?Team Finest lost 1-2 against HAVU in their opening match of the Elisa Invitational Fall 2021 Main Swiss Stage as $2.24 underdogs. Although an expected result, Finest should have done much better considering they took the series lead with 16-10 on Overpass before falling apart on Dust II (9-16) and Inferno (11-16).
KOVA enter this match with a 5-5 record from their last 10 outings, although most of those wins came against significantly weaker teams. What’s more, KOVA are 0-3 across their last three outings with losses against 1win (17-1), Tricked Esports (3-16), and world no.115 Coalesce (8-16).
Even though we don’t have high expectations for Team Finest, they are a much better team than KOVA. The Finns are struggling for form and shouldn’t really threaten Guy “anarkez” Trachtman’s squad. At the offered CS:GO betting odds, we’re happy to take a shot with Finest to win in straight maps.

?Nigma Galaxy (formerly Galaxy Racer) have managed only two wins across their last nine outings (2-7), and even those came against two unranked teams in Underdogs (16-8) and Ungentium (16-6). Galaxy’s recent results show three losses against GORILLAZ (6-16), Dignitas (1-2) and hREDS (1-2).
As an academy team, Young Ninjas have the luxury of playing without high expectations, which seems to be benefiting the Swedish squad. They’re 4-2 across their last six, while their four losses across their last 10 came against Izako Boars, AGO, Tricked Esports, and Lyngby Vikings.
Even though Young Ninjas are an academy project, they have the needed quality to play at this tier and can beat out-of-form teams such as Nigma Galaxy. It could be a close one, but Young Ninjas should get it done.
