Past Matchups: Dignitas vs EnVyUs
EnVyUs won 10/11(90.9%) of matches played.

Analysis
Dignitas have recently been somewhat on point,recently beating HellRaisers with a 2-0 victory and also crushing unu.AiN with a 2-0 scoreline and steamrolling BLUEJAYS. EnVyUs,on the other hand, have been doing okay,their only recent win over Dignitas. Even then, it was a close match, with Dignitas scoring double digits on both maps. Quite evidently,Dignitas has had more recent successes than EnVyUs. The fragging capabilities here,however, favour EnVyUs, as their players are somewhat more skilled.

TL;DR
Personal odds: 60-40 EnVyUs
Lounge odds: 82-18 EnVyUs
Risk: Medium-High(7/10)
Bet: ICB-Low on Dignitas/Skip

Past Matchups: unu.AiN vs PENTA
unu.AiN won 2/2(100%) of the matches played.

Analysis
PENTA has been looking pretty decent(aside from their 0-2 steamroll from TQM) as of late. Of course,their new lineup have not produced stellar results,but the general cohesion and chemistry is getting better each game. unu.AiN, on the other hand, have been playing together for a very long time, since CopenhagenWolves to Reason to ex-Reason and now to unu.AiN. This lineup is definetly stronger in terms of teamwork. However, in terms of raw aim, PENTA has been playing somewhat inconsistently,and so has unu.AiN. This makes the game slightly risker. Apart from these factors, unu.AiN are definetely favoured due to their superior team chemistry and their previous win over PENTA.

TL;DR
Personal odds: 65-35 unu.AiN
Lounge odds: 65-35 unu.AiN
Risk: Medium-High(7/10)
Bet: Low on unu.AiN/Skip

Past Matchups: EnVyUs vs dignitas
EnVyUs won 8/9(88.9%) of the maps played.

Analysis
This is one of the first high tier matches in a long time. Both EnVyUs and dignitas have not been playing for about 20 days now, so this could be a quite risky match. EnVyUs have not been performing too well as of late, putting a somewhat bad fight against TQM and NaVi. apEX has been very inconsistent lately. On the other hand,dignitas is also not very much on form, having lost a BO3 against CSGL, the underdogs. Based on their match history against each other, the odds should rightfully be in favour of EnVyUs. However, looking at the recent matches, coupled with the fact that both teams have been rather inconsistent and inactive, makes this a pretty risky match to bet on.

TL;DR
Personal odds: 65-35 EnVyUs
Lounge odds: 76-24 EnVyUs
Risk: Medium-High(7/10)
Bet: Low on EnVyUs/ICB on dignitas

Past Matchups: ESC vs nEophyte
The two teams have never played against each other before.

Analysis
Not much to say here. ESC have been playing pretty badly in recent matches, doing poorly against melty. However,they have put up a fight againt Fraternetis,losing 14-16. nEophyte have been doing pretty well,dominating Majestic Lions and crushing Gunners. Prior to that,they also beat Enso 16-5. The prizepool is $2000,so both teams should be trying well to get that. However, the ESC lineup have demonstrated some bad plays and nEophyte have been slightly more on form. As such, I feel that this match is a 50-50


TL;DR
Personal odds: 50-50
Lounge odds: 64-36 ESC
Risk: High(8/10)
Bet: ICB-Low on nEophyte

Many Standins have appeared. Do NOT bet on this match. Skip.

Past Matchups: SkyRed vs Virtual Impact
The two teams have never played against each other before.

Analysis
SkyRed has been looking pretty bad lately,having been losing to teams they should have beaten. When the lineup left the SkyRed organisation, it was actually discovered that the team manager told the players not to play seriously. Furthermore, crazyguy has been on a serious slump and his performance has dipped drastically. d@rklord is playing very terribly now as well. Coupled with the fact that this is a BO1 and generally a low tier match, gives a chance for an upset here. However, Virtual Impact is a much lower team in terms of skill, having poor raw fragging power and inferior aim to the SkyRed lineup. VImpact have also been said to have disbanded their lineup(proof[www.facebook.com]).

TL;DR
Personal odds: 70-30 SkyRed
Lounge odds: 82-18 SkyRed
Risk: Medium-High(7/10)
Bet: Poor odds, Skip/ICB on VI
