G2 ESPORTS vs NATUS VINCERE CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| CS:GO Betting Odds: | G2 -105.26 at BetOnline | NaVi -113.64 at BetOnline |

?G2 Esports enter this match following a very unconvincing performance against AGO (1-2) on Thursday. After G2 lost the opening map 14-16, they struck back on Nuke (16-4) and even managed a 10-5 lead on Vertigo but failed to seal the deal and eventually lost 17-19 in overtime.
Despite their humiliating loss, G2 can still defeat Natus Vincere since there is not a lot to separate these two squads in terms of overall quality. While either side can win, we don’t expect to see a clean sweep.

| CS:GO Betting Odds: | BIG -175.44 at BetOnline | ENCE +146 at BetOnline |

In their six games so far this campaign, ENCE lost to GODSENT (1-2) and OG (1-2) but had no issues defeating the likes of Heroic (2-1), Natus Vincere (2-0) and G2 Esports (2-0). BIG also have a 4-2 record and enter this clash on a two-game winning streak after they took down G2 (2-1) and GODSENT (2-1) on Saturday and Wednesday respectively.
Even though BIG have looked the stronger side, it would be foolish to write off ENCE. The Finns slipped against OG on Wednesday, but they’re still playing very solid CS:GO and should prove to be a worthy opponent for the Germans. We like the odds about the underdogs.

| CS:GO Betting Odds: | GODSENT -217.39 at BetOnline | AGO +179 at BetOnline |

Since AGO and GODSENT are already eliminated from the competition, we can expect an open match with more emphasis on scoring. Both teams have had their flashes of greatness – AGO defeated Heroic (2-1) and G2 (2-1), while GODSENT took down ENCE (2-1) – but neither have looked particularly strong overall.
There is not a lot to separate these two teams, which is why we expect a close bout with all three maps played. Since GODSENT have looked slightly less consistent, we like the +1.5 handicap on AGO better.

FURIA vs GEN.G CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | FURIA -370.37 at BetOnline | Gen.G +250 at BetOnline |

It’s difficult not to be impressed with FURIA’s performances this tournament. They have yet to lose a single game out of four, dropping only one map out of nine played.
FURIA’s best showing came on Wednesday when they humiliated Evil Geniuses with 16-8 on Nuke and 16-14 on Inferno, which solidified them as the strongest team in the field and the favourites to hoist the trophy.
Gen.G will be eager to prove their worth, but we have a hard time believing they can match FURIA. Unless Hansel “BnTeT” Ferdinand has one of his pop-off games, his team will struggle to win a single map.

TEAM UNIQUE vs MUDGOLEMS DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | Unique +387 at BetOnline | Draw +106 | mudgolems +145 |

Team Unique and mudgolems have put up comparable results in the BTS Pro Series, but it’s hard to look past the latter side’s superior individual quality. And while Unique have played well against weaker teams such as B8 and Team Empire, Stanislav “633” Glushan have looked far less convincing against stronger sides.
The only real issue we have with mudgolems is their questionable synergy, but since they have already defeated 5men and Ninjas in Pyjamas, they should have no problems with Unique.

FNATIC vs BOOM ESPORTS 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | Fnatic +286 at BetOnline | Draw +112 | BOOM +170 |
| When: | September 19, 2020 at 14:00 SGT |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/beyondthesummit) |
Fnatic and BOOM Esports met 13 times in 2020 and split their meetings 5-3-5. The head-to-head record suggests we are in for another close encounter.
Nevertheless, we are leaning more towards BOOM Esports, mainly due to Fnatic’s visible struggles through the BTS Pro Series. Fnatic are anchored at the bottom of the standings with a 0-1-3 record which includes a 1-1 draw against 032 on Thursday, where Djardel “DJ” Mampusti put up one of the worst performances of the tournament.
As if Fnatic’s poor showings weren’t enough, their loss on the second map against 032 with a 1-27 kill score only further confirms they will struggle against BOOM this weekend.

EXECRATION vs NEON ESPORTS 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | Execration +321 at BetOnline | Draw +120 | Neon +145 |
| When: | September 19, 2020 at 16:00 SGT |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/beyondthesummit) |
The betting odds heavily favour Neon Esports, but the $4.21 offered on Execration is way too high. While Neon have won 10 and drawn two out of their 14 meetings with Execration, the head-to-head record across the last three games shows 1-1-1.
Execration defeated Neon (2-0) just under a month ago in the OMEGA League. Since Neon have not looked too sharp across the last six games (1-3-2), we have no issues siding with the underdogs for a chance at a generous payout.

NRG ESPORTS vs JAMAL JABARY BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| RLCS Betting Odds: | NRG -2000 at BetOnline | JJ +746 at BetOnline |

NRG Esports are one of the strongest Rocket League teams in the world at the moment, so it’s not hard to understand why they’re priced as heavy favourites over Jamal Jabary, who are nothing more than a fairly successful C-Tier team.
Jamal Jabary have seen their fair share of success this year with three C-Tier tournament titles since May, although they struggled to show up during RLCS Season X Fall NA Regional Event 1, where they finished 15th-16th after losing to The Peeps (2-3), Alpine Esports (1-3) and Charlotte Phoenix (2-3).
On paper, this is one of the most one-sided fixtures of the day. Even though upsets are not uncommon in RLCS, it’s hard to bet against an NRG side who are 10-3 since the start of the month and rarely lose to teams outside of the elite few.
