OG vs ENDPOINT Predictions


OG and ENDPOINT will clash on Friday, August 30, in the opening round of ThunderPick World Championship 2024: European Series #2, marking their first clash of the year. According to the esports betting odds, OG should win, which makes some sense, given their experience of facing much more formidable opponents.

OG are priced as 1.50 favourites to defeat ENDPOINT with the best Counter-Strike bookmakers, while ENDPOINT enter the series as 2.40 underdogs. At this price, the outsiders are given a 41.7% implied probability of winning the series, which sounds about right, even though OG are not in the best shape.

  • OG (#34) are higher ranked than ENDPOINT (#69)
  • OG have won just one of their last five series
  • ENDPOINT are 2-3 from their last five

Head to Head


ENDPOINT and OG have yet to meet this year.

OG Form


OG enter ThunderPick World Championship 2024: European Series #2 following an unsuccessful run at BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown 2024 and Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024: European Qualifier, where they didn't make it very far. At BLAST, OG won their first two matches against HEROIC (2-0) and AMKAL (2-1) but lost the next fixture against FaZe (0-2) and exited the event in third-fourth place.

The run through Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024: European Qualifier was much shorter, ending after just two series, losses against Team Falcons (1-2) and Fnatic (0-2). With that, OG are now 4-6 from their last ten series, albeit some losses came against more vigorous opponents.

On the other hand, most of OG's victories came against weaker sides, so we cannot praise them too highly for what they've produced.

OG Squad & Team News


No roster changes for OG, with Christian "Buzz" Storgaard likely stepping in to fill the vacant spot.

  • Maciej "F1KU" Miklas
  • Bram "Nexius" Campana
  • Mădălin-Andrei "MoDo" Mirea
  • Christoffer "Chr1zN" Storgaard

ENDPOINT Form


ENDPOINT have recently placed second at HellCup #10, and just over a week ago, added another solid tournament run, with a semifinal appearance at CCT Season 2 European Series #8. This is an improvement compared to what ENDPOINT have produced so far this season, having failed to win or come close to winning a single event.

The improvement, however, comes with an asterisk, as ENDPOINT have not beaten any great teams of late. They're 5-5 from their last five, with their most notable victory coming against Passion UA (2-0). Not once have, however, ENDPOINT won against a strong Counter-Strike esports team.

ENDPOINT Squad & Team News


No recent roster changes for ENDPOINT besides the signing of Petar "HOLMES" Dimitrijević as a head coach at the start of the month.

  • Kia "Surreal" Man
  • Max "MiGHTYMAX" Heath
  • Oscar "AZUWU" Bell
  • Joey "CRUC1AL" Steusel
  • Jan "cej0t" Dyl

Verdict

OG and ENDPOINT have yet to clash this year, but despite not having any head-to-head records to look over, it's easy to guess how this series will play out. Even though OG are far from an elite team, they've had a chance to play strong opponents lately, which they could've used as a solid preparation for the upcoming affair.

ENDPOINT, on the other side, have not beaten nor played many games against stiffer opponents, which makes it easier to believe they'll have a hard time against the current world no.34.

Despite OG's lacklustre results this season, they have a fairly high ceiling and a much higher potential than ENDPOINT. Anything less than a 2-0 sweep for OG will be a massive disappointment.
