saturday.

MG.Trust won all of their four meetings with Cignal with an 8-1 game differential, which includes a 2-0 sweep at the start of October. On top of the stronger head-to-head record, MG.Trust are also in much better form, but at $1.24 it’s better to explore the first blood market.

Across the lasts six games, MG.Trust achieved a 50% first blood rate (3-3) while Cignal put together a 66.67% FB rate (4-2), albeit against weaker teams. What’s more, Cignal gave up first blood in all of their series except in their last two and the first game against Neon Esports.

LPL Pro 2020 Season 3

Both teams have shown similar form this tournament and while Army Geniuses hold a slightly better record (4-2-0) than Spag and Sons (3-3-0), the Australian side only really underperformed in the opening stages of the tournament. They have since won two in a row (+ a forfeit win).

Army Geniuses should be slightly favoured largely because they forced TNC Predator to a stalemate last week, but at $1.55 they’re overrated. Spag and Sons have shown solid form as of late and at $2.25 they’re worth a shot.

After six weeks of play, Shadownet hold a 2-1-3 record, which is only slightly better than CamboPride’s 1-1-4, yet the esports bookmakers have Shadownet priced as $1.21 favourites over the Cambodian squad. That does not seem fair, considering Shadownet picked up a forfeit win against Mirana Battlefury, whereas Cambo Pride had to defeat the said squad during the first week of the competition.

Cambo Pride did not look too sharp and will likely be in for an uphill battle this Tuesday. Having said that, these low-tier Dota2 games are often a complete coin-toss, so putting a few bucks on the outsiders at $3.43 is not a terrible bet.

Svenska Elitserien 2020 Fall

Sons of Lennart are entering this match with a 5-13 record and -53 round differential (168-221), which does not inspire much confidence. To make matters even worse, two of SoL’s wins came after their opponents forfeited their match, meaning they have only defeated three teams in the span of 18 games (16.7% win rate).

Lilmix did not look as sharp as they perhaps should considering their quality, but they are still 11-3 with +79 (215-136) round differential. Lilmix also kept their opponents at eight or fewer rounds in four out of of their last six Svenska Elitserien bouts, and have last week defeated PACT and x6tence who are both significantly stronger than SoL.

FlyQuest Ready to Kick Off LoL Worlds Campaign

FlyQuest are in China preparing for the 2020 LoL World Championship, with the main event set to commence this weekend in Shanghai. They’ll be looking to build on the success of fellow North American side Team Liquid, who can secure direct qualification from the play-in stage with a win on Monday.

However, FlyQuest will have to do something special to reach the LoL Worlds knockout rounds this year. They are grouped with Korean giants DRX and Chinese powerhouse Top Esports, who are favourites for the title with most League of Legends betting sites.

CS: GO: ESL Pro League Semi-Finals

TYLOO and ViCi Gaming are through to the upper-bracket finals at ESL Pro League Season 12 Asia. The two are the strongest among the four teams that entered the CS:GO event, so we can expect a good fight. Whoever progresses is likely to be up against Invictus Gaming from the lower bracket, which is yet to conclude.

We are siding with the Counter-Strike betting sites on this one and backing TYLOO, as they are on a hot-streak that doesn’t seem to be coming to an end any time soon. ViCi are strong, and they dominate most of their rivals, but they have not beaten TYLOO in 11 encounters since the ESL One Rio Asia Minor Greater China closed qualifier in March of this year.

La Copa 2020 Quarter-Finals

This week we’ll see the top eight teams of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive La Copa 2020 compete for a spot in the semi-finals scheduled next weekend. In the first two matches, Wygers will battle ZEROZONE, and KPI Gaming will take on Exploit Esports.

These matchups are ideal, as each side will be testing the other to push towards a closer step at the finals. In the first best-of-three quarterfinals, ZEROZONE are the likely winners with the odds in their favor among sports betting sites. They’ve shown a lot more consistency than Wyger, who have had some rocky performances.

We’ll have to see how the Wyger’s player mentality is on the day of the encounter. If they come with the power they possess, ZEROZONE will have a tough time through the maps, and we could see a draw.

In the second game, KPI Gaming is the clear favorite among CS: GO fans and sportsbooks. They’ve got a strong squad and have prevailed against Exploit in the past.

Isurus to face Imperial in Tribo To Major

Isurus will be looking to maintain their winning streak over Imperial in their Tribo To Major clash this week. However, it seems the odds are against them, and Imperil will redeem themselves.

Isurus have had a rough time since losing Gabriel “1962” Sinopoli, and Jonathan “JonY BoY” Munoz is still adjusting to the team. If Imperial play this to their advantage, they could break their losing streak against Isurus.

LPL Pro Season 3 continues

Spag and Sons are up against the Australian Gaming Network in Season 3 of the LPL Pro 2020 Dota 2 tournament. They’ll fight it out on the second day of the round-robin stage, where Spag and Sons will look to use their experience to get ahead of AGN.

The two teams have recently had a tough few matches, with AGN losing every game they’ve had. Spag and Sons have also had a rocky start with several draws but beat Shadownet in the Oceanic Esports League.

Dota 2 sportsbooks are against AGN here, as they simply don’t have the experience or strength that Spag and Sons bring to this game.
