Losing Timur “FL4MUS” Maryev to GamerLegion in May has not affected Nemiga Gaming too much. However, while they found some success with wins in RES European Series #5 and HellCup #10 earlier this summer, they have not looked great lately.

SINNERS Esports are in a similar spot. After some promising results in July and August, they have struggled to leave a lasting mark in their most recent competitive endeavours.

That said, Sebastian “beastik” Daňo and co. have a positive win rate on six of seven maps, including better than 60% on Vertigo, Mirage, and Inferno. Nemiga can only match that rate on Mirage and Anubis.

At plus money with the best esports betting sites, SINNERS are the obvious choice.

These teams last met during ESL Challenger League Season 48 Europe at the end of July, when Monte won in two maps. The Ukrainian-Polish squad are 1-4 from their last five outings, however, with losses against GamerLegion, PARIVISION, BetBoom Team, and Nemiga Gaming.

EYEBALLERS hold the same record, with defeats against Zero Tenacity, Into the Breach, ECSTATIC, and ex-Qiang. As such, it is hard to see how the top Counter-Strike bookmakers have these teams so far apart in the match betting.

EYEBALLERS parted ways with Peppe “Peppzor” Borak and Maikil “Golden” Selim at the start of the month, which could explain the longer odds. However, Jonathan “delle” Ahistedt and Sebastian “dex” Samuelsson have proved to be solid additions.

Monte deserve to be viewed as favourites, but -294.12 is very short for a team in ordinary form, so we have to take EYEBALLERS to keep it close.

B8 won their previous YaLLa Compass 2024 Summer fixture against BLEED Esports — who had to field two stand-ins — yet dropped 21 total rounds, needing overtime to win on Anubis. Since then, B8 have played seven games and won all but two, against TSM and 9Pandas, so they are in solid form.

AMKAL Esports have not played a single match since winning their second-round fixture against Passion UA on September 3. With that win, AMKAL are 3-7 from their last 10 outings, with a few concerning losses against Insilo, Young Ninjas, and B8, who bested them during Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024: European Open Qualifier #2.

While there is no significant quality difference between the two lineups, AMKAL Esports’ form does not inspire much confidence. Nor does their map pool, with positive win rates on just Vertigo and Inferno. At -169.49, B8 are an easy choice.

Nemiga Gaming and Monte will face off for the first time since 2022, and according to the top Counter-Strike betting sites, it should be a close affair.

Monte are 1-4 from their last five outings, beating SINNERS Esports but losing close games to BetBoom Team and GamerLegion. Nemiga Gaming are 2-3 over the same stretch, with wins against Sashi Esports and Permitta.

In terms of map pools, there is not much to set the teams apart. Nemiga have a better win rate on Anubis and Mirage but worse on Vertigo and Nuke, which they generally don’t play. This looks to be a three-map series.

G2 Esports is one of a handful of teams that should expect to make the playoffs, and in doing so, the world number five should get their campaign off to a good start with a comprehensive win over 9z.

Team Liquid and Heroic will be one of the best matches of the opening round of the group stage, as Casper “cadiaN” Moller will take on his old side for the first time since making the move to Liquid. Expect a tight contest here.

Lynn Vision got the better of FURIA in the opening stage of PGL Major Copenhagen in a best-of-one series and it is very hard to tip against the Chinese team here, who will be playing in their home country.

There are 126 rankings between MOUZ and TYLOO going into this clash and that is why MOUZ is so short with Counter-Strike 2 betting sites. MOUZ should be kicking off their IEM Chengdu campaign with a good win.

Although FlyQuest puts their eight-game win streak on the line at Cloud9 in their opening match of IEM Chengdu, the level of competition has been much easier than the challenge that Cloud9 presents. FlyQuest will be up against it here and are predicted to struggle.

Virtus.pro will be looking for some redemption at IEM Chengdu after suffering a controversial exit from the Copenhagen Major. Wildcard will have their work cut out for them against the methodical game plan of VP.

Monte have been replaced by Steel Helmet on the eve of the tournament and will face Astralis in the opening round. Astralis should be winning this best-of-one series comfortably.

FaZe Clan may start this match against Nemiga as heavy favourites with esports betting sites, but the world number one is known for being slow starters. FaZe Clan should be winning but don’t be surprised if it is closer than expected.

Natus Vincere kicked off the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) season with a rough loss (1-2) against Darkside, despite winning the first map of the series convincingly. NaVi were even in a winning position on the final map, but a poor teamfight execution handed over the game to Darkside.

Team Spirit have yet to play a game this season, but they were active just over a month ago when Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov and co. attended BetBoom Xmas Show. The former The International champions played well in the warm-up event, took down Entity, HellRaisers, and Gaimin Gladiators in the semis (2-0), but then lost the grand finals (2-3).

We would view Team Spirit as a much stronger team than NaVi even had they not performed well at BetBoom Xmas Show. But their run to the finals proves that Spirit are ready to dominate the Eastern European league.

Nemiga Gaming lost their season opener against HellRaisers (1-2) quite badly. They had a solid showing on the second map, which they won with a +26k net worth, but were very disappointing on the first and third map, ending with a combined kill score of 17-56.

Nemiga’s next opponent, Darkside, reverse-swept Natus Vincere (2-1) on Sunday, mainly thanks to Maxim “re1bl” Afanasyev, who had a phenomenal performance on Lesharc and Death Prophet. His teammates didn’t disappoint either, but we can expect Nemiga to have their hands full trying to stop the ex-HellRaisers mid laner.

But despite losing the game, Nemiga Gaming enters this bout as $1.57 favourite, which doesn’t make much sense. They looked far worse than Darkside in the opening week and unless they drastically improve, this should be Darkside’s game.

It happened again. HellRaisers fought their way into the upper bracket of CIS DPC and rebuilt its roster; however, this time out, HellRaisers’ new lineup looks very good. The addition of Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin, Gleb “depressed kid” Zyryanov, Vladislav “Antares” Kertman, and Alexey “Solo” Berezin makes a lot of sense and could help HellRaisers emerge as one of CIS’s top Dota 2 squads.

A big addition is Daxak, who had a rough ending to the 2022 season with BetBoom Team but looked good throughout the year. And then there’s also Dota 2 veteran Solo, who got traded from NaVi and will play a key role in HellRaisers’ climb to the top.

Nemiga Gaming are the only team in the DPC (besides Tundra Esports) that didn’t make a single roster move. The only change ahead of the 2023 season was the signing of Alexei “j4” Lipai, who joins Nemiga as head coach.

The decision to keep its roster intact gives Nemiga Gaming a huge advantage over other EEU DPC squads, so it’s not too crazy to believe that Nemiga can win the opening tour of the season. But even though we’re confident in Nemiga’s performances early into the 2023 DPC season, it’s hard to pass on HellRaisers at +175.

Ahead of the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) season, Natus Vincere parted ways with captain Alexey “Solo” Berezin and no.2 Volodymyr “Noone” Minenko to make room for Arman “Malady” Orazbayev and Nikita “Nicky’Cool” Ostakhov, formerly of HellRaiers and Project Armor. Losing Solo stings a bit, but overall, NaVi have a competitive roster with the right mix of young and experienced players.

Their next opponents, Darkside consists of the former BetBoom Team core in Vladimir “RodjER” Nikogosian and Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev, who teamed up with Vladislav “DkFogas” Frolov, Maxim “re1bl” Afanasyev, and CIS Dota 2 legend Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev. The latter will play a major role in this team’s success alongside re1bl, who had a great past season when he made a name for himself as one of the future CIS Dota 2 esport stars.

The esports betting sites have priced Darkside as a favourite, which sounds right, but even $1.79 looks a bit too generous. This is a solid team with a substantial upside, and while you can say the same for NaVi, the latter have a lot more to prove.

?Ex-Winstrike Team will clash with AVE (formerly Hard Legion Esports) in the quarter-finals of Dell Gaming League Russia Season 2. Alexey “NickelBack” Trofimov and co. enter this match as huge betting favourites, which isn’t too shocking.

Ex-Winstrike won the European Premier Division of ESEA Season 36 on Sunday, dropping only one game en route to the title. AVE, on the other side, haven’t achieved any notable success since way back in May 2020, when they claimed bronze at ESL One: Road to Rio – CIS.

These CIS derbies are often unpredictable and can easily go either way, but we don’t believe that will be the case here. Ex-Winstrike are clearly the superior team and shouldn’t have any issues against the shaky AVE.

?The esports bookmakers have Nemiga priced as -454.55 favourites over 100PingGods, which seems a bit low in our book. Although the Russians boast the more established team, their form isn’t good enough for us to back them at that price.

Nemiga enter this match with a 1-3 record in their last four, which includes losses to Nordavind, ex-Winstrike, and Wisla Krakow. It’s hard to compare those results to that of 100PG, who have faced mostly semi-pro teams, but at least the Kazakhstani side has looked somewhat consistent.

Nemiga should be viewed as the favourites, but this seems more like a 70/30 game rather than the 82/18 implied by the latest CS:GO betting odds. There is decent value on 100PG, but we will settle for a safer bet and take the underdogs with a map handicap.

NEMIGA GAMING VS WINSTRIKE TEAM CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

NEMIGA vs WINSTRIKE WEPLAY! CLUTCH ISLAND BETTING PREVIEW

The third stage of the US $50,000 WePlay! Clutch Island tournament will kick off this Tuesday when Nemiga Gaming and Winstrike Team clash in the opening match of Group A.

Anton “boX” Burko and his crew started their journey into WePlay! Clutch Island in Group A, where they seeded alongside ESPADA, HellRaisers and Moscow Five Academy. After reverse sweeping M5 Academy (2-1) in the opening match, Nemiga stumbled against ESPADA (0-2) but bounced back with a commanding 2-0 win over HellRaisers in the decider match.

Having finished the group stage in second place, Nemiga entered phase two, which featured a double-elimination best-of-three (Bo3) format. There, they faced Group B winners forZe in a thrilling bout which saw Nemiga seal the series with a 16-7 win on Nuke in the third map.

Nemiga’s solid form at Clutch Island reflects their improved performances since signing Anton “speed4k” Titov from Hard Legion Esports in January. The Russian pro has maintained a 1.09 average rating and helped his new team climb 22 spots in the CS:GO global rankings. At the last update, Nemiga were ranked 30th in the world and seventh in their region.

Some of the team’s most notable achievements since January include second place in the WINNERS League – Season 3: Europe Invite Division, fourth at OGA Counter PIT Season 5 and a fifth at ESL One: Road to Rio – CIS.

Winstrike Team have also been on the rise since the CS:GO esports scene transitioned to online play. Although they have not made any roster changes since the turn of the year besides the acquisition of coach Dmitrii “hooch” Bogdanov in February, Abay “Hobbit” Khasenov and co. managed to break into top 30 teams in the world after starting 2020 at 57th in the rankings.

Their success in recent months, which includes a second-place finish at ESL One: Road to Rio – CIS in May, has awarded Winstrike with 1,500 Regional Major Rankings (RMR) points, which earned them a direct invite into the third phase of WePlay! Clutch Island.

At the end of May, Winstrike attended BLAST Premier CIS Cup but failed to show anything noteworthy. They joined ESPADA, Nemiga and Syman Gaming as one of the first teams to crash out of the competition after Hobbit and his crew lost to ESPADA (1-2) and Natus Vincere Junior (1-2).

However, Winstrike regained some momentum in the ESEA Season 34: Advanced Division – Europe: Regular Season, where they have won seven out of their last eight games.

Additionally, Winstrike are on a five-game winning streak after they took down hREDS (16-10), Budapest Five (19-15), Kaban Gaming (16-8), Nevermind (16-3) and sAw (16-14). Most of those teams, however, were amateur or lower-tier squads, so we should not put too much weight on those results.

NEMIGA vs WINSTRIKE WEPLAY! CLUTCH ISLAND BETTING PREDICTIONS

These teams last met at the start of May at ESL One: Road to Rio and LOOT.BET/CS Season 6. The fixtures were played only one day apart and Winstrike won both of them, 2-1 and 2-0 respectively.

Neither side have made any roster changes since their recent bouts, so the individual quality will remain mostly the same here. Winstrike enter this bout as massive favourites, which seems fair, but the odds at some esports bookmakers seem a bit lopsided.

Although Nemiga did not look as sharp as expected throughout the first phase of WePlay! Clutch Island, they still picked up wins against forZe and HellRaisers. Furthermore, they defeated Sprout (16-12), AGO (16-11) and CR4ZY (16-11) just over a week ago, so it’s hard to justify their high price.

It’s also worth noting that the ESL One: Road to Rio clash between Winstrike and Nemiga was very close. Nemiga even held an 11-4 lead by the end of the first half on the final map but lost the game with a terrible 2-12 record on T-side.

Considering how close their recent bout was and the fact these two rosters know each other well, we can expect to see another close affair, so betting on the underdogs at $2.29 is an obvious pick for us. Over 2.5 maps can also be considered.

TEAM SECRET vs NEMIGA CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

TEAM SECRET vs NEMIGA HELLCASE CUP #8 BETTING PREVIEW

Team Secret and Nemiga will duke it out in the opening Group C fixture at the eighth iteration of the Hellcase Cup, which features 20 European CS:GO teams and a guaranteed US $10,000 prize pool.

Nemiga will hope their third Hellcase Cup appearance is more successful than their previous two, as they finished 13th-16th at the sixth edition and 17th-18th at the seventh. The most recent tournament took place in October 2018, however, and a lot has changed since.

Anton “BoX” Burko and his crew enter the tournament following an underwhelming ninth-12th finish at LOOT.BET/CS Season 6, but things are not as grim as they may seem. Nemiga hold an impressive 8-2 record in their last 10 fixtures, consisting of wins against pro100, HellRaisers, Mortal Kombat, KOVA, Nordavind, Endpoint, Syman and SKADE.

Team Secret head into the Hellcase Cup as one of the hottest teams in CS:GO esports. Although they’re still miles from being regarded as one of the elite rosters, they have been rapidly improving since they benched Rigon “rigoN” Gashi in favour of ex-Tricked Esports in-game leader Martin “PERCY” Wessel in April.

Since Secret acquired the Danish strategist, they have produced a handful of solid tournament placements. At the start of May, the European squad made it to the quarter-finals of LOOT.BET/CS Season 6, followed by a ninth-12th finish at BLAST Rising, a runner-up at #HomeSweetHome: Week 4, and another quarter-final appearance at #HomeSweetHome: Week 5.

PERCY and his men are yet to hoist any trophies this year, but they have been somewhat unfortunate to face strong opponents early into many of their competitive endeavours. As such, it’s hard to criticise this emerging team too much for their lack of accolades in 2020.

On May 13, Filip “tudsoN” Tudev stepped down from Team Secret’s active roster. He wants to return to his more natural position as AWPer, but that role is currently occupied by Guy “anarkez” Trachtman.

It is still unclear who Team Secret will use to replace tudsoN. During HomeSweetHome #5 they fielded ?ygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas and since the Lithuanian pro does not have any other obligations to attend to, he is likely to step in at the Hellcase Cup as well.

TEAM SECRET vs NEMIGA HELLCASE CUP #8 BETTING PREDICTIONS

These two last met in November 2019 at LOOT.BET/CS Season 5, where Team Secret won 2-0. That result doesn’t count for much here, as both sides have made a handful of roster changes since.

In a perfect world, Nemiga would win here, but the online format is far from perfect. On Thursday, Nemiga lost to 1win and struggled against SKADE, which was not something we expected to see. Team Secret are not immune to those kinds of results either, so it’s a hard one to pick.

If the match odds are any indicator, this clash should go down to the wire. BetOnline is paying +113 for over 2.5 maps played, so that’s where your money should go.

SYMAN vs NEMIGA CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

SYMAN vs NEMIGA BLAST PREMIER CIS CUP BETTING PREVIEW

Syman and Nemiga will lock horns in the opening match of Group B at the BLAST Premier CIS Cup, which kicks off this Tuesday.

Syman Gaming will hope for a big improvement on their recent competitive endeavours. Their best results this year are top-four finishes at the LEGENDS.BET L33T CUP, Cyber.Bet Cup and #HomeSweetHome: Week 2. Sanzhar “neaLaN” Ishkakov and co. also took a swing at ESL One: Road to Rio – CIS, where they finished sixth after losing to Winstrike (0-2) and Nemiga (0-2) in the playoffs.

Shortly after the Rio Major qualifiers, Syman appeared at Hellcase Cup #8, where they suffered an early elimination following defeats to Team LDLC (1-2) and S-Gaming (0-2). NeaLaN and his crew looked marginally better at #HomeSweetHome: Week 5, where they finished the group stage with a 2-1 record, defeated Team Secret 2-1 in the quarter-finals, then suffered a humiliating 0-2 defeat against SMASH in the semis.

Nemiga Gaming have been very active this year. They have attended 11 CS:GO esports events and are currently competing in both the ESEA Season 34: Premier Division – Europe: Regular Season and WINNERS League – Season 4: Europe Invite Division. That stacked schedule has not translated into any great success, however, as a runner-up finish at WINNERS League – Season 3: Europe Invite Division and fourth place at OGA Counter PIT Season 5 remain the team’s best results so far.

In their last five fixtures, Nemiga defeated Syman (2-0), pro100 (16-6), HellRaisers (16-8) and Bpro (16-4), but they lost to ALTERNATE aTTaX (14-16) at ESEA S34. Nemiga have been averaging a 64.5% win rate over the last three months and will enter the upcoming fixture against Syman on a three-game winning streak.

Although Nemiga are nothing more than a B-Tier team, they are starting to find their place amongst the stronger CS:GO teams in the region. The latest global rankings, which were updated on May 18, had Nemiga at 32nd in the world and seventh in the CIS – both all-time highs for the organisation.

A lot of that improvement can be credited to Igor “lollipop21k” Solodkov and Rassim “Jyo” Valijev, who have been averaging 1.16 and 1.14 ratings respectively across last three months. It would be unfair to discredit the remainder of the team, however, as Aleksander “mds” Rubets (1.03), Anton “boX” Burko (1.05) and Anton “speed4k” Titov (1.10) are all keeping positive ratings.

The most recent roster change for Nemiga came in January, when they signed speed4k from Hard Legion Esports. That is the only change to the squad since the Belarusian organisation acquired boX in March 2019.

SYMAN vs NEMIGA BLAST PREMIER CIS CUP BETTING PREDICTIONS

These teams played each other last weekend, when Nemiga came away with a convincing 2-0 win. The match was one-sided on both Nuke (16-7) and Overpass (16-12), which does not inspire any optimism that Syman can turn it around here and walk away with the spoils.

It’s also worth noting that Nemiga defeated Syman not because of an individual stand-out performance, but instead with a joint effort. That fact is highlighted in the match stats, as all five members of the winning team ended the series with 1.18+ ratings.

Speed4k topped the ratings with 1.28 in that match and has maintained that standard with remarkable performances against pro100 (1.54), HellRaisers (1.25) and Bpro (1.01). Meanwhile, lollipop21k has averaged 1.57 in Nemiga’s last three matches.

When you compare that kind of form with Syman’s recent loss to SMASH, Nemiga should be priced at much shorter odds. A -1.5 handicap bet might seem risky at first, but it makes more sense when you consider that the favourites have a better win record (67%) than the underdogs (58%) on Inferno – Syman’s best map.

We’re at the group stage this Thursday as Kaipi and Nemiga meet in the LOOT.BET Winter Masters.

Kaipi’s last professional match was up against HAPPY GUYS in MegaFon Champions League Season 2, they lost to HAPPY GUYS in that match-up.

Their draft illustrated that Dazzle is their favourite hero, they drafted Dazzle as their core in game one.

While they also picked Anti-Mage as their first position hero in that game along with Centaur Warchief as their offlaner.

These line up of cores was only able to win when you are against some tier 3 team or below than that. HAPPY GUYS is a team features a lot of tier one players such as Illidan and Synderen, they did not have any problem to encounter the split push pressure that created by Kaipi.

Dazzle always split push with Necromaniac Level 3 while Anti-Mage had his farm was their strategy Kaipi’s strategy, HAPPY GUYS countered them with Medusa, a stronger late-game hero compare to Anti-Mage.

Medusa always able to farm the Necromaniac summoned by Dazzle allowed him to increase his net worth and also countered the split push.

Kaipi was forced to call GG when Tiny and Medusa wipe them out in the last team fight.

In game two, Kaipi drafted Dazzle as position 5, this is an advantage Kaipi could use towards their enemies in drafting phase, putting Dazzle in position two or support role can confuse enemies.

However, HAPPY GUYS still took them down in game two with Beastmaster on fire that game.

Nemiga Gaming most recent professional match was against TPB in Friends Cup, that was a long game, the game ended at 60-minute mark after Nemiga Gaming lost their throne.

GGwpLanaya, the position two player from Nemiga Gaming played Kunka in that game. Kunka is a hero that required a lot of focus to ensure that you able to stun enemies after the X mark pulling enemy back to point you marked him.

Despite Nemiga Gaming lost in that game, GGwpLanaya played a good game of Kunka in that match-up.

Their draft was featuring, Brewmaster, Vengeful Spirit, Phantom Lancer, Elder Titan and Kunka. This draft was great because all of their cores able to join team fight after 20-minute mark, they might able to win the game before 30-minute mark if enemies drafted too greddy.

However, TPB also draft nicely, as they picked Razor and Tidehunter to sustain the early-middle game pressure from enemies and putting Terrorblade in a comfortable farming zone.

Kaipi vs Nemiga Gaming betting prediction

After analysing the drafting abilities and their members individual skills of both squads, we give Nemiga Gaming a 60% chance to win this match-up.

Our recommendation is to go medium and bet on Nemiga Gaming to win the game at better than -120.48 at BetOnline.
