9INE enter this match priced as 1.28 favourites with the top Counter-Strike bookmakers, whereas Illuminar Gaming are 3.30 underdogs. This gives Illuminar less than a 30% chance of taking the series, which is a fairly low number but perhaps a fair one.

Head to Head

9INE and Illuminar Gaming have yet to meet this year.

9INE Form

9INE enter Group A decider match of European Pro League Season 19 just a few days after securing their first Counter-Strike tournament title of the year - FASTCUP: CSGORUN Cup Season 1.

At the recent tournament, 9INE placed second in the group stage and then had a perfect run through the playoffs, with wins against Nemiga Gaming, Jhonny Speeds, and again Nemiga in the grand final.

With those results, 9INE are 6-4 from their last ten series, with defeats against latjbit, Metizport, SINNERS Esports, and Passion UA. While not the most exciting record, 9INE have done well, especially over the last week – which explains why they are priced as such massive favourites with the top esports bookmakers.

9INE Squad & Team News

9INE have not made any roster changes.

Illuminar Gaming Form

Illuminar Gaming are 4-6 from their last ten outings, which sounds better than it is. While IG won most of their recent games, those wins came mostly against weaker opponents such as Haspers, ENTERPRISE Genesis, and TNL and even in those wins, Illuminar Gaming did not look very dominant.

One notable victory happened in the previous round of European Pro League Season 19 when they beat Preasy.

Against more capable opponents, IG have shown very little and they are still without a tournament title this year. Their last attempt, at the start of the month, at United21 Season 19, ended in a 13th-16th-place finish, which is a good indication of where this roster stands.

Verdict

9INE v Illuminar Gaming

9INE are priced as favourites for this match, and for a very good reason. While they’re not a great Counter-Strike teams, 9INE are a force to be reckoned at this level and their recent success proves it.

But an even bigger reason for why Illuminar Gaming are not priced at shorter odds is their atrocious form over the last couple of months, and the recent roster changes don’t help. Expect a dominant victory from 9INE.
