ESB’s esports betting predictions for Wednesday include the European ESL Pro League playoffs, two Dota2 fixtures from the Oceanic Esports League, and two Rainbow Six Siege bouts scheduled for the fifth round of Oceanic Nationals 2020.

ASTRALIS vs HEROIC CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| CS:GO Betting Odds: | Astralis $1.33 at Betway | Heroic $3.17 at Betway |

Astralis and Heroic will clash in the upper bracket quarter-finals of ESL Pro League S12 in their first meeting since May, when Astralis claimed a 2-0 sweep at DreamHack Masters Spring 2020 Europe.
After suffering a painful 0-2 loss to Complexity Gaming in the opening week of the competition, Astralis picked up the pace and won their remaining six games to lock in the first seed in their group. Heroic saw far less success in their journey through the group stage and managed only four wins in seven games.
Heroic have improved drastically since May and now reside at the no.2 spot in the global CS:GO rankings, yet Casper “cadiaN” Møller and co. can hardly compare to their Danish rivals on their current form. Astralis are looking better with each passing week and look set to hoist their first trophy since ESL One Road to Rio.

YOUR SOUL IS MINE vs BOKEBI DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | YSIM $12.69 at Betway | Draw $3.13 | Bokebi $1.42 |
| When: | September 30, 2020 at 18:00 AEST |

The ninth week of the Oceanic Esports League will kick off with a clash between Your Soul Is Mine and Bokebi. The match is billed as very one-sided, as Bokebi are 6-4-2 and YSIM are winless at 0-6-8.
Despite Your Soul Is Mine’s poor record, there is more to their performances than meets the eye. On paper YSIM’s only noteworthy recent results are stalemates against Sincerely Fury and Power of Friendship, but we shouldn’t look past their strong resistance against Cuteanimegirls two weeks ago.
Dota 2 betting sites are offering around $2.76 on YSIM to win at least one map, which seems like great value considering Bokebi did not look too sharp against Power of Friendship last Thursday.

ADIO CHULA vs CUTEANIMEGIRLS DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | Adio Chula $3.65 at Betway | Draw $2.04 | Cuteanimegirls $2.98 |
| When: | September 30, 2020 at 20:00 AEST |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/oceanicesports_dota) |
Cuteanimegirls (8-3-2) and Adio Chula (7-4-2) have solidified themselves as two of the strongest teams in the tournament. They currently occupy the top two spots in the standings, which all but guarantees them a spot in the playoffs.
These two sides met back in August during the third week of the competition. The match ended in a stalemate, although it was Cuteanimegirls who looked slightly better overall.
Last week, Adio Chula won both of their bouts against C’s Better and Shadownet while Cuteanimegirls picked up convincing wins against Spag and Sons. There is not a lot to separate these two teams on form and quality, which suggests we are in for another close affair that is highly likely to end in a draw.

TEAM FEROX vs ELEVATE R6 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| R6 Betting Odds: | Ferox $2.08 at Betway | Elevate $1.64 at Betway |
| When: | September 30, 2020 at 20:00 AEST |

Team Ferox split their opening four games 2-2, but they deserve some praise for solid performances against two frontrunners in the Pittsburgh Knights (5-7) and Noble (5-7). Standing on the other side of the arena this Wednesday will be Elevate, who won their clashes with Rhythm (8-7) and Okami (7-3) but struggled against the Knights (5-7) and Wildcard Gaming (2-7).
Elevate are priced as huge favourites for this match, but Ferox defeated them 7-3 in May during the Six Masters 2020 Regular Season and have shown slightly better form this tournament. Considering Elevate struggled against Rhythm and managed to win only two rounds against Wildcard, we have reason to believe Ferox can upset the favourites.

LFO vs RHYTHM R6 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| R6 Betting Odds: | LFO $1.47 at Betway | Rhythm $2.45 at Betway |

The odds at most Rainbow Six betting sites heavily favour LFO for this match, which is hard to understand. While they are viewed as the better team, their performances throughout Oceanic Nationals 2020 hardly reflect that.
LFO have yet to win a single match this tournament and hold a league-worst -14 round differential. Rhythm find themselves in a similar situation at 0-4, but they have a marginally better map differential at -11.
One thing that stands out is Rhythm’s impressive performances against Elevate (7-8) and Wildcard Gaming (6-8), which lead us to believe they’re not as bad as their record might suggest. This match could go either way, so we don’t have to think twice before taking the $2.45 offered on Rhythm.
