The post 00NATION announce new European CS:GO roster appeared first on Esport Bet.

]]>
Hours after announcing that they would be closing the Brazilian part of their operation, 00NATION have announced their new European Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster.

Thomas ��birdfromsky�� Due-Frederiksen will lead the new line-up, which consists of Florian ��syrsoN�� Rische, Jon ��JDC�� de Castro, Nikolaj ��niko�� Kristensen and Tim ��susp�� Angstrom, with Faruk ��pita�� Pita as coach.

The Norwegian organisation has followed the lead of Cloud9 and Team Liquid over the last year to move from a North or South American roster to a full European squad for their CS:GO teams.

According to a statement from 00NATION, the former Brazilian roster of Marcelo ��coldzera�� David, Eduardo ��dumau�� Wolkmer, Bruno ��latto�� Rebelatto, Lucas ��nqz�� Soares and Gabriel ��NEKIZ�� Schenato will be picked up and supported by a local investor.

“Building two separate companies, one in Brazil and the other in Europe, caused great pressure on the teams and resources,” the announcement stated.

“We came to the conclusion that it would make much more sense for Brazilian management and investors to take over Brazilian operations.”

The statement also said that ��the new project will be totally Brazilian, and all the lineups and staff will move into the new organisation��.

The new roster debuted under the 00NATION tag against Sampi in Pinnacle Cup V on Tuesday, where they dominated the all-Slovakian team 16-6 and 16-7.

Brazilian esports organization 00NATION signed Gabriel “NEKIZ” Schenato on Friday, weeks after he was benched from paiN Gaming.

The player will replace Leonardo “?n9xtz?” Santos on the Counter-Strike team following his departure from paiN late last month.

NEKIZ has represented paiN three times, the first dating as far back as March 2017. He was on the team for five months before joining Luminosity in August 2017. NEKIZ returned to paiN after over two years with Luminosity and stayed with the group till August 2022.

During his second stint with paiN, NEKIZ was a part of the roster that won competitions like the DreamHack Open January 2021 North America and Extreme Sports League Challenger League Season 41 North America. The team also competed in the Professional Gamers League Major Stockholm 2021, where they were eliminated in 20-22nd place.

NEKIZ moved to O PLANO in August 2022 but was back to paiN by October of that year. In his third stint, paiN peaked at 13th place on the world rankings. The squad competed in the ESL Pro League S17, where they slipped through the first round of playoffs. paiN also competed in the Paris Major Americas RMR and secured a place in the main event.

The team did not fare well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and were eliminated in the Challengers stage in 17th-19th place. paiN also finished in last place in the ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, which likely led to the roster revamp.

NEKIZ was moved to the bench last month and set up for transfer. He leaves paiN with a 1.04 average rating.

NEKIZ now joins 00NATION, which include Marcelo “?coldzera?” David, Lucas “?nqz?” Soares, Eduardo “?dumau?” Wolkmer, and Bruno “?latto?” Rebelatto.

The 00NATION roster notably won the Pinnacle Cup Brasil 1 but have mostly produced disappointing results following the departure of Epitacio “?TACO?” de Melo. The in-game leader left the team’s active lineup in February this year.

Organised by Relog Media, Brazy Party is a European Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament slated to kick off on Wednesday, April 26, featuring 16 CS:GO teams and a $333,000 prize pool.

ETERNAL FIRE vs APEKS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: EF +100 at BetOnline | Apeks -138.89 at BetOnline
When: April 26, 2023 | 11:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/Relog_EN)

Eternal Fire have recently finished their BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR B campaign in 14th place, thus missed out on qualifying for the Paris Major. Their sole victory in the event came against the struggling Astralis (16-4); however, despite losing the remaining three bouts, it’s not fair to criticise the Turkish CS:GO squad too much.

At the RMR, EF had to face Ninjas in Pyjamas (11-16), Cloud9 (16-19), and Aurora Gaming (1-2), which are all solid teams. So even though Eternal Fire went 1-3, those losses aren’t that concerning.

Apeks got back on their feet after a poor stretch of results in March with a runner-up finish at CCT West Europe Series #2; however, they’ve since failed to achieve much. The international roster performed well at RMR A, where they placed sixth with a 3-2 record; however, Apeks only had to defeat GamerLegion, Sprout, and B8.

So as much as we can praise Apeks for qualifying for the Major, they haven’t shown much more than EF. Regardless of Eternal Fire’s lack of success at recent tournaments, they’re just as strong as Apeks and have a realistic chance to win or, at the very least, force a close series.

PAIN GAMING vs INTO THE BREACH CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: PaiN -175.44 at BetOnline | ITB +125 at BetOnline
When: April 26, 2023 | 14:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/Relog_EN)

PaiN Gaming and Into the Breach have never clashed before, but according to the latest CS:GO betting odds, the Brazilian should have a better chance of winning their debut meeting.

Since the start of April, paiN Gaming have placed second at BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2023 and BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR, to which they added a semifinal run at ESEA Cash Cup Circuit 2023: North American Cup #4. In contrast, ITB’s only notable achievement of the year was finishing European RMR A in third place.

Yet, ITB finishing third at the RMR with wins against Sprout (16-7), Virtus.pro (16-13), and B8 (2-1) means more than paiN Gaming placing second at their regional RMR, where they won only against Paqueta Gaming, Complexity, and Fluxo.

Talent-wise paiN Gaming and ITB look evenly matched, and there isn’t much to separate them based on their recent showings. This looks like a coin-flip match, so we have to take Into the Breach at plus money.

OG vs GODSENT CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: OG -303.03 at BetOnline | GOD +225 at BetOnline
When: April 26, 2023 | 17:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/Relog_EN)

OG have been struggling to find traction this season, and while they have had some moments of greatness, the international squad have yet to win a tournament. Last week, OG attended Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2023, when they reached the final round of Group B lower bracket and lost against the eventual champions, Team Vitality (1-2).

So even though their placement (seventh-eighth) doesn’t look good on paper, OG played well but once again found themselves in a position where they got close to achieving great things only to slip at the final hurdle.

Now, OG will face GODSENT, who they last met three weeks ago at Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023: European Qualifier and won (14-16, 16-4, 16-11). That match should be a good indication of what will happen on Wednesday, but we don’t expect GODSENT to collect a single map this time.

OG would’ve won 2-0 at the start of April had they not made a few misplays on Inferno. At the offered CS:GO betting odds, we like OG to win in two maps.

OG -1.5 maps

BIG vs 00NATION CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: BIG -400 at BetOnline | 00Nation +275 at BetOnline
When: April 26, 2023 | 20:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/Relog_EN)

BIG came two series away from qualifying for the Paris Major but lost the European RMR Decider against Cloud9 (12-16, 13-16) after finishing RMR B in 10th place. But despite their underwhelming performance at the RMR, BIG found traction at Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2023, where they defeated MOUZ (16-6), and Heroic (2-1), before getting eliminated from the quarterfinals by the eventual champions, Team Vitality (0-2).

Their next opponent, 00 Nation, recently placed second at Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023: South American Qualifier, marking their most notable result of 2023. But that doesn’t detract from their underwhelming performances at ESL Pro League Season 17 and BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR, where they placed 13th-16th.

On a more positive note, 00 Nation had their moment at ESL Pro League, where they defeated Ninjas in Pyjamas (2-1) and stole a map from Natus Vincere (1-2).

BIG dropped the ball at the RMR and IEM Rio, but they had to play some of the world’s top teams and still performed relatively well. However, the morale can’t be high in the German camp, so we prefer 00 Nation with a map advantage.

00 Nation +1.5 maps

With the BLAST.tv Paris Major starting on May 8, the Americas RMR will start this Thursday with 16 teams congregating in Monterrey, Mexico. Every regional RMR will be played in a 16-team Swiss System format with best-of-one series in the first round. ESB’s best bets for FURIA vs TeamOne, Liquid vs 00Nation, Imperial vs EG, and paiN Gaming vs Paqueta are below, with odds provided by the best esports betting sites.


FURIA vs TEAMONE CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: FURIA -1000 at BetOnline | TEAMONE +550 at BetOnline
When: April 6, 2023 | 14:00 EDT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/BLASTPremier)

FURIA enter the Paris.tv Major Americas RMR as the second-ranked team, with only Team Liquid sitting higher in the ESL world rankings. The world no.11 has struggled in its last two events, finishing 9th-12th at ESL Pro League 17 and fifth-eighth at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Americas. FURIA will be heavy favourites to finish in the top five and qualify for the Major, and we don’t expect TeamOne to cause them too many problems in a best-of-one series.

TeamOne, ranked no.50 in the world, drew the short straw in their first round series. They have been competing in IEM Dallas qualifiers and ESL Challenger League Season 44 North America, demonstrating that their form is inferior to that of their Brazilian counterparts.

FURIA are the overwhelming favourites in this match, and they should easily win the first series.

FURIA -7.5 rounds

TEAM LIQUID vs 00NATION CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: TL -250 at BetOnline | 00 +175 at BetOnline
When: April 6, 2023 | 14:00 EDT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/BLASTPremier)

Team Liquid are coming off a disappointing ESL Pro League 17 finish in which they finished 13th-16th and were eliminated 0-2 in the first round of the playoffs by paiN Gaming. They suffered the same fate at their next event, the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Americas, losing 1-2 to paiN Gaming. The world no.6 and highest-ranked team at the RMR will be looking for a change of form, and with a lot of lower-ranked teams to contend with, Liquid should finish in the top two. They last faced 00Nation at IEM Cologne 2022, winning 2-1 after the first two maps went to overtime.

00Nation’s ranking has risen from 47th in the world at the beginning of March to 24th as of April 3, with their rise owing to strong performances at the IEM Rio 2023 South America Closed Qualifier and ESL Pro League Season 17. The all-Brazilian roster has been in excellent form recently, and Liquid will be aware of how close their previous series with 00Nation was.

This series is shaping up to be one of the best of the Americas RMR’s opening rounds, and we will be taking overs in the total rounds market.

IMPERIAL vs EVIL GENIUSES CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: IMPERIAL -227.27 at BetOnline | EG +162 at BetOnline
When: April 6, 2023 | 17:00 EDT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/BLASTPremier)

Although Imperial did not advance past the group stage at ESL Pro League Season 17, they did defeat Complexity, EG Black, and paiN Gaming in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Americas to win the event and qualify for the BLAST Premier Spring Final. Imperial have risen from world no.42 in February to world no.28 today as a result of performances at S-Tier events. The all-Brazilian roster enters the RMR on a three-match winning streak, and they are heavy favourites to defeat Evil Geniuses in their first series.

Evil Geniuses did not qualify for the Americas RMR, but they were given a spot as a result of Detonate’s inability to submit a roster for the event. Without a doubt, Evil Geniuses have struggled over the last six months. The North American roster has only won four of its last 17 series, and we don’t see that streak ending in this series.

Imperial are in top form, while Evil Geniuses are not. We’ll be backing Imperial to win this series at the rounds line with BetOnline.

Imperial -3.5 rounds

PAIN GAMING vs PAQUETA CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: PG -400 at BetOnline | PAQUETA +275 at BetOnline
When: April 6, 2023 | 17:00 EDT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/BLASTPremier)

PaiN Gaming have been one of the more consistent CS:GO teams in the Americas region, with a win rate of 70% over the last three months. In the last month alone, the all-Brazilian roster has risen from 30th to 15th in the ESL world rankings. After being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs at ESL Pro League 17 and finishing second at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Americas, paiN enter the Americas RMR as one of the favourites to gain direct entry into the Major’s Legends Stage.

Paqueta will compete in their first S-Tier event after qualifying for the BLAST.tv Paris Major RMR by finishing fifth in the South American Closed Qualifier. However, this level of Counter-Strike is far above what they have been competing at for some time. Coming up against paiN Gaming in their opening series will be a good reference point to see where they are at, but we don��t see them winning this match.

We’ll take paiN Gaming at -5.5, which we believe is a very generous line for a match that could be very one-sided.

paiN Gaming -5.5 rounds

The final week in the 17th season of the ESL Pro League will kick off on Tuesday with four best-of-three playoff series. Below you will find our best bets for FURIA vs Fnatic, Natus Vincere vs 00Nation, paiN Gaming vs Team Liquid and G2 Esports vs Movistar Riders, with odds provided by BetOnline.


FURIA vs FNATIC CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: FURIA -151.52 at BetOnline | Fnatic +110 at BetOnline
When: March 21, 2023 | 15:30 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/esl_csgo)

The third-place finisher from Group B, FURIA, will face the fourth-place finisher from Group A, Fnatic, in the first series of the day, with the winner advancing to face FaZe Clan in the second round of the playoffs.

FURIA only lost one series in the group stage, to MOUZ in the upper-bracket semifinal, before dropping to the lower bracket and defeating Movistar Riders and BIG to finish third in the group. With the likes of Kiake “KSCERATO” Cerato and Rafael “saffee” Costa performing well, the world number 13 should be considered a smoky to win the ESL Pro League Season 17 title. FURIA can beat anyone on their day, and if they play well on Tuesday, they can easily win this series 2-0 over Fnatic.

Fnatic finishing fourth in Group A after losing to Outsiders and G2 Esports would have to be seen as a pass mark, as they were the third-ranked team in the group and took G2 to all three maps in the lower-bracket final. They did, however, struggle to get past Eternal Fire and IHC to eventually qualify, so their form is a little shaky heading into the playoffs.

Both FURIA and Fnatic are solid teams on their day, so with so much at stake in this series, we expect a close battle that goes all the way to three maps.

NATUS VINCERE vs 00 NATION CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: NaVi -1428.57 at BetOnline | 00 +650 at BetOnline
When: March 21, 2023 | 15:30 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/esl_csgo)

World number five Natus Vincere will face the 00Nation, ranked 30th, with these two teams meeting for the first time.

Natus Vincere were one of the surprise losers in Group D’s first round, losing 1-2 to FORZE and dropping into the lower bracket. From there, NaVi won three games in a row over Astralis, Rare Atom, and Team Spirit to qualify in third place. At -1428.57 on esports betting sites, NaVi are expected to win this series easily.

00Nation were one of the surprise packages to emerge from the group stage, defeating Ninjas in Pyjamas in the fourth-place decider to advance from Group C. However, with a massive task ahead of them in the first round of the playoffs, this series appears to be the end of their run.

Natus Vincere are heavy favourites in this series, and there is no doubt that they deserve to be, but they are too short to bet on the moneyline. As such, we will be taking the favourites at the rounds line of -12.5.

NaVi -13.5 rounds

PAIN GAMING vs TEAM LIQUID CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: paiN +275 at BetOnline | Liquid -400 at BetOnline
When: March 21, 2023 | 19:00 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/esl_csgo)

The third series of the day will feature paiN Gaming, an all-Brazilian team, taking on Team Liquid, a mostly North American team. With paiN ranked 25th in the world and Liquid ranked third, we have two of the best teams from the Americas competing in this series.

paiN Gaming lost their first-round match against Ninjas in Pyjamas before winning three straight games to finish third in Group C, defeating Rooster, OG, and Grayhound. The Brazilians will enter this series against Team Liquid with confidence, having defeated them at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown in April 2022.

Team Liquid are among the most inconsistent sides on the Counter-Strike professional scene, and their run in the group stage proves it. They lost to Rare Atom in the first round before falling to Team Spirit in the second, sending TL straight to the last chance stage. With their backs against the wall, Liquid managed to win four straight maps in back-to-back series over Rare Atom and Astralis to secure the final spot in the playoffs.

This is shaping up to be one of the better series in the first round of the playoffs, so we can expect a three-map thriller between these two rivals from the Americas.

G2 ESPORTS vs MOVISTAR RIDERS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: G2 -2000 at BetOnline | MR +750 at BetOnline
When: March 21, 2023 | 19:00 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/esl_csgo)

The final series of the day will pit world number one G2 Esports against world number 24 Movistar Riders, with the winner meeting ENCE in the second round of the playoffs.

G2 Esports started ESL Pro League S17 as the betting favourite to win Group A and the title, but they were defeated by a rampant Cloud9 in the upper-bracket semifinal and dropped to the lower bracket. That defeat to Cloud9 ended their 16-match winning streak, which began with the BLAST Premier World Final at the end of 2022 and included their unbeaten run at IEM Katowice 2023. G2 may have needed that loss to bring them back down to earth, and now that they’ve had time to practise and work on their flaws, they should be at their best in this series.

Movistar Riders struggled in Group B, losing to Heroic in the opening round and Movistar Riders in the lower-bracket semis. The Spanish team struggled with consistency, and they were easily defeated by two teams ranked higher than them. Movistar are not competing at the same level as G2 and they look to have a huge task on their hands to even win a map against the world��s best.

G2 will be looking to make a statement in this series, so we’ll take them at the -13.5 rounds handicap.

Team Vitality maintained their unbeaten streak in ESL Pro League Season 17 on Sunday, defeating FaZe Clan 2-0 in the upper-bracket final of Group C to book a place in the quarterfinals.

Vitality are yet to lose a single map in the competition, recording consecutive 2-0 victories over Grayhound, OG, and FaZe to enter the playoffs as one of the favourites.

Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut maintained his outstanding form at ESL Pro League 17, finishing the upper-bracket final with a rating of 1.40.

That performance brought his overall rating to an astounding 1.61 across six maps, keeping him atop the player rankings ahead of Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov.

Although FaZe were defeated in the upper-bracket final, both maps went to overtime, and they were in command of Anubis after taking a 14-1 lead into half-time, but they went on to lose 18 of the next 20 rounds and went down 19-16 in overtime.

FaZe will be disappointed with their missed opportunity on Anubis, as they only needed two wins in the second half to take the map.

PaiN Gaming won the mid-bracket final, defeating Grayhound in a three-map thriller to secure a spot in the round of 16 as a high seed.

In the lower-bracket semifinals, Ninjas in Pyjamas won their series 2-0 against OG, while 00Nation defeated Grayhound 2-1 after the Brazilians were defeated by the Australian team in the lower bracket a few days earlier.

The lower-bracket final pitted Ninjas in Pyjamas against 00Nation, with the latter winning 2-1 to advance to the round of 16 as a low seed.

The final group of ESL Pro League 17 will begin on Wednesday, with the likes of Natus Vincere, Team Liquid, ENCE, and Team Spirit competing for the final four playoff spots.

00NATION will field former Young Gods player Leonardo “n9xtz” Santos in ESL Pro League Season 17 in place of team captain Epitacio “?TACO?” de Melo, who will be absent due to personal reasons.

While n9xtz will even out the players in TACO’s absence, Marcelo “?coldzera?” David will presumably take over the leadership reins. In a statement to Dust2.com.br, 00NATION confirmed the news and promised to “clarify the matter soon”.

N9xtz took time off professional gaming in November 2022 and has no record of playing in an official match since October last year. In 2022, he averaged a 0.94 impact and 0.98 rating over 39 maps.

TACO is not expected to stay off the competitive scene for long and will likely return to 00NATION’s lineup after the conclusion of the ESL Pro League.

Fernando “fer” Alvarenga and Ricardo “fox” Pacheco were also registered as reserves in addition to n9xtz. While fer is a substitute, it is unlikely that the former Imperial player will feature for 00NATION in any CS:GO tournament anytime soon.

The Brazilian lineup now consists of Bruno “latto” Ribeiro, Lucas “nqz” Soares, Eduardo “dumau” Dolkmer, Marcelo “coldzera” David, n9xtz, and Olavo “chucky” Napole?o as head coach.

00NATION were placed in Group C of ESL Pro League Season 17 with teams like Ninjas in Pyjamas, FaZe Clan, and Team Vitality. The team’s first match in the tournament will be against OG and is slated for March 8.

00NATION and 9z Team have announced the completion of a player swap, with Lucas “nqz” Soares moving to 00NATION and Santino “try” Rigal returning to 9z. The two Counter-Strike: Global Offensive snipers have officially swapped teams between the Argentinian and Brazilian esports franchises in preparation for the 2023 season.

An earlier report in January had indicated that a player exchange between the two teams was imminent, even though nqz was also in talks to join Fluxo at the time. This report has now been confirmed with the official announcements made by both teams.

After spending six months with the team, Nqz has decided to leave 9z. During his time with the team, Nqz was the highest-rated player, boasting a 1.19 rating. The 17-year-old Brazilian was instrumental in helping the South American team qualify for the IEM Rio Major, posting a 1.17 rating during their third-place finish in the IEM Road to Rio Americas RMR tournament.

Nqz confirmed his move to 00Nation to his fans on his official Twitter page, and looks forward to commencing his new journey.

“Happy to announce my new home, looking forward to the new stage and even more looking forward to the chance to represent this giant organization with these great players,” Nqz wrote.

He also bid farewell to his former team and teammates in a Twitlonger post. He thanked the fans of the South American franchise for their continuous support.

“I would like to start by thanking all of you, fans from all over South America, who, even without knowing me, supported me with open arms and encouraged all the moments that this shirt represented, it takes a lot of courage and affection for that, and I love you very much. everyone and I am grateful for everything I lived, experienced and got here,” he said.

“To everyone who has been with me during this time @maxgzez @dgtcsgo @budafps @ dav1deuS_ @roxfps @zakkfps @tgefps @siagfps, I am grateful for all that they have taught me and for all that we have been through together, I came into this team as a player and today I am leaving as a completely different person, you will always have a place in my heart.”

Try, on the other hand, left 00NATION and returned to 9z, the team he represented from February 2020 to January 2022. Despite 00NATION experiencing multiple setbacks, try remained a reliable player for the Brazilian team and ended his time there with a strong 1.13 rating. He was also the only member of the 00NATION lineup to achieve a 1.00+ rating during the IEM Rio Major Challenger Stage.

With the addition of nqz, 00NATION’s roster now consists of Marcelo “coldzera” David, Eduardo “dumau” Wolkmer, Bruno “latto” Rebelatto, and in-game leader Epitacio “TACO” de Melo, with Olavo “cky” Napole?o serving as coach.

9z’s lineup, on the other hand, includes Franco “dgt” Garcia, in-game leader Maximiliano “max” Gonzalez, David “dav1deuS” Tapia Maldonado, Nicol��s “buda” Kramer, and try, with Martin “rox” Molina on the bench.

The player swap marks a significant change for both 00NATION and 9z, with both teams looking to build on their recent performances and make a stronger push in the competitive CS:GO scene. Nqz will bring his impressive skills and experience to 00NATION, while try will look to make a splash in his return to 9z.

It remains to be seen how the player swap will impact the teams’ fortunes, but with both franchises boasting talented rosters and experienced coaches, fans can expect some exciting matches and top-notch gameplay from both sides in the coming season.

ESB��s free Rainbow Six Siege betting picks for Saturday focus on three R6S Brasileirao 2020 – Stage 3 bouts. Here are our selections for W7M Esports vs MiBR, Ninjas in Pyjamas vs 00Nation, and Team oNe vs FURIA Esports.


W7M ESPORTS vs MIBR R6S BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: W7M -384.62 at BetOnline | MiBR +249 at BetOnline
When: September 24, 2022 | 13:00 BRT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/R6EsportsBR)

W7M Esports lost against FaZe Clan (6-8) on the opening Playday, and while they bounced back with a win against FURIA (8-7), W7M left a lot to be desired with their performances. Seeing W7M go overtime in both games isn��t what we expected, and their total tally after two rounds is in stark contrast to their domination in Stages 1 and 2.

Some may argue that W7M��s newest signing Julio ��JULIO�� Giacomelli is to blame for the team��s poor showings, but that��s not entirely the case. Admittedly, he hasn��t been as good as he may hope, but he wasn��t poor either. Clearly, W7M need a bit more time to get back to their winning ways, but the tournament��s format isn��t too kind to teams that start slow.

MiBR won their opening match of Brasileirao 2022 – Stage 3, edging past FURIA (8-7) before they slipped against Ninjas in Pyjamas (4-7) on Sunday. It was a messy game but a relatively solid showing from MiBR, who entered the third stage of the season with low expectations.

W7M Esports are clearly the stronger team, but they haven��t shown much more than MiBR so far, so it��s not too crazy to believe MiBR might cook up an upset. It would likely doom W7M��s chances of reaching Six Invitational, but given their recent showings, W7M look very beatable.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs 00NATION R6S BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: NiP -181.82 at BetOnline | 00 +130 at BetOnline
When: September 24, 2022 | 14:00 BRT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/R6EsportsBR)

Ninjas in Pyjamas are 1-0-0-1 with a 5-7 loss against Team Liquid and a 7-4 victory over MiBR, which isn��t bad, but it��s not very good either. Against Liquid, Ninjas in Pyjamas played fairly well until the second half but have shown a lot more on the defending side against MiBR (1-4).

Overall, Ninjas in Pyjamas haven��t produced anything spectacular, yet they��ve still looked much better than 00Nation, who are 0-0-0-2. With defeats against Team oNe and FaZe Clan, 00Nation will need a miracle to finish the stage inside the top four, granted it��s not like anyone expects them to succeed.

With two ninth-place finishes from the first two Brasileirao 2022, 00Nation are clearly one of the weakest teams in the league, and having failed to make any roster changes; it��s not like that will change anytime soon.

00Nation won against NiP (3-1) when they met in May, but this is not a spot where you would doubt Ninjas in Pyjamas. We��re not getting very generous odds on NiP to win, and that��s fine. Even at $1.55, Ninjas in Pyjamas are a no-branier pick to defeat 00Nation.

TEAM ONE vs FURIA ESPORTS R6S BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: oNe +101 at BetOnline | FURIA -133.33 at BetOnline
When: September 24, 2022 | 16:00 BRT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/R6EsportsBR)

FURIA Esports have started R6S Brasileirao 2022 – Stage 3 poorly, with just two points from two overtime defeats against MiBR and W7M Esports. Although it��s not fair to point fingers, Diogo ��Fntzy�� Lima was arguably the main reason why FURIA haven��t achieved much, with his negative entry numbers and a 3% survival rate. Admittedly, a low survival rate is Fntzy��s main trait, but he often pairs it with high KD, which wasn��t the case at this stage (1-6).

Notably, all players on FURIA, except for Thiago ��Handy�� de S��, have negative ratings, so their issues are much deeper than just one player��s lack of form. But despite their disastrous record, FURIA could have easily won both games �C they had an almost perfect start against W7M (5-1 at half) and held a 6-5 lead against MiBR.

With small tweaks, FURIA can easily bounce back, and we have no reason to doubt them. And it seems like the top Rainbow 6 Siege betting sites fairly reflect that, seeing how they��re $1.75 favourited against FaZe Clan, who are 1-1-0-0 with wins against W7M (8-6) and 00Nation (7-1).

If we had to pick a side, we would take FURIA, but the current betting odds offer no value. FaZe Clan are good enough to compete with FURIA, and considering how many close affairs the opening week of R6S Brasileirao 2022 – Stage 3 has produced, we like overs at $2.23 better.

00 Nation kick off IEM Cologne with win over Astralis https://www.behindzioncurtain.com/00-nation-kick-off-iem-cologne-with-win-over-astralis/ https://www.behindzioncurtain.com/00-nation-kick-off-iem-cologne-with-win-over-astralis/#respond Wed, 06 Jul 2022 05:27:28 +0000 https://www.behindzioncurtain.com/?p=21535 ??In their first game of IEM Cologne 2022, 00 Nation went up against Astralis and secured a win over their Danish counterparts.

The post 00 Nation kick off IEM Cologne with win over Astralis appeared first on Esport Bet.

??In their first game of IEM Cologne 2022, 00 Nation went up against Astralis and secured a win over their Danish counterparts. The Norwegian franchise decimated Astralis in the best-of-one fixture, winning 16-6.

??This victory comes four days after 00 Nation made significant changes to their Counter-Strike roster. The squad now consists of the former GODSENT trio Epit��cio “TACO” de Melo, Bruno “latto” Rebelatto and Eduardo “dumau” Wolkmer, as well as Santino ��try�� Rigal, Marcelo ��coldzera�� David, coach Olavo “cky” Napole?o, analyst coach Alan “adr” Riveros, and manager Ricardo ��dead�� Sinigaglia.

??No one expected 00 Nation to dominate the match-up against Astralis the way they did. They prevailed over the Lukas ��gla1ve�� Rossander-led team with a 16-6 record on the Mirage map.

?At first, it appeared as though the match might be a back-and-forth affair, with Astralis gaining a few rounds on the T-side. However, the Danes were unable to get past the defense of their opponents, who won another five rounds to finish the first half with a score of 10-5.??

If the history of Counter-Strike has shown us anything is that games are more than capable of being won by the team on the losing side. Especially considering the fact that the counter-terrorists are a more straightforward faction to play on paper.

??00 Nation were able to maintain their momentum and win both the second pistol round and the anti-ecos that followed it in a convincing manner. Astralis were successful in stealing one round, but that was the only victory they would take.

??Given that this Astralis roster has been playing together for more than four months, their loss to 00 Nation comes as a huge surprise. On the other hand, TACO, latto, and dumau were only added to the South American squad four days ago, and the team has only competed in three official matches with them up until this point. ??Latto and Dumau, two of the players who came into the game later, finished on top of the scoreboard by the time the game was over. Latto had a 23-10 K/D ratio, and Dumau had a 19-15 scoreline.??

All 00 Nation players recorded kills in double-digits with try leading the team with 24 kills and coldzera with the least number of kills (12). As opposed to 00 Nation amazing record, no Astralis player posted 20 or more kills, with blameF leading the team with 18 kills. Gla1ve (8) and k0nfig (5) recorded the least number of kills.

??The South Americas had a great outing overall with four of five players finishing the game with over 1.00 ratings. Only coldzera finished the game with a 0.92 rating, try recorded the most ratings, posting a stellar 3.00 rating. Latto finished with 2.30, dumau and TACO registered 1.27 and 1.17 ratings respectively.??

The Danes, on the other hand, had four of their five players below the 1.0 ratings, with only blameF posting a 1.06 rating.
