Team Vitality enter the first Premier CS:GO event of the year as the second-favourite to lift the trophy, which we can’t argue with. The French squad have been phenomenal throughout 2020 and are also the only team in the scene that not only fields a six-man roster but also know how to use it.
Complexity’s chances to make it far this tournament are very slim. They are arguably the weakest team at the tournament to begin with and will also miss their star AWPer Valentin “poizon” Vasilev who will get replaced by Jakob “JUGi” Hansen.
Since this is the first tournament after the break, there is a world where Vitality underperform, but the same holds true for Complexity. Anything less than a 2-0 sweep for Vitality will be a massive disappointment.

Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo will make his debut for Team Liquid on Wednesday as their new AWPer and in-game leader when the North American squad clash with Natus Vincere. By acquiring FalleN, Liquid have gained exactly what they lacked, making them a very exciting team to follow in 2021, however, we don’t expect any phenomenal performances early on.
The Brazilian CSGO superstar will need a couple of weeks to gel with his new teammates and introduce his style of play, so it’s reasonable to see Liquid priced as underdogs for this match. Having said that, NaVi are notorious for their shaky performances early into tournaments, which leads us to believe this match won’t be as one-sided as the betting odds suggest.
Team Liquid to win one map at 1.58 with the top betting sites is an excellent bet at a good price. We would, however, avoid a moneyline bet for this one, since NaVi are still a stronger team and should win more times than not.
