(NOTE TO READER: This does contain games that have already been, this is due to it being written hours ago)
What we know about the map pool / veto session.
The current map pool is.
de_dust2
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_mirage
de_cache
de_cobblestone
de_overpass

How the Veto session will work in a BO1
Team A will remove 1 map, then Team B will remove 1 map and so on till there's one map left.

How the Veto session will work in a BO3
Team A veto 1 map. Team B veto 1 map.
Team A picks 1 map. Team B picks 1 map
Team A veto 1 map. Team B veto 1 map.
And then there's only 1 map left. Which will be the third map.

#ESWC1 3DMAX VS DIGNITAS

Date: 31th of October
Time: 09:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC 2014
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: De_TBA
Dignitas: cajunb, device, Xyp9x, dupreeh, FeTiSh
3DMAX: natu, KHRN, REFLEX, xartE, disturbed
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: Dignitas 80% - 3DMAX 20%
MY ODDS: Dignitas 80% - 3DMAX 20%
RISK: LOW
MY BET: NOTHING SINCE THE ODDS ARE JUST WAY TO HIGH TO BET ON

Although the latest 3DMAX lineup is a strong one, having a successful qualifier run into this tournament (beating Mousesports 2-0), they aren't on the same level as Dignitas. Although they have some solid players, they don't have the consistant skill and teamwork that is ever-present from the Dignitas lineup. Therefore, we could be seeing 3DMAX struggling to even reach the 10 round mark. Myself an niNus predict a score of around 16-8 regardless of the map choice.
Our choice will be Dignitas.

#ESWC2 HR VS CW

Date: 31th of October
Time: 11:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC 2014
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: BO1 TBA
HR: ANGE1, s1mple, kucher, markeloff, Dosia
CW: Pimp, Kjaerbye, gla1ve, tenzki, cadian

Copenhagen wolves won against HellRaisers the last time. Mostly because of the ddosing causing problems for HellRaisers and that they had to postpone it for a bit. HellRaisers are in our opinion the better team. Got the better awper and the better communication / teamplay. They only thing that they might lack that cw actually have is a great in-game leader. But I don't think it will matter that much for tomorrows match and that is why our choice will be Hellraisers here.

#ESWC3 CPH WOLVES VS NiP

Date: 31th of October
Time: 10:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC 2014
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: De_TBA
NiP: f0rest, GeT_RiGhT, Xizt, Fifflaren, friberg
CPH Wolves: pimp, Kjaerbye, gla1ve, tenzki, cadiaN
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: CPH Wolves 22% - NiP 78%
MY ODDS: CPH Wolves 34% - NiP 64%
RISK: Average/High
Bet: Nothing so far!

NiP, often considered the "best team in the world" has seemingly been struggling lately, but it seems like they believe they are well prepared for this tournament. The new CPH Wolves lineup seems to be a success but this should be no match for NiP as CPH wolves lack the strong teamwork we can see in every single one of NiP's matches. Friberg recently did an interview with HLTV.org and from what I can gather, NiP are playing ESWC for the win. Taz from Virtus Pro acknowledged the fact that they will be serious contenders to win this tournament as they have been putting a lot of time into practicing and studying all the other teams.

If NiP wake up as they should've then they should take this won pretty ez so our choice will be NiP.

#ESWC4 iBP VS Mouz

Date: 31th of October
Time: 11:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC 2014
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: De_TBA
iBP: AZK, Skadoodle, DaZeD, steel, swag
mousesports: chrisJ, LEGIJA, karrigan, tabseN, allu
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: iBP 71% - mouz 29%
MY ODDS: iBP 65% vs Mouz 35%
RISK: Average
MY BET: Nothing so far

Although on paper these teams seem pretty evenly matched, the fact is that Mouz lacks the solid communication and teamwork that iBP has. It may be due to the constant changing of their 5th player, or maybe because they're all different nationalities. iBP should win this match pretty easily and we really can't see any room for upsets between these two teams. So therefore our choice will be iBP!

#ESWC5 Titan VS HR

Date: 31th of October
Time: 12:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC 2014
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: De_TBA
HellRaisers: ANGE1, s1mple, kucher, markeloff, Dosia
Titan: Ex6TenZ, apEX, kennyS, Maniac, KQLY
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: Titan 70% - HR 30%
MY ODDS: HellRaisers 40% vs Titan 60%
RISK: V-HIGH
MY BET: Skip it.
Due to the recent changes in both of the teams and the skewed odds we have changed it all and decided that we will skip this one!

#ESWC6 NiP VS HR

Date: 31st of October
Time: 14:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC 2014
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: BO1 TBA
NiP: f0rest, GeT_RiGhT, Xizt, Fifflaren, friberg
HR: ANGE1, s1mple, kucher, markeloff, Dosia
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: NiP 64% vs HR 36%
MY ODDS: NiP 58% vs HR 42%
RISK: HIGH/V-HIGH
MY BET: Nothing so far!

NiP have been playing very bad recently but what we do know is that they have been playing from around 4pm to 1 AM every day the last week to practice and get their new playstyle going.

They have been struggling alot as of lately but so have HellRaisers. HellRaisers have fallen asleep once again. And I think that NiP will be the team that is better prepared compared to HellRaisers.

The current map pool is:
de_dust2
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_mirage
de_cache
de_cobblestone
de_overpass

What map will HR Veto?
HR will most likely veto dust2. Nuke. Cobblestone.

What map will NiP veto?
NiP will most likely veto overpass, cache, mirage.

So the map should be de_inferno

de_Inferno is a map where both of the teams are very strong at but at the same time, after the team change in HR it feels like they are stronger on other maps now instead of Inferno compared to before. And that NiP will have the upperhand here.

The team that will pick CT/T first is based on who wins the knife round.

But after the match between NiP and fnatic we can say that it seems like NiP are finally waking up once again and that they actually started playing as a team for once. So therefore OUR CHOICE will be NiP here!

#ESWC7 Titan VS Copenhagen wolves

Date: 31st of October
Time: 14:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC 2014
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: BO1 TBA
CW: Pimp, Kjaerbye, gla1ve, tenzki, cadiaN
Titan: Ex6TenZ, apEX, kennyS, Maniac, KQLY
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: Titan 79% vs CW 21%
MY ODDS: Titan 65% vs CW 35%
RISK: HIGH
MY BET: Nothing so far

Copenhagen wolves have definitely stepped their game up recently after the roster change. And started playing more as a team and more coordinated.

But Titan was one of the teams that didn't attend on the Faceit lan tournament. Instead they added iorek into the team as a coach/analyst for them to analyze their matches and strats etc and make them play better as a team. Which seems to be in a huge favor for them. Because they fell of the radar for couple of days and then turned up beating ldlc twice. Titan's manager have posted it not once but twice that they have been practicing strats for hours and hours and that result is something that we could see against LDLC in the previous online matches against them.

Titan got 5 experienced lan players. We won't see any of the players with some shaky hands and stuff like that. Compared to Tenzki and kjaerbye who are not as experienced as the Titan players.

Titan got both one of the best players in the world (kennyS) and one of the best in-game leaders in the world, Ex6tenz.

Titan is in our opinion THE stronger team in all different aspects. They have had more time as a team to practice. Having the addition to have a Coach in their team, such as fnatic and NiP. Which always helps alot. They got the better in-game leader plus the better individual skill.

The map vetoing will be a tough part since CW have not been playing THAT much so it's hard to predict which maps they favor more etc.

So our choice will be Titan here and we suggest a avg bet on them!

#ESWC8 MOUZ VS DIGNITAS

Date: 31st of October
Time: 15:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC 2014
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: BO1 TBA
Dignitas: cajunb, device, Xyp9x, dupreeh, FeTiSh
Mouz: ChrisJ, LEGIJA, Karrigan, tabsen, allu
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: Dignitas 67% vs Mouz 33%
MY ODDS: The Same.
RISK: Low/Avg
MY BET: Nothing so far.

Right now it feels like there's nothing much to say here. Dignitas gained the addition of Cajunb recently. Who got a 1.3kd/ratio and for those who doesn't know it yet Cajunb used to play for dignitas couple of months ago so it's not like they are adding someone that's completely new to the team and stuff like that. He have always been their standard stand-in and as we have seen lately, he have played alot of times since aizy have been ddosed.

Mousesports are famous of being good online but not on LAN which is true, they never manage to get good lan results but they are not that good online either. Not against teams such as Dignitas.

Dignitas are better in all aspects there is compared to Mousesports so therefore our choice will be Dignitas.

#ESWC9 NiP VS Titan

Date: 31th of October
Time: 16:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: BO1 TBA
Titan: Ex6TenZ, apEX, kennyS, Maniac, KQLY
NiP: f0rest, GeT_RiGhT, Xizt, Fifflaren, friberg
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: Titan 55% vs NiP 45%
MY ODDS: Titan 51% vs niP 49%
RISK: V-HIGH
MY BET: Nothing so far!

This is definitely the best map to watch today!
Two great teams with a complete 50/50 match.
NiP have been struggling for a while now but they have as we saw against fnatic finally woke up from that shitty hole they've been in.
Friberg said it in a interview that they have been focusing on each persons playstyle in the team and trying to adjust the team to that. So each player can perform better. They have been practicing alot the last week and been trying to improve everything.

Titan though have got the addition of a coach. Mr.Iorek. A ex pro player in the french scene to help them out to analyze their recent matches and to find the bad parts in their strats. And their teamplay.

We saw Titan struggle some on the SLTV tournament and after not attending the faceit tournament they played against ldlc twice and won both of the times and played phenomenally well.

We might see some changes in this specific prediction during the day so stay updated. I will note it with a #Edit if so.

The current map pool is:
de_dust2 NiP
de_inferno
de_nuke Titan
de_mirage NiP
de_cache NiP
de_cobblestone Titan
de_overpass Titan

Titan should veto:
de_nuke. De_cobblestone. De_Overpass

NiP should veto:
De_Dust2. de_Cache. de_mirage

So the map should be de_inferno. A map which both of the teams actually like. But we have seen what kennys are capable of on this particular map. His quick movement in apps. All around from a quick peak down banana to down middle. He can handle both close combats as long range combats. He's definitely the player that NiP should watch out for tomorrow.

I think that KennyS if Titan let him roam around will do collateral damage and just destroy NiP.

If they prediction and the map veto goes as predicted than Titan should be the team coming out on top so our choice here will be Titan. And we suggest a low bet due to the high risk.

#ESWC10 Dignitas VS iBuyPower

Date: 31th of October
Time: 17:30 CET
Tournament/League: ESWC
LAN/Online: LAN
Maps: BO1 TBA
Dignitas: cajunb, device, Xyp9x, dupreeh, FeTiSh
iBuyPower: AZK, Skadoodle, DaZeD, steel, swag
CSGOLOUNGE ODDS: Dignitas 48% vs iBP 52%
MY ODDS: Dignitas 47% vs iBP 53%
RISK: V-HIGH
MY BET: Nothing so far!

Alright!
So these two teams played against each other the last time on the Faceit tournament. On dust2 and on de_nuke. Dignitas simply got DESTROYED on dust2. With a score of 16:3 while Dignitas won on de_nuke but with a score of 16:13

These two teams are completely equal. They got the same individual skill and the only thing that iBuypower might be favored in is the awping. But other than that I can not see any other aspect that put the other team on the upper hand.

From what we have seen, iBuypower did well in the last tournament. Made it to the grand-finals and lost against fnatic. There's so much hype about the jet lag etc but I can tell you already that they have been here in europe since the faceit tournament and have adjusted to the time schedule, food etc. So that won't be no problem.

If as I expect ibuypower performs like they did the last tournament then we will hopefully see iBuypower win this match. Because they performed way better overall compared to dignitas. They played all their matches very well except for the loss on de_nuke against dignitas to be honest.

The current map pool is:
de_dust2
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_mirage
de_cache
de_cobblestone
de_overpass

I must say that iBuypowers odds do get lower with this map pool compared to the faceit one since season is gone. But at the same time, they are a team that is well coordinated in each map so it will hopefully not be a problem.

iBP should veto:
De_overpass. de_nuke. De_mirage.

Dignitas should veto:
de_Cobblestone. De_cache. de_dust2

If it comes out to be inferno as predicted then we will see a very tough match. Maybe even a match going to 15:15.

We will predict this match but at the same time, no one of us will bet on it and we suggest that you skip it but due to recent matches from both teams then iBP have been playing better and more organised so therefore our choice will still be iBuypower.
