ESB is back with free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive betting picks for a pair of Elisa Invitational 2022 Fall bouts on Wednesday, September 14. Here are our selections for ECSTATIC vs Into the Breach and Team Finest vs Esports Club Kyiv, with CS:GO betting odds courtesy of Betway.
ECSTATIC vs INTO THE BREACH CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | ECSTATIC $1.66 at Betway | ITB $2.10 at Betway |

Into the Breach have not been the same team since the departure of Thomas “Thomas” Utting and Owen “smooya” Butterfield in June, but since going international, they have achieved some minor success. ITB won ESEA Cash Cup: Europe – Summer 2022 #2 in July and added the Assembly Summer 2022 trophy the next month, but they’ve since not claimed another title.
Ahead of this bout, Into the Breach are on a 3-2 run with wins against ARCRED (16-11), K10 (2-0), and BLVKHVND (2-0). But they’ve also suffered two defeats against vastly inferior teams in EKO Esports (1-2) and xdddd (11-16).
ECSTATIC are not in the best shape either over their last five bouts (2-3), and even though they have been playing against tougher teams, their only notable opponents across their last five outings were Team Falcons, who beat them 2-1 last Wednesday.
Recent results-wise, ECSTATIC look stronger, but just like Into the Breach, they look very unconvincing. We expect a close series with each map reaching at least 28 rounds.
Over 27.5 rounds (Map 1)
TEAM FINEST vs ESPORTS CLUB KYIV CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Finest $1.56 at Betway | Kyiv $2.36 at Betway |
| When: | September 14, 2022 | 14:00 CEST |

Team Finest enter this bout with mixed form, having won four of their last seven series. That run includes a defeat against Esports Club Kyiv, who beat the international roster at the start of the month (2-0). Finest have since not played a single official match, while EC Kyiv have played seven and lost all but one.
EC Kyiv’s dry streak started with a 0-2 defeat against MiBR on September 4, and they’ve since kneeled to kogutos (12-16), Entropiq Prague (12-16), Dark Tigers (13-16), Iron Breach (13-16), and ThunderFlash (8-16). So even though EC Kyiv won the last meeting with Finest, it’s fair to doubt their chances in the rematch.
Team Finest are favoured to win, but it seems like the favouritism is mainly based on EC Kyiv’s poor form rather than Finest showing any improvement since their head-to-head defeat. So even though EC Kyiv look weaker ahead of the rematch, they’re still a good bet as outsiders against a team they beat 16-14, 16-5 less than two weeks ago.
EC Kyiv to win
