ODDIK showed some signs of life in August, but their results over the last month leave much to be desired. They have managed just four wins over a 10-game stretch against regional opponents, which makes it difficult to believe ODDIK have what it takes to deliver in an international event.

BIG have been very up-and-down, with a few solid games at ESL Pro League Season 20 but just as many crushing losses against weaker opponents. That includes three defeats from their last four, losing to MongolZ, Monte, and ECSTATIC.

BIG look like the better team on paper, but they are inconsistent and have a win rate of better than 50% on just two maps: Nuke and Ancient. At $3.49, ODDIK are a solid pick for this best-of-one game.

FlyQuest will be looking to bounce back after three consecutive early exits from S-Tier tournaments, including a 21st-28th finish in ESL Pro League Season 20. However, that will not come easy for the Australian Counter-Strike team in this matchup.

BetBoom Team won their second CCT Season 2 European title last week, cruising through the Series #12 playoffs despite playing with Ivan “SELLTER” Miroshnikov for the final two series. The Russians are now 7-3 from their last 10 and travel to Atlanta on a four-game winning streak.

Counter-Strike betting sites have BetBoom Team priced as $1.52 favourites, which is more than fair considering their form.

SAW are outright favourites to win ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2024. The Portuguese squad are 12-2 from their last 14 outings and look poised to run over Rooster on Friday.

Oceania’s No.2 side travel to the United States without Sharvesh “dangeR” Saravanan, who left the team last month. In his place, Rooster will field Joshua “jhd” Hough-Devine from the academy lineup. He has played two games for the main team, averaging below 1.00 in the match ratings.

Rooster would struggle to defeat SAW regardless of their roster situation. However, with the last-minute change, their chances of winning have plunged.

Wildcard and M80 last met during CCT Season 2 North American Series #2 in August, when Wildcard won 2-1. They have since played reasonably well and even showed some pulse in their short ESL Pro League Season 20 campaign.

M80 did exceptionally well in the same tournament, where they reached the quarterfinals. Since then, M80 have been cruising through ESL Challenger League Season 48 North America regular season.

M80 placed much better in Malta, but they only had to defeat Complexity, Fnatic, and Imperial. Since this is a clash between regional rivals, it is difficult to pass on the outsiders at this price.
