The next 3 confrontations within Group B of ESL Pro League Season 16 are behind us. That means it's time to talk about the next fights. The first in line were G2 Esports and FTW, which will compete for extra points.
It seems that we are in for a completely banal meeting without any intrigues - the coefficient on G2 Esports is 1.01, which means that, according to experts, the probability of their victory is 92.5%. Is it so? Which additional market is better to bet on? Let's look into this matter!
G2 Esports uniform
G2 is one of the main favorites of Group B. Although the team made changes in its roster in mid-August, the team was already able to play well and show a master class as part of the ongoing ESL Pro League Season 16. HLTV assess G2's skills as the ninth team in the world in their ranking.
M0NESY and his teammates played matches against a Tier-1 team at the end of August at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 and, frankly, it didn’t work out very well. Now the team has approached ESL Pro League Season 16 with a fresh head and has already managed to earn two victories.
Regarding the latter, I would like to note in a special way that both meetings were taken with a score of 2-0, and the opponents were not the Portuguese from FTW, but the stronger MIBR and BIG, which cannot be ignored in any way.
G2 Esports pleases not only with the latest victories, but also with their approach to map selection. The team played 4 different maps in EPL #16 matches: Dust 2, Ancient, Mirage and Vertigo. On Mirage and Vertigo, G2 had some problems with BIG and both maps went to overtime, however, as mentioned earlier, BIG is much stronger than FTW.
On these four maps, the team can show good results, but on Inferno and Nuke they have problems. The international team does not play at Overpass at all.

FTW Game Uniform
The Portuguese team is ranked 53 in the world rankings. The team got to this tournament due to the fact that it took 5th-6th place at the EPL Conference with grief in half, and the team, frankly, feels very uncomfortable among the eminent participants of the championship.
DDias and his teammates showed poor results not only in the current ESL Pro League Season 16, but also in other events, the significance of which is significantly inferior to this tournament, namely, in the closed qualifiers for Flow FiReLEAGUE 2022 and OMEN WGR Retake Season 4. In these tournaments the team was also defeated, and summing up all the unsuccessful performances, the team now has a series of four lost matches.
The only place where FTW can hypothetically compete with G2 Esports is the Nuke map. This is their main trump card and the Portuguese have a win rate of 71.4% there, but G2 will ban this map with a huge probability. On the rest of the battlefields, FTW have a win rate ranging from 0% to 44.4%, which is quite weak.

- Overpass (3 cards) - 0%
Conclusion
In this case, there will be a total outplay. I could assume that FTW would take at least one map, but purely in theory, they can only succeed on Nuke, which G2 Esports will no doubt ban, if only because it is their worst map.
There are only two betting options here: Total under 2.5 cards with odds of 1.15 and Exact score 2-0 in favor of G2 Esports with odds of 1.18. For obvious reasons, it is better to choose the second option.
This bet can be easily mixed into any accumulator so that the size of the total odds is higher.
Final bet: G2 Esports exact score with odds 2-0
#21
BIG
#323
