BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Showdown
MOUSESPORTS vs GODSENT CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | mouz $1.38 at GG Bet | GODSENT $3.10 at GG Bet |
| When: | November 25, 2020 at 13:30 CET |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier) |
Mousesports enter this match on the heels of a ninth-12th finish at Intel Extreme Masters XV Beijing Online: Europe. Despite their relatively low placement, mouz impressed with a win against BIG (2-1) and two close series against G2 Esports (1-2) and Astralis (1-2).
On the other side, things are not looking too bright for GODSENT. They have not played an official match in three week, and they recently downgraded their roster by benching in-game leader Kevin “kRYSTAL” Amend in favour of ex-c0ntact coach Luka “?emi?” Vukovi?.
GODSENT would struggle against mouz regardless, but the loss of kRYSTAL makes it very obvious how this game will go.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs CLOUD9 CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | NiP $1.45 at GG Bet | C9 $2.82 at GG Bet |

Even though Cloud9’s roster holds promise, it’s very difficult to side with them over Ninjas in Pyjamas after their losses against OG (0-2) and Virtus.pro (0-2). That is not to say C9 are a lost cause, but they have definitely not impressed thus far.
NiP recently attended IEM Beijing, where they took down G2 Esports (2-1) but lost to Heroic (1-2) and BIG (1-2). Even though NiP did not make it far, it’s hard to be overly critical of their results since they took at least one map off the no.2, no.4 and no.11 teams in the world.
Cloud9’s roster has potential, but as it stands now, that’s all they can offer. NiP have shown a lot more of late and should have no issues securing a clean sweep.

FAZE CLAN vs MIBR CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | FaZe $1.81 at GG Bet | MiBR $2.03 at GG Bet |

We were a bit sceptical about FaZe Clan’s future after they lost Nikola “NiKo” Kova? to G2 Esports, but they have proved us wrong by reaching the quarter-finals of IEM Beijing. They also swept the eventual champions, Team Vitality, which is nothing to sneeze at.
MiBR recently attended the second season of FLASHPOINT, where they left a lot to be desired. While they managed to defeat Team Envy (2-1) and forZe (2-0), MiBR stood no chance against BIG (1-2).
MiBR do fine against weaker teams, but they lack the quality to compete with the top dogs. While FaZe should win this one with ease, we will play it safe and settle for an outright bet.

NICORACT vs ANTONYZERG SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| SCII Betting Odds: | Nicoract $1.11 at GG Bet | AntonyZerg $5.75 at GG Bet |
| When: | November 25, 2020 at 20:00 MSK |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/cybermos_rts) |
Anton “AntonyZerg” Rud has met with Vitaliy “Nicoract” Mishin only once before – back in April at StarLine Junior League Season 3 – when the Russian StarCraft 2 pro swept his Kazakhstani opponent 2-0. Since then, AntonyZerg has played seven games and managed only two wins.
AntonyZerg’s lack of success against big names in the SCII scene does not inspire much confidence, but we are even more concerned with his lack of playtime. In his defence, all of AntonyZerg’s last seven games took place this month, but that does not mean much if we consider Nicoract has played well over 160 fixtures since their last clash.
Expect another 2-0 win for Nicoract.

COUGUAR vs DEEDAN SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| SCII Betting Odds: | Couguar $1.17 at GG Bet | DeeDan $4.57 at GG Bet |
| When: | November 25, 2020 at 20:00 MSK |

Vitaliy “Couguar” Roshchin is the higher-rated player (+355), we still feel like Daniil “DeeDan” Aulov is paying way over the odds at StarCraft II betting sites.
The biggest factor that works against Couguar is his lack of playtime. Not only is he 2-4 since late September, but Couguar has only played one fixture in the last 30 days.
On the other side, we are a bit sceptical with DeeDan’s relatively poor 45% win rate. However, at $4.57, he is massively overpriced and worth a shot.
