Dignitas finished the group stage in third place with a 1-2 record but still made it into the playoffs, thanks to EXTREMUM’s withdrawal from the tournament. The situation works in favour of Entropiq, who got awarded an easier matchup – but not by much.
Dignitas won’t achieve much in the big leagues with their current roster; however, Adam “friberg” Friberg and co. have done well enough for their standards. Most notably, Dignitas attended BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021 last week, where they forced a very close match against Heroic (16-19, 13-16).
Entropiq’s last appearance at a top-tier tournament happened at the start of October when they placed third at Intel Extreme Masters XVI Fall CIS. It was a solid achievement, but they haven’t had much success since, and have been dropping games against much weaker teams, including 9z Team and FunPlus Phoenix.
This seems like a 50/50 match, so we have to take the better odds on Dignitas.

TEAM FIEND vs ETERNAL FIRE CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | Fiend $1.20 at Betway | Eternal $4.09 at Betway |

It’s fair to say that Team Fiend are a better team, but the offered CS:GO betting odds make no sense. Eternal Fire are priced at $4.09 to win, implying that they have only a 24.4% chance of winning, which is way too low.
Even though Eternal Fire are by no means a top-tier team, they still field two elite players in Özgür “woxic” Eker and İsmailсan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş. Admittedly, woxic and XANTARES haven’t been in their best form of late, but they’re still highly talented individuals with experience playing at the highest level.
The problem with Eternal Fire is that you never know what you’re going to get – they can either play extremely well or fall apart. Still, that presents us with a 50/50 chance that they step up and defeat Fiend, and that’s good enough to wager on them at the offered odds.
