G2 Esports is one of a handful of teams that should expect to make the playoffs, and in doing so, the world number five should get their campaign off to a good start with a comprehensive win over 9z.
G2 Esports -4.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12:30pm CST | Team Liquid @ $2.10 (-2.5) | Heroic @ $1.66 (+2.5) | O/U 21.5 |

|---|---|---|---|
| 1:30pm CST | FURIA @ $1.44 (-3.5) | Lynn Vision @ $2.62 (+3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Lynn Vision got the better of FURIA in the opening stage of PGL Major Copenhagen in a best-of-one series and it is very hard to tip against the Chinese team here, who will be playing in their home country.
Lynn Vision to win
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:30pm CST | MOUZ @ $1.30 (-5.5) | TYLOO @ $5.00 (+5.5) | O/U 19.5 |
There are 126 rankings between MOUZ and TYLOO going into this clash and that is why MOUZ is so short with Counter-Strike 2 betting sites. MOUZ should be kicking off their IEM Chengdu campaign with a good win.
MOUZ -5.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2:30pm CST | CLoud9 @ $1.20 (-4.5) | FlyQuest @ $4.33 (+4.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Although FlyQuest puts their eight-game win streak on the line at Cloud9 in their opening match of IEM Chengdu, the level of competition has been much easier than the challenge that Cloud9 presents. FlyQuest will be up against it here and are predicted to struggle.

Virtus.pro will be looking for some redemption at IEM Chengdu after suffering a controversial exit from the Copenhagen Major. Wildcard will have their work cut out for them against the methodical game plan of VP.

|---|---|---|---|
| 3:30pm CST | FaZe Clan @ $1.16 (-5.5) | Nemiga @ $3.25 (+5.5) | O/U 19.5 |
FaZe Clan may start this match against Nemiga as heavy favourites with esports betting sites, but the world number one is known for being slow starters. FaZe Clan should be winning but don’t be surprised if it is closer than expected.
