OG vs. Selfless at ESL Predictions

Conclusion

First match between these two on the day and we land ourselves on Inferno. Now Inferno is a map that is really solid for OpTic actually, so immediately off the bat map favors them, and also individually and as a team, they are better here. OpTic has been on quite a big upswing of improvement and it’s good to see since adds more competition to NA, which is always good. Overall OpTic has an insane ESL record this season so far, best in NA if I am right so that is definitely impressive, shows once again the improvement and how serious they are taking things. Now Selfless are a tricky beast to deal with, they can challenge here, definitely can and have shown it recently with BO3 upset vs LG and a map upset from Cloud9. I am not sure if this was or is just a honeymoon period due to them adding M1tch and Nifty, however it is impressive. I am not sure if Selfless will be able to sustain a high level, they have already showed shaky performances versus Winterfox, so that is not encouraging. Selfless has a really poor record versus OpTic too, so that isn’t in their favor either. Overall, 70-30 in favor of OpTic here, simply play the odds with a lowbet here. In a BO1 like this you win both pistols and the game can tilt heavily in your favor.

Bet

5% OpTic if below 75%, otherwise 2% Selfless here in the hopes of an upset.

My odds = 70-30 OpTic

My risk = High

My bet = 5% OG if udner 75%, otherwise 2% Selfless

My advice = Same as my bet

My odds for this match: OG 70:30 Selfless

Going to keep this rather short; We all know OG on Inferno, it’s their best map and they are the best team in NA on this map. Selfless themself aren’t bad on this map either but historically Selfless always had problems with OG. I’m not sure if it’s due the playstyle of OG or just because OG are better but I think that OG are going to win this one as well. I personally think that they are the better team and can only become better whereas Selfless are already on their peak right now (IMO). I’m going with OG for this one.

My odds for this match: OG 75:25 Selfless

This match is the first between these 2 tonight and is inferno.

I’ll make this pretty short as there’s not too long until the match starts.

Quite simply OG are the better team on inferno, it’s one of their strongest maps and I cant see them losing to selfless here. Historically Selfless have a pretty awful record against OG, losing their last 2 encounters 16-6, 16-7.

Selfless can definitely upset here and have shown some decent form recently beating LG in a best of 3 and also taking cache from c9 which isn’t an easy task but I wouldn’t advise betting on them unless their odds drop below about 20% as I think there’s less of a chance of them taking this map than mirage.

I’d recommend a bet on OG providing their odds stay below about 75%.

My odds for this match: OG 75:25 Selfless
