?SKADE and Anonymo last met on September 15 during the European Intel Extreme Masters Season XVI Fall closed qualifiers, where SKADE won (2-1) with 13-16 on Vertigo, 16-7 on Inferno, and 16-8 on Ancient. It marked SKADE’s sixth head-to-head victory (6-0) against the Polish side since March and the third consecutive meeting that ended in 2-1.

The Bulgarians usually do well against Anonymo; however, their run through ESEA Season 38 Premier Division Europe has been anything but convincing. Georgi “SHiPZ” Grigorov and his crew went 0-3 across the opening three weeks of play with losses against AGO (1-2), Team LDLC (1-2), and Endpoint (1-2).

In SKADE’s defence, they had to participate in other tournaments and have had some flashes of greatness – wins against BIG and Team Spirit. Anonymo might upset SKADE, but it doesn’t seem very likely. Instead, we like the Polish squad with a map advantage at excellent CS:GO betting odds.

?X6tence decided to start fresh in March and signed a new roster of young and unproven talent from the region. It is an ambitious project, albeit it will take some time for it to gain some traction.

Since the roster change, x6tence have attended five events and haven’t placed better than top-six. Even their form isn’t great, seeing how they are 1-4 across their last five outings, and they haven’t played an official match in over two weeks.

Unsurprisingly, OFFSET Esports are priced as huge favourites to win, but that’s still a very high price to pay for a team that, like x6tence, haven’t been too active this month. We last saw OFFSET in action on September 9, when they lost against NASR Esports (18-22) during the European IEM Fall open qualifiers.

The round handicap of this match is set at +7.5, which is too big. X6tence likely won’t win, but they should be able to steal at least nine maps from the rusty OFFSET.
