The event of the year that fans have been waiting for months is finally here. Starladder Major Main Qualifier is starting tomorrow. Here are my predictions for the beginning of the event.

Round 1 Predictions:

Vitality vs Syman

While Vitality is the clear favorite in this opening match these two teams only faced each other once before - a year ago - in which game Syman came out on top in a closely contested map. This could indicate a close game here aswell especially after the long break. Handicap or over round bets looking great here.

Odds are currently unavailable on Unibet.

NRG Esports vs DeamEaters

NRG usually does well against lower level opposition which is clearly shown here by the odds. DreamEaters could get a suprise start but NRG should come out on the top.

NRG -6.5 @1.80 odds on Unibet

G2 vs Tyloo

While G2 is the favorite Tyloo cannot be underestimated as they usually have a decent start in major level competitions. Their aggressive style could catch G2 off-guard and steal away this map. However this will mainly depend on the map pick. If Tyloo gets to play on Inferno a live bet on them would be smart.

Over 25.5 @1.75 odds on Unibet

North vs INTZ eSports

INTZ is an up and coming brazilian team who did well to reach the main qualifiers however since then their form degraded. North should take this in a comfortable fashion.

North -5.5 @1.75 odds on Unibet

FURIA Esports vs Hellraisers

FURIA is currently the best brazilian team. On the other hand Hellraisers decent performances are long in the past and it is unlikely that they could fix all of their issues before the major.

mousesports vs forZe

Mouse has had an outstanding performance since the new additions and karrigan took over the in-game leadership. They are favorites to make it to even the latest stages of this major. That being said the in-form ForZe will be a tough nut the crack.

AVANGAR vs Complexity Gaming

The kazakh side is favored here as the newly formed col will be looking for experience here rather than anything much else.

Cr4zy vs Grayhound

While Grayhound is one of the best, if not the best, australian team currently this competition will be on another level for the aussies. Ex-Valiance or under their new name Cr4zy will be a tough opponent to start of their campaign.

Cr4zy -4.5 @1.85 odds on Unibet

Round 3 Predictions:

AVANGAR vs Hellraisers

While Hellraisers picked up their first win in a while against Complexity, a much more confident AVANGAR side won't fall that easily.

AVANGAR to win @1.43 odds on Unibet

FURIA Esports vs forZe

Both teams are closely rated but FURIA is slightly favored here.

G2 Esports vs mousesports

G2 had the easier run to get their 2-0. On the other hand mousesports has been put to the test as they were forced to play overtime against AVANGAR. That should put Mousesports in a favorable position to make it to the New Legends stage here.

Complexity Gaming vs TyLoo

Tyloo had an unfortunate draw to begin this event but they should be good enough to keep their hopes alive against a weak COL side.

North vs CR4ZY

As both of these teams are in great form this match is certain to go to the distance.

Over 2.5 @2.02 odds on Unibet

Grayhound vs INTZ eSports

INTZ only managed to get 14 rounds in their 2 matches played. On the other hand Grayhound has shown some promising gamestyle that should put them ahead in this match.

Round 4 Predictions:

G2 Esports vs forZe

G2 is the overwhelming favorite here as they barely lost to in a close game to mousesports yesterday.

G2 Esports -1.5 @2.25 odds on Unibet

FURIA Esports vs Syman

The odds are overwhelmingly in FURIA's favor but Syman could surprise and take at least 1 map away from the brazilians.

No odds available on Unibet

Complexity Gaming vs Grayhound

COL finally shown us some life against a struggling Tyloo side. But they will have to show a lot more to beat the best aussie team.

Grayhound to win @2.00 odds on Unibet

NRG Esports vs Avangar

Expect a close game between these two as they are around the similar level of skill.

Over 2.5 @2.10 odds on Unibet

DreamEaters vs CR4ZY

CR4ZY had plenty of chances to qualify yesterday against North, but they failed to do so. This time around their opposition is much more weaker so this should be an easy ride to the New Legends stage.

CR4ZY -1.5 @1.73 odds on Unibet

Team Vitality vs HellRaisers

While Vitality's poor opening performance was suprising, it was expected from HellRaisers to lose most of their matches. That said Vitality should take this best of 3.

Vitality -1.5 @1.73 odds on Unibet

Main Qualifier has been finalized as North, mousesports, G2, CR4ZY, NRG, AVANGAR, DreamEaters and Vitality have all qualified to the New Legends Stage of the Major.

Both my high odds predictions - forZe and Grayhound - got close to qualification but eventually ended their run with 2-3 score each.

The Main Event is set to start in a couple of days. Cannot wait to see how Astralis, ENCE, FaZe, Liquid, MIBR, Na'Vi, NiP and Renegades match up against the aforementioned New Legends.

Major Outright Winner Prediction

The favorite to take it all is Team Liquid but I think Astralis had more than enough time to get back into form. After some bad results and lack of tournament participation during the middle of the year, Astralis is going to be very motivated to protect their major title and get back their #1 spot in the world.

Also Unibet is running a promotion for the major. You can play it here.

Starladder Major 2019 Berlin

Round 1 Predictions:

ENCE vs AVANGAR

The outcome of this opening match might look straightforward on paper, but in reality it might just be a closer game than expected. AVANGAR had to go through the qualifiers to get to this stage which served as a good warm-up for the main event. On the other hand before the player break we have seen some mixed bag of results out of ENCE.

Over 26.5 @1.90 odds on Unibet

Astralis vs DreamEaters

Astralis is the obvious favorite in the 3-0 Pick'Ems. But can DreamEaters upset the Danish Giants as they have already surprised everyone by just getting to this stage.

DreamEaters +7.5 @1.73 odds on Unibet

NRG Esports vs Renegades

Renegades has been on a bad form since losing some of their key players who made their previous major run possible. On the other hand NRG regained their form and looking like to start off well here.

NRG Esports -4.5 @1.90 odds on Unibet

Team Liquid vs CR4ZY

The World #1 Team Liquid is facing off against currently the most in-form European mix team, CR4ZY. This game has a huge upset potential as CR4ZY is already warmed-up due to the qualifiers and Liquid might be jetlegged. Regardless this is looking like to be the match of the day so make sure you watch it!

CR4ZY to win @4.25 odds on Unibet

Team Vitality vs North

While Vitality looked vulnerable during their qualifiers run and barely managed to get through with a 3-2 record, North more or less easily got past the competition with a 3-0 record. North should take this in a close match but Zywoo certainly a factor that says otherwise.

North to win @1.95 odds on Unibet

FaZe Clan vs mousesports

Here we go again with the grudge match-up between these 2 teams. So far mousesports proven that they are the far more superior team right now. Can FaZe strike back?

@mousesports to win @1.57 odds on Unibet

Natus Vincere vs G2 Esports

G2 is looking well posed to make it to the later stages of the competition. On the other hand Na'Vi has been a huge question mark for a while now regarding their team issues and preparations. The french should be able to get past the CIS team unless s1mple happens.

G2 Esports to win @2.25 odds on Unibet

MIBR vs Ninjas in Pyjamas

Another great match between teams who have had their glorious times but now find themself struggling to get results. 50-50 match on paper and it certainly could go either way.

Under 26.5 @1.85 odds on Unibet.

Day 2 Predictions:

Renegades vs Avangar

Renegades played well in their opening match but ended up losing to NRG in a closely contested game. On the other hand Avangar had seemingly no answer to ENCE's prowess. Their H2H result is also makes the aussies the favorite on paper. Can Avangar deny the bookies?

Avangar to win @2.70 odds on Unibet

Natus Vincere vs DreamEaters

NaVi had 2 opportunities to close out their opening match against G2 at 15-13 but ended up losing in overtime, which doesn't bode well with their major hopes. DreamEaters despite having to play against one of the best teams in the world, Astralis, they felt threatening throughout the match and did well to get 9 rounds on board. There is a huge upset potential here if you fancy high odds.

DreamEaters +5.5 @1.85 odds on Unibet

Ninjas in Pyjamas vs CR4ZY

CR4ZY played well against Liquid, but understandibly so still ended up losing to the best team in the world. On the other hand NiP hasn't show us enough to have any faith in them. The outcome of this match looks straightforward.

CR4ZY -3.5 @1.70 odds on Unibet

North vs mousesports

Match of the day candidate as both of these teams play some exciting top tier CS. North despite having the opportunity of playing one of their best maps, Inferno, still ended up falling prey to Vitality. Mousesports were shocked by a surprisingly strong FaZe performance. Can they bounce back here?

mousesports to win @1.53 odds on Unibet

Team Liquid vs NRG Esports

Liquid just cannot seem to lose at the moment. Does NRG stand a chance to achive an unlikely upset?

NRG Esports +5.5 @1.80 odds on Unibet

FaZe Clan vs Team Vitality

FaZe surprised everyone with how well they played in their opening match against mousesports while Vitality is also back on track after their poor performance in the main qualifier. Expect a closely contested match of the day.

Over 26.5 rounds @1.85 odds on Unibet

ENCE vs MIBR

ENCE had an easy time against Avangar and favorite to take this one aswell. MIBR played well in their opening game against NiP, but this match is going to be a much more difficult task...

ENCE -4.5 @1.85 odds on Unibet

Astralis vs G2 Esports

Even though Astralis is the clear favorite in this match, if G2 plays to their best of ability, the french could upset the danish giants here. While that's uncertain ths map is likely to go to the distance regardless.

Over 25.5 @1.73 odds on Unibet

Day 4 Predictions:

Natus Vincere vs mousesports (!)

Na'Vi is the slight favorite on paper but in reality mousesports has currently more potential with their young line-up. Expect a close game with the european mix coming out on top.

mousesports to win @2.15 odds on Unibet

Team Liquid vs Avangar

Yesterday Liquid were upset by NRG due to being overconfident in their map pool. On the other hand Avangar was able to defy the odds against Renegades. That being said this is a whole different level of competition so expect the same short of score as in the kazakhs opening game against ENCE.

Team Liquid -6.5 @1.75 odds on Unibet

FaZe Clan vs CR4ZY (!)

Niko's team vs Niko's cousin's team. FaZe did well to upset mousesports in their opening game but then fallen short against a well prepared Vitality yesterday. CR4ZY did well to bounce back from their loss against Liquid and defeated NiP. The odds are exactly even which suggests a close game. It is definitely going to be a brawl but I fancy CR4ZY here with their younger players.

CR4ZY to win @1.87 odds on Unibet

MIBR vs G2 Esports

MIBR is still forced to play with their coach but despite that brazilians have been able to show us a decent enough perfomance which might just be enough to upset G2 in this bo1.

Over 25.5 rounds @1.90 odds on Unibet

Renegades vs DreamEaters

Odds are surprisingly still in favor of Renegades despite their loss to Avangar. DreamEaters have had an unlucky draw so far but Renegades is certainly a team they can overcome in this bo3 elimination match.

DreamEaters @2.50 odds on Unibet

ENCE vs Team Vitality (!)

This looks like to be another great matchup between 2 recent additions to the top tier of CSGO. Both of these teams seem likely to reach the knockout stage regardless of the outcome of this match.

Over 2.5 maps @2.00 odds on Unibet

Ninjas in Pyjamas vs North

Both of these teams had a difficult opening to this event with 2 straight losses to their names. As this is an elimination match with the risk of losing their legend status expect them to give their all here.

Over 2.5 maps @2.40 odds on Unibet

Astralis vs NRG Esports (!)

This is going to be a closer game than the odds might suggest at first glance as these teams have a 2-2 H2H record against each other. NRG has just upset the world #1 Liquid so they could potentially do the same to Astralis though this is now a bo3 match so it's less likely to happen.

That Astralis vs NRG game was crazy with quad overtime.

Day 5 Predictions:

MIBR vs Natus Vincere

MIBR were trashed in their previous 2 games, so this match-up doesn't look good for them. While Na'Vi is also in the 1-2 list of teams their losses come from very close overtime rounds.

Map 1 Natus Vincere -6.5 rounds @1.85 odds on Unibet

G2 Esports vs Avangar

Avangar surprised everyone with their win against Team Liquid, can they also upset the french giants?

Over 2.5 maps @2.20 odds on Unibet

FaZe Clan vs Renegades

While Renegades could put up a good fight, the odds are clearly in favor of FaZe.

FaZe Clan to win @1.50 odds on Unibet

Vitality vs mousesports

Expect a great match between these two top teams, but seeing as Vitality couldn't put up a fight against ENCE they are unlikely to beat mousesports here.

mousesports to win @1.87 odds on Unibet

Liquid vs North

Liquid unexpectedly so is in danger of an early exit from the major. Fortunately for them elimination matches are played as bo3s so they have the chance to remedy the situation as they should be able to get past a North team that hasn't been playing at their best.

Under 2.5 maps @1.52 odds on Unibet

Astralis vs CR4ZY

Astralis was upset by a strong NRG performance yesterday. Even then they are still expected to make it to the play-offs unless another upset happens. Can CR4ZY beat Astralis in a bo3?

The wait is finally over! The 1st quarter-final of the major is starting soon.

Thursday Quarter-Finals

Today's matches compared to tomorrow's are certainly less interesting. At least that's what the bookies want us to think by placing both ENCE and Vitality as overwhelming favorites in the odds. But both Renegades and Avangar shown us that they got enough skill to get this far into the play-offs. So expect a fight out of them

Renegades +1.5 @1.85 odds on Unibet

Avangar +1.5 @1.95 odds on Unibet

Friday Quarter-Finals

Can't wait to see Astralis and Liquid duke it out once again for the top team spot. Also Na'Vi and NRG matchup looks like an interesting contest between the two, as NRG has shown a dominant performance in the group stage while Na'Vi has finally given us some sign of life yet.

These were some entertaining matches to watch with Renegades and Avangar taking upset victory over their respective opponents. NRG has shown a dominant form in this tournament, while my pick, Astralis is looking like their old self. At this point any one of the aforementioned four teams could win it all.

It would be very nice to see some stats.

Keep up the good work!


Thanks. I don't have a sheet, but I can see how it is a good idea, so I might make one in the future.

Renegades vs AVANGAR Live Prediction:

1st map, Mirage:

As it is Renegades pick, they are the favorites here. They shown almost a perfect T side and generally great understanding against ENCE yesterday. On the other hand Avangar defeated Vitality on this map in a pretty comfortable fashion but the aussies should come out on top with their better win percentage.

Renegades to win 1st map @1.60 odds on Unibet

2nd map, Dust2:

One of Avangar's best maps to play right now. Jame is probably the best awp player on the server and that bodes well for this map. So Avangar should be able to take their pick as Renegades barely played this map recently.

Avangar to win 2nd map @1.60 odds on Unibet

3rd map, Train:

Neither team could be called proficient on Train, however their h2h history favors Renegades on this map. Despite that this should be a close decider if it comes to.

NRG vs Astralis Live Prediction:

1st map, Train:

The last time they played this map at this event, NRG managed to come out on top with a close, almost 2 maps worth 31-28 overtime victory. Expect another close game here.

NRG to win @3.10 odds on Unibet

2nd map, Overpass:

Overpass once again looks like to be a comfort pick for Astralis. The danes should take this.

3rd map, Nuke:

Nuke used to be Astralis' best map during their dominant era. But since then they lost to multiple teams on this map including NRG. Can they once again make Nuke their stronghold?

Final Predictions: Avangar vs Astralis

Avangar has done well to get to this point, but aside from a miracle to happen, this game is going to be a very difficult task for them. That said another kazakh team has won a major before; Gambit won PGL Major 2017 in Krakow while they had Adren on their roster.

Astralis shown a dominant performance against NRG in the semi-finals reminisent of their form of last year when they were close to impossible to beat. If they show up like that once again, which is likely, they are surely to take their 3rd major title in a row.
