Aladeen here with an aladeen prediction!

This one is honestly really hard to predict, as both teams i feel are pretty good. I think Dig has been performing better than alot have expected recently, 16-3'ing/16-4'ing/16-5'ing/16-6'ing and even 2-0'ing very very strong teams. Out of these, they have destroyed F3 2 times, 1-0 and then before that 2-0. Really the only team i see Dig losing to is TSM recently which is expected. As far as G2 is concerned, they recently played Dig... and... yeah..... It didn't end up so well for G2. The final score was 16-3 on mirage, Dig won, and i think G2's best map is mirage but im not certain about that. Dig seem to play alot of mirage, they played it against G2 and F3 atleast.

But any way, lets take a look at the line ups:

Dignitas: Pimp, aizy, Nico, Kjaerbye, MSL
G2: rallen, MINISE, mouz, innocent, SZPERO

The best player out of these 10 is Pimp with a 1.1 rating and a 1.18 KD, and his stats are only raising.

Overall, i think Dig have a chance in taking this, but G2's line up isn't weak what so ever. If rallen, minise, and innocent can step up then It will be an interesting game. I think i will consider past history on this and go with Dig, only a medium bet though (which is about 20~) especially considering the odds on lounge at the moment which are 66-33 favoring dig. all of digs past matches and their 16-4,3,2 victories against very strong teams just makes me feel they are the better team hear.

A safe bet would be low on dig, considering alot of their past games are bo1's and this is a bo3.

Here is my bet: http://gyazo.com/d6faacc58d369100775ed688b4371f96
I honestly shouldn't have bet that ak... i was planning on putting on op skins :\ but its aight i suppose.

Again, the safe bet would be to low on dig.

if you can't afford to lose, don't bet!

Always bet with Aladeen!

So heres another online BO1, in which i see one clear winner. I think dignitas should have this, but with that said, its a bo1 and its online and as we learned from yesterday with nip vs titan, anything can happen. But i don't want to get ahead of myself, lets just get into the info:

Lineups
Ducks: Kirby, keev, kzy, crisby, tisiaN
Dignitas: Pimp, aizy, Nico, Kjaerbye, MSL

Best player out of these 10 players is Pimp with a 1.1 rating and a 1.18 KD, all his stats have been raising aswell, with only a -.01 to assists/roud, and a -.01 to entry kills per round (which is fine considering he isn't an entry lol).

As far as the past matches for these 2 teams have done, Dignitas seem to be the stronger team. They recently lost to TSM (formarly dignitas) and TSM just out class dig big time, so this was to be expected. before that, they were on a 4 win streak, dominating very strong teams like FS3, G2, and CPHW, the only match i see here that was a sure win was against Reason, which they won 1-0. going farther back, they lost to TSM again 2-0 (expected) but again, after that they just continued to dominated, 2-0 against FS3, 2-0 against CPHW and the list just gets better. Dig are currently #7 world and #6 euwest on gosu.

As far as playing ducks is concerned, I dont think they have what it takes. They've just lost so much, and have only beaten a hand full of teams that i wouldn't even call half way decent. The only strong win i see here is against Publiclir. Currently, ducks are ranked 200 world and 111 eu west on gosu.

All in all, if the current odds stay at what they are, which is 23-77 in favor of dig, then im just going to skip this one. you would have to bet high to get any good type of return back, which i feel is just not worth it considering teams at these ranks can have off days sometimes.

My odds 10-90 dignitas.
current odds 23-77 dignitas.

If I had to choose, I would say a medium-large bet on dig is the only thing that can get a good return, so if you want to bet on this game, then do that. HOWEVER its an online bo1, and anything could happen. A safer thing to do would be to throw an ICB on ducks and get those .04-.07 cent skins out of the way (and really i think thats the only thing that you will get if dig win... just a bunch of icbs). THE SAFEST THING TO DO for this would be to skip as even though dig out classes ducks in every way possible, the return isn't worth the risk and as we saw yesterday, NiP out class titan in every way possible (maybe aside from the awp roles), but they still lose.

Dont do something stupid on this, just throw an ICB on ducks and wait for a more solid game to bet on.

If you can afford to lose, DO NOT BET.

Always bet with Aladeen!

I'm going to make this a short and sweet analysis.

I think CW can take this with ease 2-0, orbit hasn't really impreased me lately. Best player out of these 10 is Snappi for CPHW, with a 1.11 rating an a 1.11 kd, all his stats have been raising (+11.6% for his hsp wow thats really good). Last time orbit played CPHW, it was a bo1 and CPHW won 11-16, which is fair considering that both these teams are on the same level.. okay somewhat..... okay well CPHW is a much better team in my eyes but still.

I'll put something small on CPHW this game as I like them as a team, I wish they still had worldedit like they did before when they could beat VP on cobble. I would advise to bet on your favorite team on this one as really I could see Orbit taking this in another universe... but in all honesty i feel CPHW have the better and stronger team.

My odds for this game 70-30 in favor of CPHW
Current lounge odds 60-40 in favor of CPHW.

Just bet on your favorite team with this one, it's hard to be 100% certain on these lower bracket teams.

As always: Always bet with Aladeen!

Here is my bet: http://gyazo.com/39c9d1f4c025c4501ed48b5bec1a0d45

This game is risky but i feel FS3 should take it, and i think for fnatic to do any good at the lan, they would have save too many strats and for how FS3 is looking at the moment, you NEED good strats against a team like this at the moment.

I took a risk on this and I'm not 100% sure about who will win this BO5. If FS3 play their vetos right, and play each map carefully like they are down by 15 every round, then they will take it and I hope to see them win (if not rip 79.86)

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BETTING ON THIS GAME I WOULD RECOMMEND TO NOT GO AS HIGH AS I AM GOING. I HAVE WON ALOT RECENTLY AND I CAN AFFORD TO LOSE ATM. MY #1 RULE IS: IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE, DON'T BET.

Okay guys this one is all sorts of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. I seriously can't believe FS3 won against NaVi 3-1, considering how good NaVi have been looking. But lets not forget! Fnatic is STILL in the top 3! With that said, they seem to be playing like ♥♥♥♥ this tourny, they got 3-1'ed by nip which in all honesty should happen, It should be a 3-2 either team.

The last time these 2 have played, it was March 23, 2015, a BO3 that fnatic won 2-1. Its insane to note that the map FS3 did win was inferno! (http://www.gosugamers.net/counterstrike/tournaments/5994-pgl-ccs-kick-off-season-group-stage/1582-group-stage/5996-group-b/matches/68967-fnatic-vs-flipsid3-tactics there is the bo3)

Now lets take a look at FS3. http://gyazo.com/fc94ee3bb326e5ce7d1335bb98369240 there is FS3's past matches... Lost of green in there. We can see that really the only team that have troubled them recently has been Dignitas (and in all honesty they are a good team).

Lets look at hltv: we can see s1mple is the best player here with a 1.17 rating and a 1.19 KD. s1mple is an increadibly strong player. In my opinion, I think they can take this game and here is why:

Simply put, fnatic wouldn't do much preparing for a team like this. they would expect to have mor individual skill than a team like this (basically i would assume any team that you see ranked below 15 on gosu, the probly wouldn't prepare for). If fnatic want a win on this... they need to have more time to prepare against this team. Honestly the map pool seems to favor fnatic more, but lets consider that FS3 has beaten fnatic... on their pick... on freaking inferno. Going back to my point, FS3 would only have to assume they will be getting put against some team like this (and especially after watching them crush Na'Vi and VP) I would have to say they have done their research on this.

Another thing to note, this is a very important game for both teams, it securse a spot at lan finals.

To end this, FS3 has been looking increadibly strong, but fnatic have not. I'm going all in on FS3 (no not something like 240 or something) im just going high on fs3 because the last few times that i've put a bet in, I keep saying "Why the ♥♥♥♥ did i not put more!?"

In all honesty, FS3 have nothing to lose and every thing to gain. They will try their hardest to win this game and I really hope they do! If markeloff and S1mple and Worldedit and Bondik get off on a good start, we may be seeing FS3 at lan rather than Fnatic!

My bet: (still not sure yet.. im trying to think DO NOT DO SOMETHING STUPID/RISKY LIKE I AM PROBLY GOING TO DO!)
