After BIG’s less-than-inspiring performance against mousesports on Wednesday, it’s hard to be overly confident about them. That said, it’s not like the Germans have ever been known for their consistency.
On Saturday, BIG will clash with yet another regional rival in Sprout, who should be a much easier opponent than mousesports – or so it may seem. There’s a gap of 23 places between these sides’ global rankings, but those numbers mean little to nothing.
This is a match between two rosters that know each other extremely well. Almost all players involved in this series have played together at one point of their esports careers. This should nullify any tactical advantages either team might enjoy, and that usually favours the underdogs.
However, it’s tough to view Sprout as a true outsider, given that they’re 3-0 in the head-to-head stakes with BIG across the last 12 months. At $2.44, siding with Sprout is a no-brainer.

It was painful to watch Double Poney drop the ball against Astralis on Wednesday, but it wouldn’t be fair to say that Nathan “NBK-” Schmitt and his crew disappointed with 13 rounds on both Vertigo and Nuke.
Despite that loss, we are still very high on this side and don’t quite understand why the esports bookmakers don’t like them. Double Poney were priced as high as $1.66 against Nordavind for their BLAST Rising match and are now billed as underdogs against Anonymo Esports.
Anonymo are by no means a terrible squad, but they’re still struggling against Tier-2 teams and so shouldn’t be priced as favourites against a roster led by one of the most successful CS:GO players in history. This is a slam-dunk bet on Double Poney.
