Natus Vincere and Fluxo will kick off Group B with their very first meeting. NaVi are ranked no.3 in the world, while Fluxo are no.28.

Natus Vincere will be looking to defend their BLAST Premier Fall Final title, having defeated Team Vitality 2-1 in the grand final last year. NaVi have won the last three BLAST Premier finals in a row, as they also took out the BLAST Premier World Final last December and the BLAST Premier Spring Final in June this year. At their last two international events, IEM Rio Major and ESL Pro League 16, NaVi finished fifth-eighth in both, getting knocked out in the quarter-finals. Their in-game leader, Denis “electroNic” Sahripov, and the player that many regard as the greatest of all time, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, haven’t been performing anywhere near their best of late. For NaVi to take out this event, they will need to lift their game.

Fluxo have been climbing the ESL world rankings for the last 12 months. Since this time last year they have improved their ranking from 56 to 28 in the world. Over the last two months Fluxo have competed in six events, winning five of them, including a victory in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown for North America, which gained them a spot in the Fall Final. The Brazilians are on a three-match win streak after taking out the Fall Showdown.

NaVi come into this series as very short favourites to take out this series, and there is no doubt in our mind that they will be the victor in this series. Therefore, we will be taking them at the rounds line of -12.5.

TEAM LIQUID vs G2 ESPORTS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: Liquid $2.00 at GG Bet | G2 $1.72 at GG Bet
When: November 23, 2022 | 19:00 CET

The best series on the opening day will be saved to last. The world no.9, Team Liquid, will take on G2 Esports (no.13) once again after they met three months ago in the BLAST Premier Fall Groups, where Liquid won the best-of-one series 16-12.

Liquid were in very good form before they got to the IEM Rio Major, winning their IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR and finishing second in ESL Pro League Season 16. At the Major, Liquid were knocked out on the final day of the Legends Stage after they lost in a very competitive series against Team Spirit. The one thing that seems to hold Liquid back at these big events is that they haven’t won an S-Tier tournament since ESL Pro League Season 11 North America in April of 2020, which is one of the longest droughts for any team inside the top 10 of the world rankings. This Liquid roster have shown glimpses of form that could see them win an event, but they don’t have the quality to finish teams off and win the big series.

G2 Esports have also struggled with consistency over the last 12 months, with the lowest of the lows coming last month when they didn’t qualify for the IEM Rio Major. G2 finished third-fourth at the BLAST Premier Spring Final and ESL Pro League Season 16, showing they can perform at the big events, while they have beaten the best teams in the world many times. G2 will enter this event off the back of a six-week break from all competitive Counter-Strike, which will have given them plenty of time to get ready for possibly their last event of the year. Their newest additions, Justin “jks” Savage and Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen, have been with the organisation for just over three months, and these last six weeks will have given them time to mesh with their new team.

This game is a tough one to pick, and the esports betting sites agree. We will be taking the overs in the total maps market as this series looks destined to go the distance.
