TEAM FALCONS vs 3DMAX CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Team Falcons enter the ThunderPick World Championship 2024<\/a> as the team to watch, having added Counter-Strike: Global Offensive legend Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev to the lineup on a three-month loan. While the return of the Ukrainian player has put the Falcons under the spotlight, we should not overreact to it.<\/p>\n

S1mple has played just one official match on CS2 and has been inactive since late 2023. So, it is fair to question whether the 27-year-old can help the Falcons find more traction after losing nine of their last ten series.<\/p>\n

It does not help that Team Falcons have not played a single match since BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024<\/a> three weeks ago.<\/p>\n

3DMAX are 4-6 from their last ten and have only beaten Rhyno Esports, PARIVISION, CYBSHOKE, and TSM over that stretch. However, that is no reason to have them priced at $2.52 against an out-of-shape, ring-rusty squad that will field a player who has been out of the competitive scene for a year.<\/p>\n

VIRTUS.PRO vs UNPAID CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nVP $1.15 at GG Bet<\/a> | UNPAID $5.25 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nOctober 21, 2024 | 14:30 CEST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nTwitch (https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/gridesports)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The best Counter-Strike betting sites<\/a> have Virtus.pro priced as $1.15 favourites to defeat the ex-BLEED Esports squad. On the one hand, UNPAID have not shown much lately, but it is hard to praise Virtus.pro for their recent performance.<\/p>\n

Virtus.pro are a stacked team, but they only looked somewhat decent at Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024<\/a> after posting questionable results months prior. So, while they should be favoured because this is a quality lineup, this number would only make sense if UNPAID were to face an elite team.<\/p>\n

At the offered Counter-Strike betting odds, you have to take UPAID on the map handicap market. Even though they are still a bit shaky, we have seen better showings from Aleksandar “kassad” Trifunovi\u0107’s men since they cut ties with BLEED. Virtus.pro are also not consistent enough to be priced as such favourites.<\/p>\n
