Esports Betting Tips: CSGO and Dota2 – Monday, 6th April
Virtus.pro vs Gambit
ESL One Los Angeles 2020 Dota2 Online: Europe & CIS BEST BET
After suffering a painful 0-2 defeat against Vikin.gg, Gambit will hope they will see more success against an old enemy Virtus.pro, who are entering this bout with a 1-0 record, which they earned against HellRaisers on Saturday.
Virtus.pro and Gambit have met twice since February, with Virtus.pro winning both fixtures with an aggregate score of 4:0. It's worth noting that Virtus.pro are playing at ESL One LA with a stand-in Igor "iLTW" Filatov instead of Zaur "Cooman" Shakhmurzaev, who eas benched due to his poor performances, but that can hardly be seen as a downgrade for the Russian squad. We don't expect any shock results here, meaning Virtus.pro should have a fairly easy time coming out ahead once more. AN outright bet on Alexei "Solo" Berezin is a solid option, but given Gambit's poor performance against Vikin.gg, a -1.50 map handicap should be considered with significantly higher odds.
OG vs B8
ESL One Los Angeles 2020 Dota2 Online: Europe & CIS
A match that can easily be regarded as the most-one sided bout of the tournament will see two-time back-to-back TI champions take on Danil "Dendi" Ishutin's newly established Dota2 roster, which has yet to achieve any notable results in its two-months long history. When a team fails to achieve anything there is usually some complex factor behind it, but in this case, B8 simply lack the needed quality to compete at the top level. Their best player is TI1 champion Dendi, who is one of the most celebrated CIS Dota2 players in history, but there is no hiding he is not as good as he once was.
With all due respect, B8 have zero to no chance to win a single map, let alone the whole series and the fact that OG decimated Nigma on Saturday only goes to show they will have no issues winning here. Expect nothing less than a 2-0 win for Johan "N0tail" Sundstein and company.
Royal Never Give Up vs Sparking Arrow Gaming
CDA Season 1
Chinese DOTA2 Professional Association Season 1 enters its week two of the season this Monday, where we will see Royal Never Give Up take on Sparking Arrow Gaming, who are entering the bout with a perfect 4-0 record to their name.
Sparking Arrow Gaming have looked strong throughout the season and deservingly sit at the top of the league standings. The question is, however, how much weight can we put on their triumphs over EHOME and PSG.LGD, considering all both teams probably put much more emphasis on their games at ESL One Los Angeles 2020 - Online: China, which were played on the same day. Having said that, RNG will also have another match to attend this Monday, when they face Keen Gaming at Dota2 Professional League Season 7, meaning they will be entering this match slightly fatigued. There is a chance Sparking Arrow Gaming might win, simply because RNG probably won't care too much for a US $56,410 tournament, however, it's hard to expect a clean sweep, so an over 2.5 map bet still comes off as a safer option that still offers generous odds.

Hard Legion vs Mustang Crew
Cyber.Bet Cup
An established Russian CS:GO team Hard Legion (formerly Dream Eaters) will take on a newly-established squad Mustang Crew, led by a Major winner Mihail "Dosia" Stolyarov aka. the X God. Unfortunately, Mustang Crew don't have much going for them besides the fact that the team is owned by one of the most celebrated Russian CS:GO players, meanwhile Hard Legion are coming into this match shortly after hoisting MEGOGO Open, where they proved they have no problem beating weaker teams, which is exactly what Mustang Crew are.
Mustang Crew have played only two competitive matches in their rather short history and although both fixtures (against Singularity and BLUEJAYS) were close, Dosia and co. left a lot to be desired, especially when it came to a proper organisation, clearly suggesting Dosia might not be the right IGL for this team. With all due respect, Mustang Crew will be completely outmatched here, and we have a hard time believing they can cause any serious damage to Hard Legion. Bet on Hard Legion to win 2-0.
