Counter-Strike: Global Offensive FaceIt Major, UK-London

Wednesday, Sep. 5

• Space Soldiers -233 vs Rogue +174
• North -233 vs Hellraisers +173
• Team Liquid -217 vs OpTic +174
• Astralis -1000 vs complexity Gaming +542

Wednesday, Sep. 5

Virtus.pro +181 vs Ninjas in Pyjamas -244

After failing at The International, Virtus.pro is back. This time the talented Russian eSports team heads to the UK to battle Ninjas in Pyjamas in their first CS:Go FaceIt Major, UK-London match. Virtus.pro beat HellRaisers and 5Power Club 2:0 at the Intel Extreme Masters in Shanghai before losing 1:2 to both TyLoo and MVP.PK in the Zotac Cup Playoffs. The team matches up well with Ninjas in Pyjamas, a somewhat overplayed choice here at -244. Ninjas in Pyjamas lost to Astralis at DreamHack-Stockholm in their last match. Virtus.pro is the play. Pick: Virtus.pro

Gambit Esports +100 vs TyLoo -132

Ninjas in Pyjamis also beat TyLoo at DreamHack-Stockholm. Tyloo’s gone 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches. That includes loses to North, Team Kinguin, and NRG Esports. Gambit Esports heads into their Wednesday match versus TyLoo off 3 straight losses: 2:0 vs NRG Esports, 1:0 vs mousesports.CS, and 1:2 vs HellRaisers. Neither team has much of an edge over the other while both teams could get out of their losing funk. But, Gambit Esports offers much better odds than TyLoo. It’s always a good idea to back the team offering better odds in tough to handicap matches. Pick: Gambit Esports Vega Squadron +129 vs Team Spirit -169 HellRaisers beat Team Spirit 2:1 at the CS:GO Minor Championships Grand Final on July 13. Team Spirit hasn’t battled in a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament since then. Vega Squadron’s been even more inactive than Team Spirit in CS:GO tournaments. Vega Squadron’s last CS:GO tournament played was back in January. Not that it matters. Both teams have taken part in other eSports tournaments. Team Spirit should beat Vega Squadron simply because they’re fresher playing CS:GO. I like Team Spirit to win this matchup.
