Esports Betting Tips August 3rd

Esports action continues this Monday night and our gaming expert Michael Lee is back with another three game slate of betting tips! Today we take a look at the CS:GO Nine to Five Cup as well as the DOTA2 Moon Studio Asian League below.

Esports Betting Tips: Monday, August 3rd

Syman vs Tikitakan

Nine to Five 2

Syman and Tikitakan last met just a couple of days ago in the Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 5, where Tikitakan won 16-8 on Mirage and 16-14 on Overpass even though they had to play with multiple stand-in players. Another thing to note from that match is that Syman came close to producing a comeback on Overpass, which could have easily resulted in them wining, but things did not go as planned.

Two months ago, Syman parted ways with Rasmus "kreaz" Johansson in favour of a young Kazakhstani talent Aydos "kade0" Khayrzhan, who has yet to show up. He is averaging 0.90 HLTV rating across the last three months, which is not exactly good, but he looked much better throughout Nine to Five 2 with a 1.09 rating, so I am not too worried about him ahead of this match.

Looking at this match, I believe Tikitakan can repeat their success from Eden Arena and come out ahead if they end up playing on "puggy" maps such as Mirage and Dust2, and perhaps even end the series with a perfect 2-0. That being said, if the series come down to more tactical maps such as Inferno, Nuke, Train, or Overpass, I have much more faith in Syman, who are much more proficient on said maps.

Syman will be eager to avenge their defeat against Tikitakan and since it's fair to say both teams will win their map picks, I have to place my money on the series going the distance. Bet on Over 2.50 Maps!

Gambit Youngsters vs ALTERNATE aTTaX

Nine to Five 2

Gambit Youngsters will enter this match with a 12-match winning streak, which they have accumulated by defeating tier 2 and tier 3 teams. That is nothing too impressive, but they're at least consistent and are winning games, albeit against weaker sides.

Their next opponent ALTERNATE aTTaX, are in a slightly worse form with 4-1 record from their last five. They have lost to NaVi Junior, but had no problems defeating the likes of BLUEJAYS, Budapest Five, GamerLegion and Excellency.

Gambit Youngsters and ALTERNATE aTTaX last met a couple of weeks ago during the Nine to Five 1, where we saw Gambit Youngster reverse sweep the German squad who started the series with a dominant 16-3 win on Overpass only to drop the ball on Train and Inferno, both of which ended 19-17 in favour of Gambit.

As the score would suggest, the match was very close and I don't feel like Gambit were the rightful victors that day, but it was instead ALTERNATE aTTaX who were a bit unlucky. With that in mind, I also can't agree with the betting odds which price Gambiut Youngsters as massive favourites. Sure, ALTERNATE aTTaX lost to NaVi Junior, but that was just another case of their misfortune.

Overall, I rank the German squad much higher than Gambit Youngsters and while there is a chance we could be in for another close fight, I have to put my money on ALTERNATE aTTaX to claim a revenge win.

Neon Esports vs Team BLACK

Moon Studio Asian League

There is no reason to have Team Black priced at such high odds for this match and even though these online Dota2 games are often very close and tend to produce volatile results, I still have no faith Neon can cause any real issues to one of the hottest tier 2 Dota2 teams.

Neon have not lost a single match so far this tournament, however, they also won only one. So far Neon drew with Ares Gaming and Execration, but had no issues defeating EHOME.Immortal. Those are mediocre results at most, especially their draw with Ares, who are an amateur team.

Team Black, on the other end, played only two games so far this tournament. They drew with Execration and defeated TNC Predator, which I rank much higher compared to what Neon have shown. Even though it’s true that TNC are in poor form, winning 2-0 still takes a lot of quality, which Black seemingly have.

Neon and Team Black have never met before, which makes it hard to figure out how they will stack up. Form-wise, Neon have lost only two games out of last 14 played, but they mostly faced weaker sides, most of which ended in stalemates. Black, on the other side, are 8-2 from their last 10 games. They lost only to Execration (who they later defeated) and Aster.Aries, but showed not struggles defeating other teams of their calibre.

This can easily turn out to be a close match and while Neon are a better team on paper, Team Black are severely underrated at 4.60. They are in great form and if their commanding win against TNC is anything to go by, they should be able to humiliate Neon as well.
