Betting Predictions – Group Stage Favourites
Following the conclusion of the ESL Pro League Season 21 the other week, results at this tournament influenced the predictions for BLAST Open Spring. Accordingly, here’s a reminder of how the top 8 teams shaped up at this international tournament:
- #1 – Team Vitality
- #2 – MOUZ
- #3-4 – The MongolZ, Team Spirit
- #5-8 – Team Liquid, Natus Vincere, G2 Esports, Eternal Fire
Although it would be easy to simply say that Vitality and Spirit are the clear favourites, we’re taking a look at the Groups and predicting who we think will progress from each Group:
Group A – BLAST Open Spring
- Team Spirit
- Team Vitality
- MOUZ
For Group A, only the third place spot is disputed considering that Spirit and Vitality are battling in the same group. Accordingly, this would most likely be MOUZ, however Falcons and FaZe could upset them.
Group B – Top 3 Predictions
- The MongolZ
- Team Liquid
- Natus Vincere
This Group is a lot tougher. Besides The MongolZ, anyone between Eternal Fire, Liquid, G2 and Natus Vincere could earn a spot making this group more exciting for CS2 betting.
Prize Pool – Tokens and Cash
Besides the $400,000 prize, there are also Frequent Flyer Tokens up for grabs:
