Season 8 of the Esports Championship Series comes to a close this week, with the finals set to kick off on Thursday, November 28 at Esports Stadium in Arlington, Virginia. Let’s look over the teams, their strengths, their weaknesses and their CS:GO betting odds<\/a> for the opening four fixtures.<\/p>\n

Evil Geniuses vs AVANGAR<\/h2>\n

Thursday, November 28 – 9:00 CST<\/em><\/p>\n

Evil Geniuses enter this bout as heavy favourites ($1.27) and it is hard to see them as anything less than a far superior team to AVANGAR ($3.49).<\/p>\n

The North American organisation suffered a crushing defeat against mousesports (0-2) in the Asia Championships 2019 quarter-finals last weekend, which was just one of many questionable results this star-studded team has put up in recent times.<\/p>\n

While EG\u2019s defeat against mouz did not inspire much optimism, they are still a much better team than AVANGAR, who have struggled since their runner-up finish at the StarLadder Berlin Major.<\/p>\n

We can’t expect any surprises here. EG need to redeem themselves following a poor display in China and a strong start at the ECS Finals is exactly what they will look to achieve.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Evil Geniuses to win – $1.27 at GG Bet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Astralis vs Sharks Esports<\/h2>\n

Thursday, November 28 – 12:00 CST<\/em><\/p>\n

If the odds at ESB’s top esports betting sites<\/a> are anything to go by, the clash between Astralis ($1.06) and Sharks Esports ($7.58) will be one of the biggest mismatches of the year.<\/p>\n

There is not a lot to be said about this bout, except that Astralis are far superior to Sharks Esports in all aspects of the game. While the Danes are no strangers to upset defeats, the chances of that happening here are extremely small.<\/p>\n

Sharks, while a respected team in their own region, will have a hard time walking away with anything here. While upset wins are fairly common in best-of-one matches, we see no value in backing Sharks to produce a miracle here.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Astralis to win – $1.06 at GG Bet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fnatic vs MiBR<\/h2>\n

Thursday, November 28 – 13:30 CST<\/em><\/p>\n

The second fixture of Group B features two old enemies in Fnatic ($1.49) and MiBR ($2.48), who are bound to make sparks fly at the Esports Stadium.<\/p>\n

The reformed and reborn Fnatic are flying high since their title-winning run at DreamHack Masters Malmo in October and will look to keep the momentum going as they aim to re-establish themselves as one of elite CS:GO esports teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
