These two teams enjoyed vastly different first-round matches. Ninjas in Pyjamas took a convincing 2-0 win over Fnatic, whereas Mouz lost 2-0 to Entropiq in a rather close encounter.
At the time of writing, NIP sit in first place with a +21 round differential, putting them in a good starting position for the group stage. Fredrik “REZ” Sterner was absolutely insane in the first game for NIP, compiling a massive 54 kills for a +29 kill-to-death difference over the two maps against Fnatic. If “REZ” keeps up this type of form, with the help of his teammates, he will take NIP a long way in this tournament.
Mouz have welcomed back Aurimas “Bymas” Pipiras into the line-up for this tournament, which is a much needed addition, but unfortunately his heroics were not enough to get them a map, let alone the win, against Entropiq. Mouz will need to find something that they haven’t shown in recent times to make this a competitive series.
The $1.83 on offer for NIP to take out this series looks to be a spoil, so that’s where our money is going.

LookingForOrg vs Entropiq CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| CS:GO Odds: | L4O $9.00 at GG Bet | Entropiq $1.04 at GG Bet |

In the second match of the day, LookingForOrg will be aiming to bounce back against Entropiq, who will be trying continue on their winnings ways after their day-one victory.
This match-up looks to be the least competitive of the bunch today, due to the fact that LookingForOrg appear to be the inferior team in this group. Entropiq enjoyed a close but decisive win against Mouz on the first day of matches, where Igor “Forester” Bezotecheskiy took over and gained a huge 1.59 rating out of 2.00 for their bout.
LookingForOrg can take some positives out of their first match, due to the fact that they pushed G2 and played 28 out of the 30 rounds, to lose 16-12 in regulation, on G2’s map pick. Be that as it may, there still isn’t enough talent or experience on this roster to seriously trouble most of these teams in Group A.
With Entropiq being $1.04 for the win, there simply isn’t enough value there, so we suggest taking the $1.53 about the favourites in the alternative rounds handicap at -11.5.
Entropiq -11.5 rounds

The French powerhouse G2 Esports take on one of the most achievement-rich teams, Fnatic, in what is the last match-up of the day. Therefore, this should be a belter of a match-up, but sadly, due to recent form and the massive changes in both rosters over the last six months, this is unlikely to be the case.
G2 took care of business on the first day of matches with an emphatic yet tense 2-0 series win against the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, LookingForOrg. With Ilya “m0Nesy” Osipov and Nemaja “huNter-” Kovac transferring their IEM Katowice brilliance to the Pro League, G2 will be very hard to stop for any team in this tournament.
Fnatic were underwhelming in their first game against NIP going down 2-0 and only took 11 rounds with them from the match-up. It is going to a take a few series for this new Fnatic line-up to get to know each other and start to gel.
G2 should be far too good, so take them at the -1.5 match line at $1.61.
