Havan Liberty benched William “w1” Almasan at the start of July and replaced him with former Team One rifler Felipe “skullz” Medeiros. It marked the first roster change since the Brasilian esports organisation acquired Redemption eSports Porto Alegre roster in August 2020.
The new signing has done well, helping Havan Liberty secure a 3-1-0 record on the month, which includes a draw against Paqueta Gaming (1-1) and three wins against Jaguares Esports (2-0), Bears e-Sports (2-0), and Keyd Stars (2-0).
KG Network and Havan Liberty last met at the end of June at CBCS Retake Series Season 1, when KG Network won the series opener with 19-16 on Ancient but lost on Inferno (14-16) and Dust II (1-16). At the time, Havan Liberty were still playing with w1, who ended the series with a 1.18 rating.
Havan Liberty are expected to win; however, we like our chances with KG Network with a 6.5 round advantage. They won 19 and 14 rounds last time out and should reach at least double digits on Wednesday.
KG Network +6.5 rounds
MIBR vs KEYD STARS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | MiBR $1.18 at Betway | Keyd $4.41 at Betway |

MiBR have recently played at IEM Cologne and the Pinnacle Cup II, where they placed in 13th-16th and 13th place respectively. Although not awe-inspiring results, MiBR still forced world no.12 Team Spirit to overtime (18-22) and picked up wins against HAVU (2-1) and Lyngby Vikings (2-1).
Their next opponents, Keyd Stars were once one of the top teams in Brasil, but those days are long gone. They’re now ranked 21st in the region and 195th in the global rankings. Although MiBR have had a similar thing happen to them, they’re at least showing some life on the international stage.
Regional derbies like this one are usually close; however, we wouldn’t trust Keyd with a 5.5 round advantage. They can be competitive at their level, but it’s unlikely that they’ll stand a chance against MiBR, who competed against some of the world’s best CS:GO esports teams just a couple of weeks back.
MiBR -5.5 rounds
INTZ vs SWS GAMING CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | INTZ $1.58 at Betway | SWS $2.27 at Betway |

INTZ and SWS Gaming last met during the first season of CBCS Elite League in April, when Felipe “RICIOLI” Ricioli and co. won with 16-14 on Train. INTZ ended up recovering from that loss and finished the tournament in fifth-eighth, but that’s hardly comforting.
INTZ also parted ways with Luigi “dukka” Castiglione on Friday, which leaves them with an incomplete roster ahead of this bout. It’s pretty shocking to see how low have INTZ fallen as an esports organisation – going from playing at the 2019 Berlin Major to now fielding mediocre players and competing in second-tier regional tournaments.
There’s a lot of variance in these regional fixtures, especially between two evenly matched teams. While there are not many reasons to trust SWS Gaming, there are even fewer to pick INTZ at $1.58. Take the outsiders to upset the once-great INTZ.
SWS Gaming to win
