Bookmaker Rating Bet
Ninjas in Pajamas vs Team Empire – 15:00 Moscow time
The victory of Team Empire over the Alliance came as a complete surprise, but it is too early to believe in the Empire in every match. There are two types of victories – the first is that you beat your opponent, and the second is that your opponent lost to you. In the match with Alliance, the second option happened – the game Gustav s4 Magnusson really left much to be desired, and the drafts from Artyom Fng Barshak raised questions. The victory over the Alliance does not make Empire a clear favorite in matches with other opponents, so it’s worth using increased odds.
The NiP in the match with Team Liquid looked great on the first two maps, and even if the third one was already affected by the loss of concentration (the game turned out to be very strange on both sides), one thing is for sure – the team Akbar SoNNeikO Butaeva ESL One Birmingham 2023 failed. I think there will be no underestimation of the opponent by NiP, and even after the lost match with the former Liquid Chickenfighters these three points are very necessary. I think that Ninjas in Pajamas will easily close this match.
Rate: ₽500 to win NiP with handicap on cards (-1.5) with a coefficient of 2.60.
Nigma vs OG – 18:00 Moscow time
Topson is back! OG is back! At least until I met with Team secret. OG showed a really cool game on BLAST Bounty Hunt, let it not yet reach the peak of strength. As for Nigma, she was content with third place in the tournament, losing OG in the bottom bracket final. Yes, in that game, OG simply skated over opponents, but Amer Miracle- Al Barkawi and the company had to conclude from that match. The confrontation is more than fundamental, and despite four consecutive defeats of Nigma in-person confrontations, I would not risk choosing a winner – we will be honest, OG at the start of the group stage may also “pull back”. I suppose that the confrontation will be stubborn and drag on three cards.
Rate: ₽500 for total 2.5 cards more with a coefficient of 2.04.
Alliance vs Team Liquid – 21:00 Moscow time
What a resounding slap in the face from Team Empire yesterday received the Alliance. The team, which now according to many is among the five best teams in Europe and the CIS, was literally smeared by the young “Empire”. Alliance clearly underestimated the opponent, which caused a lot of mistakes, and the veteran of the team Gustav s4 Magnusson was not like himself. Liquid, however, issued the best match of the game of the day with Ninjas in Pajamas, showing his character and managing to scratch the victory from his rivals. It is foolish to think that the Alliance will not have time to recover from an insulting defeat, but judging by the first match, the team is now not in perfect shape – maybe the abundance of matches has affected the last couple of months. Liquid is now objectively stronger, if we conclude on the first day of the game, so I will put the “liquid” to the victory with a score of 2: 0.
Rate: ₽500 to win Team Liquid with a score of 2: 0 with a coefficient of 3.34.

Ninjas in Pajamas vs Team Empire – 15:00 Moscow time
Team Empire has already managed to beat Alliance, and now the dark horse BEYOND EPIC is preparing to do the same with Ninjas in Pajamas. And yet, I am not yet ready to believe in the sudden success of this team – with all due respect to its members. Firstly, the Alliance’s defeat could be due to the underestimation of the opponent, and secondly, NiP still had time to at least get a little prepared for the new composition from the CIS. This time I won’t take any chances, so I’ll just bet the roster SoNNeikO to win.
Rate: ₽500 to win NiP with a coefficient of 1.52.
Nigma vs OG – 18:00 Moscow time
Nigma got a chance to get even with OG for the grand finale The international 2019 only in the second half of the season when the competitive scene moved online. Teams have already fought four times in tournaments, and out of nine cards Kuro KuroKy Salehi Tahasomi took only one. In the last meeting, even signature Meepo did not help Nigma beat the opponent. The bookmaker gives almost equal odds of winning any of these teams, so it’s better to take a chance and bet on the exact score. I will believe the statistics and put it at 2: 0 in favor of OG.
Rate: ₽750 at 2: 0 in favor of OG with a coefficient of 3.34.
Alliance vs Team Liquid – 21:00 Moscow time
The confrontation between these teams arose immediately after TI9 and by the second half of the season was really spectacular. Over the past month, Alliance only beat Team Liquid once, but for now I would not deduct the composition of s4. In my opinion, the defeat from Team Empire was to become a strong slap in the face for the team, which, perhaps, would be an occasion to partially revise the views on the game. In this case, I would bet on Alliance’s sports anger and the desire to prove itself in the fight against the old rival. Will the team win a clear victory? Not sure. But I expect to see three cards and am ready to bet on it.
Rate: ₽750 rubles for a total of 2.5 B with a coefficient of 1.96.
Preliminary Results
The opinions of the participants were divided, which means that it is likely that one of the teams will break ahead. Much will depend on the results of matches Nigma – OG and Alliance – Team Liquid.
