The post HellRaisers vs Nordavind betting tips – ESEA S33: Premier Europe appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>HellRaisers and Nordavind will meet on the battlefield this Tuesday in Week 1 of the European ESEA Season 33: Premier Division, where we will see 20 CS:GO esports teams duke it out for a ticket to the LAN finals and one of the two spots at the Season 33 Global Challenge.
HellRaisers earned their place at the online tournament by finishing 11th-12th at ESL Pro League Season 10 – Europe back in November, marking their first appearance in an ESEA event since the Ukrainian CS:GO team won the Season 21 Europe Finals in May 2016. A lot has changed in the intervening years, but Kirill “ANGE1” Karasiow is still the in-game leader. He is joined by ?ygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas, Vadim “Flarich” Karetin, Igor “crush” Shevchenko, and Ivan “AiyvaN” Semenets, who arrived in December as a replacement for Alexander “scoobyxie” Marynych.
HellRaisers made a short appearance at the DreamHack Open Leipzig 2020: European Open Qualifier, where they crashed out in round one after suffering a 14-16 loss to Helsinki REDS. In late January, HellRaisers also took a swing at the LEGENDS.BET L33T CUP, where they swept Axis twice and Copenhagen Flames to secure a spot in the playoffs.
Nordavind enter ESEA S33 following a successful run through Europe Minor Championship – Rio 2020 Open Qualifiers #2, where the Norwegian squad defeated NoPlan (16-2), IQFIGHTERS (16-6), FATE Esports (16-8), ex-Virtus.pro (16-8) and PACT (2-1) to book a spot in the next stage of Rio Major qualifiers.

Earlier this month, Ruben “RUBINO” Villarroel and his men also took a swing at the European open qualifiers for the inaugural season of the newly announced FLASHPOINT CS:GO league, but they lost their opening fixture against Team Secret (1-2) and thus crashed out of the event on day one.
The Norwegians saw a fair amount of success in domestic tournaments last year, finishing second at Telialigaen – Spring 2019 and Telialigaen – Fall 2019, third at the UCC Summer Smash and first at both the LOOT.BET Smack My Beach Cup and ESEA Season 32: Advanced Division – Europe.
Unlike HellRaisers, who have made only one change to their roster in 2020, Nordavind have acquired two new members in ex-Gamer Legion rifler Kevin “HS” Tarn and former Heroic AWPer Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassen. The latter also played as a stand-in for mousesports at cs_summit 5, where he claimed his first CS:GO LAN title.
HS arrived at Nordavind as a replacement for Haris “H4RR3” Had?i? and NaToSaphiX took over from H?kon “hallzerk” Fj?rli, who joined former Ninjas in Pyjamas legends at the newly formed Dignitas CS:GO roster.
While we agree that HellRaisers are the stronger team, the odds make us believe esports bookmakers slightly underestimate Nordavind.
These two last met at the GG.Bet Chicago Invitational in June 2019, where the Ukrainian squad won 16-8. Since then Nordavind have acquired two new members and HellRaisers have added three new players to their roster, meaning the previous results don’t hold any weight for this betting prediction.
HellRaisers will enter the match with better form than Nordavind, who have played only a few matches with their new core, but the Scandinavian side’s new-look roster is performing well.
Both sides have the same favourite map, Overpass, where HellRaisers hold a 54% win rate in 13 games. Nordavind have won 71% of their seven games played on the map and are also on a five-game winning streak there. Nordavind have a better record on Inferno (70%-40%) and Nuke (71%-44%), but they are at a heavy disadvantage on Mirage (0%-60%), Train (0%-50%) and Vertigo (25%-80%).
Because this will be a best-of-one (Bo1) bout, we expect the teams to stick to what they know and pick Overpass. For that reason, we believe Nordavind will keep the match to within three rounds and maybe even pinch the win.

]]>The post Airborne vs ORDER ESEA S33 Premier Div Australia Betting Tips appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>Airborne and ORDER are set to clash in week three of the CS:GO E-Sports Entertainment Association (ESEA) Season 33 Premier Division – Australia this Monday, January 27, in what will be the third fixture of the season for the reigning Australian ESEA champions ORDER and only second fixture for Airborne.
So far this ESEA season, ORDER already bested FURY (16-2) and Paradox Gaming (16-11) and are now set to make it three in a row against Airborne. Those two matches were played last week, on Monday, January 20 and ORDER have not play a single match since.
Prior to their opening two fixtures at ESEA, ORDER participated at IEM Katowice 2020 Oceania Closed Qualifier where they made it to the upper bracket finals eventually losing to Renegades. A day later they suffered a reverse sweep from ex-Genuine in the lower bracket finals ending the event in third place. With those results under their belt, ORDER are holding onto a 4-2 record on the year and will fancy their chances to make it 5-2 this Monday, when they face off against Airborne.
Unlike ORDER, who got off to a flying start in ESEA S33, Airborne lost their first and only match of the season against FURY (13-16) on Thursday. The match was their only game to date. Before Airborne set foot into ESEA S33, they as well participated at IEM Katowice 2020 Oceania Closed Qualifier but crashed out of the event fairly quickly. Following a 0-2 defeat against Renegades in quarter-finals, Airborne defeated Ground Zero (2-0) in the lower bracket but failed to deliver against Avant Gaming in round two (1-2), thus ended the qualifiers at the fifth-sixth place.
While Airborne results are far from impressive, it’s also worth noting that the team lacks some serious playtime, seeing how they were involved in only eight fixtures since September 2019, when they participated in CS:GO LPL Pro League Season 3. The team, did win the tournament while playing under the name “monky see monky do”.
Esports bookmakers have ORDER priced as heavy favourites to defeat Airborne, which should not surprise anyone, considering ORDER are the reigning Australian ESEA champions. AIrborne are a stack of amateur players, who clearly lack the quality needed to derail the third-best Australian CS:GO team.
Airborne are entering this match with a 2-3 online record, while ORDER are 3-2 in online matches. Looking at their results, there are two fixtures that stand out. Airborne lost to AVANT (1-2) and FURY (13-16), while ORDER defeated both 2-0 and 16-2 respectively. That alone indicates ORDER should be better prepared to win here, yet there is another thing we have to consider.
In terms of players and their form, ORDER squad is averaging 1.31 rating at ESEA. Their best player is Ricardo “Rickeh” Mulholland with 1.72 ratings, while Karlo “USTILO” Pivac holds onto an underwhelming 0.97. Airborne on the other side average 1.03 rating as a team, with Dalton “swede” Vinar (1.20) as their best player and Edward “Chub” Lee (0.65) as the worst player on the team.
In terms of map things aren’t looking promising for Airborne either. As a team, they have played only 11 maps together and failed to see much success on any of them. Their best map is Overpass, where Airborne won half of their games. ORDER on the other side are fairly successful on Train (67%), Inferno (70%) and Dust II (67%), where Airborne hold onto a 0%, 25% and 0% WR respectively.
ORDER appear to be a far superior team to Airborne in all aspects of the game, from map pool to player’s quality and experience. Airborne have little to no chance of winning here and we won’t count on any upsets this Monday.
