Navi are on a form with the current team. Coordination is perfect, calls are perfect and so Navi very very likely to win this one. Faze vs Complexity is a bit tough to call. I am bit inclined towards Faze given complexity has been ongoing some changes.

Indeed, I'm supporting Navi in this one, odds are also pretty much well. OG is also a very team-play-oriented team but I like how Navi coordinates their pushes. From what I'm expecting, both the teams are in really good form and this match could go to overtime. So small decisions, rotation calls would be vital over here. One small mistake and could cost you the game.

I agree with you guys, I also think Navi will win but it'll be a close series since OG looks somewhat decent given their semi final finish in the ESL Pro League few weeks ago.

Imo they're a level above OG but they still have the tendency to drop maps so i'm taking the handicap on OG+1.5 @1.65 as the odds are way too juiced on the match winner.

i went with the NaVi handicap



off to a good start with the one-man army taking OG's map pick...Dust2 next, not super confident about this one, NaVi are very inconsistent here. If things go south then i'll go with NaVi to win Mrg, it's their second best map

later today, FaZe - COL...it's Coldzera's debut with Complexity...i don't see any value in prematch so i'll probably watch the gane and go with some live bets

Nice idea with if things went a bit challenging for Navi there but with quite a dominant show on Overpass which was OG pick and now they are off to Dust 2 which is quite Navi playground, I think it is very hard for OG to make a comeback here given how strong Navi is at Dust 2.

It would be a good one to watch- Coldzera vs former team

That second map between OG and Navi was tight, during the second half the admins gave Navi a handout (this part was frustrating) but luckily OG pulled through.

Planning to take OG in the lower bracket match but unfortunately stake is inaccessible on my end so I might have to bet live. After Faze lost 2-0 against Complexity I still think this could go all the way to a third map since they look decent on their map pick (Ancient) but it wasn't enough for a win.

[hanspeter77]

lol that im not seen yesterday FaZe lost Complexity Gaming realy strong in the first map, on the second map they was a bit better butt not enugh to win.
Natus Vincere win the first map though OG pick this map and they had no chance to win.    and the second map pick from Natus win OG 
last map on mirage NAtus play strong and win the last map.

[Avirunes]

Navi registers another win and continues their streak to 7 wins back to back. Still I would say given the changes complexity have been going through, they also did very well to reach to their group upper finals. They really pushed Navi in ancient and didn't gave any room to grab up some pace. es3tag was a beast in ancient with 25-7 (K/D) and actually he is a great player but haven't yet found a proper team where he can make his place kinda strong. Hope that complexity will be the team where he will enjoy a spot for a good amount of time. He deserves some good chance IMO.

Complexity putting up a great fight vs Navi just now, taking it to 3 maps and deserving recognition as a threat to every team looks like; great tug of war between the two despite the rank gap.   They did make mistakes and lost rounds on time with the nightmare ending to the series defeating themselves in effect by not setting the bomb up in time just simply forgetting how pivotal having bomb close by is.   They'll improve their rough edges and were behind on rounds in any case, as a bettor its good for us they get knocked down to play the lower bracket I think.    I actually played vs boombl4 in MM once, nothing serious of course but anyone can lose ground in CS at times and Complexity are great in a giant killing way, good underdog bet hopefully the odds are good for that in future.
   3 maps for OG vs Faze, too close for me to think about maybe during live bets

[tomahawk9]

they are off to Dust 2 which is quite Navi playground

NaVi can't win their own map picks! wtf, man?? why?

same. I went with the Over 2.5 and will keep an eye on the live markets. Been having a good run with total rounds

considering their form over the last few months, plus the recent change in the roster, they're looking really, really good so far. I could see them facing NaVi again in the Grand Final

[hanspeter77]

Complexity Gaming lost there picked map that not good butt the pick from Natus Vincere they lost to 
second map was hard to see Natus cinvere lost soo hard on this map.
last map on Nuke they get a little bit of comeback. 
FaZe win vs OG that im not expect im had think OG win this match 

[STT]

Complexity are rated the favorites vs Faze now but 3 maps is a good bet, I think they both showed they win this and 3 maps is the easiest way to go.   Later on I'll bet Navi win against whoever, I cant bet that in advance and I have to go out hopefully I'll be back in time if its 3 maps for this game I will   That also means whoever wins will be slightly more tired for it, going into the next game.
   Complexity to win in 2 maps is 2.8 otherwise I dont like the odds and Faze win is over 4x with 2 or 3 maps selected in the scores.   Broky was doing good work and all of them are on form seems like, Faze are 10 ranks over Col but I do agree Col to win but I'll go mostly with 3 maps

[ralle14]

Not surprised on the OG loss, tbh it looked like a coinflip after the second map.

For the lower bracket final i'm going with Complexity@1.60, imo they have the slight edge when it comes to firepower but we'll see if Faze could make some improvements this time.

Then in the final I might go with over 2.5 or the handicap (whichever is better) since Navi dropped a map in the last two series.

Complexity 0 - 16 Faze Clan

WTF?!  

phew! at least my ticket won

I'll go with Over maps. D2 and Ancient are solid maps for Faze...heh! watch NaVi win 2-0 and mess up my ticket again  *edit, of course, first time i go 2.5 maps in a Navi match and they win 2-0 after being 4-11 in map2

That was well played by Navi. They win 2-1. It was a beastly play from both Simple and es3tag. They went  +11 and +15 KD respectively. Although BlameF popped off alongside es3tag but it was a well team-oriented play from Navi. Loved their game and playstyle, they supported their teammates well and as always S1mple was just said to ' Go Kill'. Congrats to Navi.

Yeah it was very surprising to watch. This was the same map where complexity gave Navi huge trouble in their match. To be honest Ancient so much surprising map. It is fair to say underdog can surprise a big side easily in this match.

Glad that you won something there toma.

We are nearly at the end of the BLAST Premier Fall Groups now. So far the results we have got are like this for each group:

Group A : Vitality managed to defeat Astralis by 2-1 in the group final.
Group B : NIP managed to defeat BIG by 2-1 in the group final. And the decider match ended with NIP's huge victory like 16-5.

When it comes to Group C final match, it is going on now between Natus Vincere and FaZe. The first map is dust2 and Natus Vincere are leading by 9-4. The second map (Natus Vincere's pick) is Mirage. If we see a draw after this, the decider map is going to be Ancient.

I think that Natus Vincere will win this final match by 2-1.

Yes lol im had think at the end of the second round okay Complexity win this match butt no last map on Ancient FaZe win 16 rounds i a row thats crazy 
And now over th match Natus Vincere vs FaZe and Natus win the first map and the second map, i must say its a bit hard to play so long is the second match for FaZe today.

Complexity 0 - 16 Faze Clan

WTF?!

That sweep was nuts, I was expecting a close result since they took it to OT last meeting but Faze showed up big in the CT side.

of course, first time i go 2.5 maps in a Navi match and they win 2-0 after being 4-11 in map2

You're not alone  I took Faze map 2 live, I thought they could close it out but then fell flat in the second half.

Also looking forward to the RMR LAN tournament in the next few days.

Complexity 0 - 16 Faze Clan

WTF?!  

WTF is the appropriate reaction, Complexity is a good team, a zero in a map is just unforgivable and at the same time disrespectful to the team that got zeroed, what a sweep.

didn't know the RMR events were going to be LAN...they're gonna be BO1 in the group stage, i hate it, but it is what it is...

ngl, i'm getting a bit tired of CSgo lately, too many games, need me something new...Cant' wait for TI and Worlds next week

i just found out this is not the first time Coldzera got 16-0'd,, Astralis 16-0 MIBR, Fnatic 16 - 0 Luminosity

i remember seeing the Valorant main stream with like 50k more viewers than NaVi - Vitality at some point...
btw, i didn't know Pansy went to valorant as commentator, she was great as a caster in csgo

NaVi and Vitality were not particularly well-liked in Valorant at the time, but consider this: they attracted 50k viewers, which is a typical viewership for a team with a small fan base in Valorant. But let's speak about the other teams in NA and EU that can easily reach 100k viewers during a tournament, such as SEN, G2, FNC, Gambit, 100T, and many others. So I saw a great opportunity in it if I were a gambling platform owner, because with that audience figure, we could make a lot of money. Fortunately, some gambling services, such as sportsbet, have already introduced it to eSports, so we can start betting right now and keep in mind that the Championship will be held soon!!
