Why Bet on Beyond Gaming
Beyond Gaming was formed at the start of 2021, acquiring the spot from ahq eSports Club.
Some players were retained from the former roster while others were picked up from other organizations.
In a few days, Beyond Gaming was ready to jump on the rift.
After a decent spring, BYG finished behind PSG Talon yet again in summer.
This time around, though, they had to fight more: a tie-breaker against Machi Esports allowed them to get second place.
Despite having a worse record, their playoffs run was the game-changer.
Why Bet on Cloud9
Cloud9 is having an odd season so far, they managed to win the Spring Split but failed at the MSI 2021.
They finished the summer split in 3rd place, so they couldn’t go straight into the group phase and have them fighting at the play-ins.
They are, however, the favorites for this match and are considered the strongest team in the B-Group of the Play Ins.
Final Betting Analysis: Beyond Gaming vs. Cloud9
While the Beyond Gaming team has to play in the play-ins, they avoided both HLE and LNG in their group.
Overall, it’s a greater advantage since the only realistic threat is in this match against Cloud9.
They have the talents and skills to take the fight to C9, and it will be interesting to see how these two teams fare against each other.
Even if they don’t end in the first place, they should still have a relatively high chance to get through anyway.
We believe both teams may be able to get to the group phase, but as much as we appreciate the young team from Taiwan, we still have the American Cloud9 as our betting pick.
Beyond Gaming vs. Cloud9 Betting Pick: Cloud9
