COMPLEXITY vs MIBR CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

CS:GO Betting Odds:<\/td>\nComplexity -208.33 at BetOnline<\/a> | MiBR +161 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u2028MiBR stunned Natus Vincere (16-12) in the first round of Group B last Saturday, but since then, the Brazilians haven’t achieved much. They lost their next two bouts against OG (9-16) and Astralis (9-16), proving their victory against the current Major champions was nothing more than a fluke.<\/p>\n

MiBR had a much tougher group to fight through, but even with two losses against G2 Esports (12-16) and BIG (10-16), Complexity are viewed as the favourites to win this bout. That makes sense – not because Complexity are very good, but rather because MiBR are arguably the weakest team at the tournament.<\/p>\n

Still, at the offered CS:GO betting<\/a> odds, you have to consider backing MiBR to show up and offer some form of resistance. We wouldn’t side with them to win, nor are MiBR a good bet with a 2.5-round advantage, but they should pick up at least 11 rounds.<\/p>\n

NATUS VINCERE vs TEAM LIQUID CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

CS:GO Betting Odds:<\/td>\nNaVi -555.56 at BetOnline<\/a> | Liquid +374 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nFebruary 3, 2022 at 16:30 CET<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u2028Natus Vincere looked unstoppable in the latter part of 2021, but they slipped early in Group A with back-to-back defeats against MiBR (12-16) and Astralis (17-19). Despite the CIS juggernauts’ struggles, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and his crew are heavy favourites to take down Team Liquid on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Team Liquid got off to a very disappointing start to the 2022 season and lost two close games against FaZe Clan (15-19, 17-19) on Sunday. Regardless, Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella and co. played well in those outings, so you have to have some faith in them to put up a fight in the play-in stage.<\/p>\n

At +374, Team Liquid’s implied probability of winning is only 21.1%, which is way too low. NaVi, while a much stronger team, have yet to shake off the rust, suggesting that there’s a chance we might see an upset. Liquid with a 4.5-round advantage is a safer bet, but you’ll find far more value with the North American side on the moneyline market.<\/p>\n

EVIL GENIUSES vs BIG CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

CS:GO Betting Odds:<\/td>\nEG +155 at BetOnline<\/a> | BIG -200 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nFebruary 3, 2022 at 18:30 CET<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u2028Evil Geniuses lost both Group C matches against Team Vitality (3-16) and Team Liquid (17-19), which isn’t great, but not that much worse than BIG. The German squad can have their moments, but they have yet to produce anything noteworthy with a 16-10 victory against Complexity and two defeats against Ninjas in Pyjamas (12-16, 9-16).<\/p>\n

If we look at the individual performance numbers this tournament, all players on BIG, except for Nils “k1to” Gruhne, have a +1.00 performance rating. On the other side, William “RUSH” Wierzba (1.00) is the only player on EG with a positive rating. Still, EG have had to face much tougher teams, so they deserve some slack. <\/p>\n

We favour BIG slightly for this bout, but not enough to bet on them at -200. As weak as Evil Geniuses have been, their odds should be much closer to even money. At +155, we have to back EG to take down the German squad.<\/p>\n
