]]>As the Six November 2020 Major in North America gets underway, Rainbow Six teams are beginning to prepare for their next matchup. One highly anticipated game sees DarkZero Esports face Spacestation Gaming on the 13th of November.
Both American teams have a long track record, already meeting each other nine times before this fixture. Although Spacestation Gaming have won three of the last five encounters, Rainbow Six betting sees DarkZero Esports as the clear favorites.
DarkZero Esports have not lost a match in their last five games, most recently defeating Oxygen in the US division for the NAL S1. In comparison, Spacestation Gaming have only won three of their previous five fixtures. The American squad lost their last match to TSM in August, and the side will hope to find their form once again, shaking off the defeat.
So far, the matches in the PWL Dota 2 tournament haven’t disappointed fans, and the fixture between IO and Phoenix Gaming is a matchup expected to continue the trend. The game takes place on the 6th of November, where the two Asian organizations will battle it out.
According to most Dota 2 betting sites, Phoenix Gaming are the stronger side, making them the match’s favorites. The Chinese squad holds onto the second-place in the competition, only one point off the group leaders, For The Dream. Phoenix has drawn two of their games in the tournament, winning the other.
In comparison, IO have played three games and are yet to win, drawing twice and losing once. The Malaysian organization must go on the offensive if they hope to compete in this year’s PWL tournament, or they risk being written off by bettors and bookmakers alike.
Fortnite professionals and amateurs from Sub-Saharan African countries are preparing for the upcoming rAge Digital Fortnite Solos Cup set to begin on the 7th of November. The competition follows a best-of-one format with a 1v1 structure.
Currently, the tournament has over 80 entries hoping to get their hands on the R2,000 prize pool. The first competitor to win seven rounds in a battle will claim the match, moving onto the next bracket. Players must also capture video proof of their victories in order to claim any winnings.
The League of Legends fixture between Cyber Gaming and Inside Games takes place on the 7th of November. The two European sides have no history between them, forcing punters to take their recent form into account without any other stats, making betting on this one quite difficult.
Currently, most League of Legends betting sites view Inside Games as the favorites to win, although betting on this one is not as simple as it might seem. Inside Games have managed to win five matches, but they have also lost three times, showing that they are in no way invincible.
Cyber Gaming meanwhile have struggled this year, winning four and losing four. The Russian organization have the ability to defeat Inside Games, although they’ll need to improve their communication and assist one another in the mid to late parts of the fixture.
The Chilean esports organization Australs have begun preparations for their Valorant Versus duel with Estral Esports. The fixture is scheduled to take place on the 7th of November, when the two teams will meet for the first time.
Australs are yet to play in a formal tournament this year, giving Valorant betting sites minimal information to go on as far as current form goes. Estral Esports, on the other hand, have won their last two Valorant games, making them the favorites for this match.
One could argue that Estral are one of the leading contenders in the competition. The squad from Mexico have their eyes firmly placed on winning and getting a large share of the $30,000 prize pool.
Renegades have gone unbeaten in their last four Counter-Strike: Global Offensive fixtures. The Australian esports team have shown no signs of slowing down, going into their next IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 Oceania match full of confidence.
The CS: GO squad take on fellow Australian organization Vertex ESC on the 14th of November. Australian esports betting sites believe Renegades will take the victory and so are generally offering odds of $1.30 for the favorites.
Vertex are by no means a pushover though, winning three of their previous five games. The club recently lost 2-1 to ORDER in the MDL. The group’s strengths lie on both the Dust2 and Vertigo maps, where they hold 75% win rates.

]]>Everything is set for the final quarter-finals fixture at United Masters League (UM), where we will see forZe take on their compatriots Hard Legion Esports (HL) in their first meeting since HL’s inception in October 2019.
ForZe are entering the quarter-finals as the alpha dogs of the tournament, having finished the regular season with a perfect 3-0 record, which they achieved with clean sweeps against HAVU Gaming, Giants Gaming and Sprout. While their record is impressive on its own, forZe also finished the group stage with +26 round difference. Since their last appearance in UM, back in November, when forZe bested Sprout (2-0), the Russians participated in five tournaments. On the same day as their clash with Sprout, forZe also played Aristocracy at SECTOR:MOSTBET, where they lost 0-2 and ended the tournament at the seventh-eighth place.
Shortly after, forZe appeared at DreamHack Open Winter, where they started slow with a defeat against Tricked Esport, but soon found their stride and bested the likes of MARSKALK, GODSENT and avenged their defeat against Tricked to claim the title and $50,000 in tournament winnings. The Russian outfit kept their fire going into December and defeated HAVU in the finals of the ESEA S32: Premier Division – Europe Finals, to which they added another title-winning run at ESEA S32: Global Challenge.
After their incredible run through DreamHack Open Winter and ESEA, forZe entered EPICENTER 2019, which was their first S-Tier tournament since Berlin Major back in August. Going against all the odds, forZe defeated Virtus.pro and Evil Geniuses in the group stage, which secured them a spot in the playoffs, where their Cinderella story came to an end, as they dropped the match against Heroic and finished the tournament at the fifth-sixth spot.
While forZe were making waves in the European CS:GO esports scene, Hard Legion were fighting for survival at UM. Following their disastrous start of the season, where they lost to Giants (1-2) and HAVU (0-2), HL pocketed a forfeit win against ex-Windigo Gaming, to which they added two wins against GODSENT (2-1) and ex-Virtus.pro (2-0).
With three wins under their belt, HL secured the sixth spot on the standing and a ticket leading into the playoffs, where they are now set to clash with their toughest opponents of the season. Since their win against ex-Virtus.pro roster in December, HL made an appearance at Champions Cup Finals, IEM Katowice 2020 Europe Open Qualifier #2 and Great Universe Cup.
At Champions Cup, HL crashed out of the group stage after suffering two humiliating defeats against G2 Esports and Team Spirit but saw more success at IEM Katowice qualifiers. There they bested Unicorns of Love, Melbet Team and water gamers, however, failed to impress in the finals, where they lost to AGO (5-16, 10-16). Just recently HL also won their opening match at Great Universe Cup against a C-Tier stack EL’quvet.
ForZe most recent major change to their squad came in August, when they appointed Anatoliy “liTTle” Yashin as their coach, while HL decided to bench Anton “speed4k” Titov at the start of the month. He got replaced by Dmitry “rAge” Bolotov who is currently a trial member.
HL and forZe have not met before as organizations, however, we did see DreamEaters (roster was later signed by HL) defeat forZe (2-0) at Berlin Major, which would suggest HL have a legitimate chance of winning here. That said, HL’s poor form failed to convince us they are capable of such feat and the fact that their new signing played only five games with the team doesn’t help their cause either.
To date, rAge has played five fixtures for HL and averaged 1.05 Rating. His best performance came at IEM Katowice Europe open qualifier, where he averaged 1.45 Rating against water eaters, while his worst performance (0.45) came in the finals of the same tournament, where HL lost to AGO.
Both sides are entering this bout with a 3-2 record in their last five, however, it’s worth noting forZe have played significantly stronger teams compared to HL and considering they bested the likes of EG and Virtus.pro makes us believe they should have a fairly easy time defeating HL as well.
