These two will clash on Friday for the first time since June, when ENCE defeated Astralis 16-13 in the group stage of the BLAST Premier Spring 2020 European Showdown. A month prior, ENCE also forced Astralis to a three-map series (1-2) during the ESL One Road to Rio, which would suggest the Finns do well against their Scandinavian neighbours.
Astralis now field their old roster, which makes them much stronger, but their recent showings have not been too convincing. Astralis dropped maps against G2 Esports (2-1) and MiBR (2-1) and managed only 24 rounds in their 0-2 loss to G2 last week.
ENCE shouldn’t upset Astralis, but unless the Danes improve upon their showings from last week, we don’t see why ENCE can’t win at least one map.

There is not a lot to set these teams apart given that they have split their last two meetings, but BIG have been playing better of late. While they lost the final round of BLAST Premier: Fall 2020 Regular Season against Vitality (1-2), it’s hard to look past BIG’s triumphs over FaZe Clan (2-1), Complexity Gaming (2-0) and MiBR (2-1).
Mousesports are 2-3 in their last five, which includes a three-game losing streak. What’s more, the European mix have not played an official match since mid-October, when they crashed out of DreamHack Open Fall 2020.
Given their lack of playtime, we don’t expect mouz to impress. Nevertheless, they beat BIG 2-0 last month and look solid enough for us to believe they can make this match close.

Avant are coming off a commanding 3-1 win over Chiefs ESC in the LPL Pro League Season 3 grand finals and will now chase their third title of the month. Meanwhile, ORDER have not won a single piece of silverware since September, when they swept Rooster in the ESEA Season 34 Premier Division: Australia final, while they played mostly semi-pro teams throughout October.
It makes no sense that Avant are priced as the underdogs in this matchup, especially if we consider that ORDER lost to them only last Wednesday. It would be foolish to pass on the generous odds offered on Avant.

Suning made quite a statement with their 2-1 win over Bilibili Gaming on Wednesday. While their performance was far from perfect, the young squad showed a lot of confidence – especially Zou “Assum” Wei, who decided to pick Draven in games one and three.
Rogue Warriors looked far more convincing in their 2-0 win over Bilibili, but they did not show anything that would lead us to believe they should be priced at -166.67. If Suning show the same fire they did against Bilibili, they should win at least one map.

TEAM LIQUID vs VIKIN.GG DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

Dota 2 Betting Odds: | Liquid -200 at BetOnline | Vikin.gg +148 at BetOnline |

We can’t deny Team Liquid are a very solid team, which they proved by winning ESL One Germany 2020. At the same time, it is silly to have Vikin.gg priced at such high odds.
Vikin.gg are 6-4 in their last 10 matches, which is not too exciting, but they enter this one on a three-game winning streak. That includes wins against Live to Win, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Team Liquid, who they crushed 3-1 in the DOTA Summit 13 Online: Europe & CIS finals on Sunday.
Even though Liquid are in great form and should win this match more times than not, the +148 offered on Vikin.gg is way too high. Anything above +120 is worth a bet.
