In one of the more lopsided fixtures of the ESL Pro League Season 20 group stage, Peter “stanislaw” Jarguz’s Wildcard will look to derail one of the tournament favourites, Team Spirit. However, iit is fair to question whether Counter-Strike betting sites have priced Spirit a bit too short.
Although Wildcard are one of the lowest-ranked teams in Malta and hail from a weak region, they have dominated the North American scene for the last two months. That is still not as impressive as Team Spirit’s run since the start of August, but at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne, we saw that Spirit can collapse even against weaker opponents.
It would be too optimistic to believe Wildcard can defeat Team Spirit under normal circumstances, but the map handicap odds for this series are a bit too generous.

THE MONGOLZ vs 3DMAX CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | MongolZ $1.55 at GG Bet | 3DMAX $2.43 at GG Bet |

The MongolZ have made serious noise over the last few months in European Counter-Strike tournaments. While their run at IEM Cologne 2024 was not as successful, they defeated FlyQuest, Eternal Fire, and Team Spirit, and also played two close series against SAW.
After a strong run of their own, 3DMAX have cooled down lately. They won Skyesports Championship 2024 at the end of July but have since placed last in Cologne and ended CCT Season 2 European Series #8 in 9th-16th place.
While 3DMAX beat The MongolZ in July, their performances since then have been underwhelming. Backing the favourites at $1.55 is not a bad option, but Garidmagnai “bLitz” Byambasuren and co. should be able to sweep 3DMAX without many issues.
