CHIEFS ESPORTS CLUB VS TEAM SKYFIRE ESEA S33: PREMIER AUSTRALIA BETTING PREVIEW
Chiefs Esports Club and Team Skyfire will meet during Week 9 of ESEA Season 33: Premier Australia in a rematch of last Saturday’s Asia Minor Championship – Rio 2020: Oceanic Closed Qualifier clash, where Chiefs emerged victorious. They will enter Wednesday’s bout with an impressive 9-3 record next to their name, which puts them in a very favourable spot to secure a playoffs berth.
On February 3, Chiefs signed the entire ex-Geniune Gaming CS:GO roster and with that acquired Hugh “stat” Anderson, Chris “Jinxx” Moseley, Tom “apocdud” Henry, Jordan “SkulL” Newland and Daryl “Mayker” May. Because Chiefs replaced the entire roster mid-season, their placement in the ESEA standings is based on the combined performance of Genuine and the new-look Chiefs from February 3 onwards.
So far this ESEA season, Chiefs have defeated Team Esper, Formidable, MC ESPORTS, FURY, Incept eSports, Paradox Gaming, Ground Zero Gaming, ROCK CANDY and Airborne Esports Club. They failed to see the same success against Trident Esports, ORDER and most recently against Avant Gaming, who bested them during Week 7.
Chiefs recently participated at ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 10, where they defeated Eimi Fukada FC (2-0) and lost to Avant (1-2). Prior to that, Chiefs also made an appearance at the Asia Minor Championship – Rio 2020 Closed Qualifiers, where they were swept by ORDER in the lower bracket finals to finish in third place.

Team Skyfire, owned by Proda Computers, signed the former Bizzare Gaming roster in late January. While fighting under the Bizzare banner, Matt “Mizzy” Webster and co. lost to Renegades on the opening day of the season before claiming three commanding wins over Formidable, Trident and ROCK CANDY.
Since taking on the ex-Bizarre roster, Skyfire have defeated MC ESPORTS, Airborne Esports Club, Incept eSports, PC419 and Team Esper while losing to Madlikewizards, ORDER, FURY and Paradox Gaming. That leaves them with a respectable 8-4 record ahead of Week 9.
Like Chiefs, Skyfire participated at ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 10. They failed to make an noise, however, as a 1-2 defeat against ORDER a 0-2 sweep by Rooster saw Skyfire crash out of the tournament in round one. Skyfire also took a swing at the Asia Minor Championship – Rio 2020 Closed Qualifiers, but a 0-2 quarter-final defeat to ORDER and a 1-2 loss against Chiefs meant they ended the event at the bottom of the standings.
CHIEFS ESPORTS CLUB VS TEAM SKYFIRE ESEA S33: PREMIER AUSTRALIA BETTING PREDICTIONS
Chiefs met with Skyfire on Saturday, March 7, only four days before their upcoming clash at ESEA, which gives us a great insight into how this match will play out.
Their meeting at the Rio Major Asia Minor Oceania Closed Qualifiers ended with a hard-fought 2-1 win for Chiefs, who edged past Skyfire with a 19-17 overtime win on Train. Although Chiefs produced a remarkable comeback from 8-14 down on the final map, it’s concerning that they found themselves in such a situation to begin with.
Skyfire ran away with the first map in that series, with Mayker and company going down 2-16 on Inferno. While it would be hard to argue Chiefs did not deserve to win, their overall performance was rather uninspiring.
Esports bookmakers have Chiefs priced as favourites, but the odds look a little lopsided. On form, it is hard to understand why Skyfire are priced as high as +227.
Considering they put up a solid fight against Chiefs only a few days ago, it’s hard to pass on this opportunity to back the outsider. A +4.5 kills handicap on Team Skyfire at -119.05 is also a viable bet here.
Team Skyfire to win

CHIEFS ESPORTS CLUB VS PARADOX GAMING ESEA S33: PREMIER AUSTRALIA BETTING PREVIEW
Chiefs Esports Club and Paradox Gaming will kick off the last day of Week 5 matches at ESEA Season 33: Premier Division – Australia in what promises to be a thrilling bout between two new-look squads.
After suffering a bitter loss against ORDER in the ESEA S32 finals, Chiefs ESC are ready to make another deep run in a bid to secure their spot at the Global Challenge and a chance to claim their first A-Tier title.
Chiefs have made an excellent start to the season, although they are still some ways short of the undefeated ORDER and their tally of 21 points. Nonetheless, there are still four weeks of play ahead of the Australian CS:GO squads and the dream is still very much alive for Hugh “stat” Anderson and the crew.
Shortly after the season started, Chiefs ESC lost Peter “BL1TZ” Athanasatos and Chris “ofnu” Hanley to Avant Gaming, which ushered a complete roster rebuild. Earlier this month, Chiefs ESC announced the signing of the former Genuine Gaming roster and confirmed the departure of the remainder of their former lineup.
The new-look team featuring stat, Chris “Jinxx” Moseley, Tom “apocdud” Henry, Jordan “SkulL” Newland and Daryl “Mayker” May made their first appearance at the tournament on Tuesday, February 11, when they bested Incept eSports 16-12. Mayker impressed with a +5 KDA and 1.36 rating, while apocdud (-1 KDA, 0.94 rating) was the only Chiefs player who did not register a positive rating.
Paradox Gaming signed a new roster on January 11, when they acquired Andrew “ino” Foster, Luke “ekul” Blakey, Harry “bendonka” Hayes, Luke “1ukey” McMillian and Daniel “urbz” Urbani. All of the players are mostly unknown in the CS:GO esports scene except for urbz, who has made a name for himself in the Australian C-Tier scene by playing for Chiefs, Avant, Trident and SYF Gaming.
Paradox have produced a mixed bag of results so far and sit 10th in the league with a 3-4 record. Their best results of the season came in Week 1, when they bested Ground Zero Gaming 16-9, and Week 3, when they trashed Trident Esports 16-8. In Week 2, urbz and his men also put up a solid fight against ORDER in an 11-16 loss.
Besides the rare occasions when Paradox have shone, the team as a whole has struggled with consistency. Urbz, ekul and ino are all putting up below-average numbers this tournament, while an indifferent display in their 19-16 win over PC419 earlier this month raises some doubts as to whether they can compete with teams like Chiefs.
CHIEFS ESPORTS CLUB VS PARADOX GAMING ESEA MDL S33 AUSTRALIA BETTING PREDICTIONS
When a team rebuilds its entire roster, we tend to see a testing period before the players gel together and start performing up to par with their abilities. In this case, however, Chiefs ESC signed a quintet of players who already have an established synergy. Furthermore, Mayker and co. were no pushovers last season either, as they finished ESEA MDL S32 with a bronze medal.
On the other side, Paradox signed four players who have yet to prove themselves in the professional CS:GO scene. From the looks of it, they will need more time to do so. The main issues we have with Paradox are their inconsistency and their lack of quality. Even their best player, urbz, is mediocre at most, as he has never seen any success outside of C-Tier tournaments.
This is a best-of-one (Bo1) fixture, meaning anything can happen, but we would not count on any upsets. Chiefs ESC are performing well above average and their map pool is significantly better than that of Paradox. The kills line is set at 4.5, which should be within reach for the favourites.
Chiefs ESC -4.5 kills

HELLRAISERS VS NORDAVIND ESEA SEASON 33: PREMIER DIVISION EUROPE BETTING PREVIEW
HellRaisers and Nordavind will meet on the battlefield this Tuesday in Week 1 of the European ESEA Season 33: Premier Division, where we will see 20 CS:GO esports teams duke it out for a ticket to the LAN finals and one of the two spots at the Season 33 Global Challenge.
HellRaisers earned their place at the online tournament by finishing 11th-12th at ESL Pro League Season 10 – Europe back in November, marking their first appearance in an ESEA event since the Ukrainian CS:GO team won the Season 21 Europe Finals in May 2016. A lot has changed in the intervening years, but Kirill “ANGE1” Karasiow is still the in-game leader. He is joined by ?ygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas, Vadim “Flarich” Karetin, Igor “crush” Shevchenko, and Ivan “AiyvaN” Semenets, who arrived in December as a replacement for Alexander “scoobyxie” Marynych.
HellRaisers made a short appearance at the DreamHack Open Leipzig 2020: European Open Qualifier, where they crashed out in round one after suffering a 14-16 loss to Helsinki REDS. In late January, HellRaisers also took a swing at the LEGENDS.BET L33T CUP, where they swept Axis twice and Copenhagen Flames to secure a spot in the playoffs.
Nordavind enter ESEA S33 following a successful run through Europe Minor Championship – Rio 2020 Open Qualifiers #2, where the Norwegian squad defeated NoPlan (16-2), IQFIGHTERS (16-6), FATE Esports (16-8), ex-Virtus.pro (16-8) and PACT (2-1) to book a spot in the next stage of Rio Major qualifiers.
Earlier this month, Ruben “RUBINO” Villarroel and his men also took a swing at the European open qualifiers for the inaugural season of the newly announced FLASHPOINT CS:GO league, but they lost their opening fixture against Team Secret (1-2) and thus crashed out of the event on day one.
The Norwegians saw a fair amount of success in domestic tournaments last year, finishing second at Telialigaen – Spring 2019 and Telialigaen – Fall 2019, third at the UCC Summer Smash and first at both the LOOT.BET Smack My Beach Cup and ESEA Season 32: Advanced Division – Europe.
Unlike HellRaisers, who have made only one change to their roster in 2020, Nordavind have acquired two new members in ex-Gamer Legion rifler Kevin “HS” Tarn and former Heroic AWPer Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassen. The latter also played as a stand-in for mousesports at cs_summit 5, where he claimed his first CS:GO LAN title.
HS arrived at Nordavind as a replacement for Haris “H4RR3” Had?i? and NaToSaphiX took over from H?kon “hallzerk” Fj?rli, who joined former Ninjas in Pyjamas legends at the newly formed Dignitas CS:GO roster.
HELLRAISERS VS NORDAVIND ESEA MDL S33 EUROPE BETTING PREDICTIONS
While we agree that HellRaisers are the stronger team, the odds make us believe esports bookmakers slightly underestimate Nordavind.
These two last met at the GG.Bet Chicago Invitational in June 2019, where the Ukrainian squad won 16-8. Since then Nordavind have acquired two new members and HellRaisers have added three new players to their roster, meaning the previous results don’t hold any weight for this betting prediction.
HellRaisers will enter the match with better form than Nordavind, who have played only a few matches with their new core, but the Scandinavian side’s new-look roster is performing well.
Both sides have the same favourite map, Overpass, where HellRaisers hold a 54% win rate in 13 games. Nordavind have won 71% of their seven games played on the map and are also on a five-game winning streak there. Nordavind have a better record on Inferno (70%-40%) and Nuke (71%-44%), but they are at a heavy disadvantage on Mirage (0%-60%), Train (0%-50%) and Vertigo (25%-80%).
Because this will be a best-of-one (Bo1) bout, we expect the teams to stick to what they know and pick Overpass. For that reason, we believe Nordavind will keep the match to within three rounds and maybe even pinch the win.
Nordavind +3.5 rounds
