Counter-Strike esports betting sites have BIG priced as 1.32 favourites to defeat ODDIK, who enter their first ESL Challenger Atlanta 2024 series as 3.10 underdogs. This gives ODDIK less than a 1/3 chance of beating the German squad, which, considering their form, sounds about right.

  • ODDIK have a good map pool
  • BIG are 1-3 from their last three
  • ODDIK (#74) are worse ranked than BIG (#24)

Head to Head


ODDIK and BIG have yet to meet this year.

BIG Form


BIG travel to Atlanta hoping to improve upon their recent tournament runs, none of which saw the German Counter-Strike team contest a podium finish. Last week, BIG ended CCT Season 2 European Series #12 in ninth-16th-place and YaLLa Compass Summer 2024 in fifth-eighth, which is hardly inspiring.

We also got to see BIG attend ESL Pro League Season 20, where they placed top-16 with a 3-2 record. Those includes wins against Rooster, Fnatic, and Complexity and two defeats against Imperial and MongolZ. While not a terrible tally, BIG then proceeded to lose against the world's no.35 Monte and the world's no.65 ECSTATIC.

A bit of a mixed bag of results for BIG; however, they have shown some great things of late, so they are not to be entirely underestimated as potential ESL Challenger Atlanta 2024 title contenders.

BIG Squad & Team News


No roster changes for BIG.

  • Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz
  • Karim "Krimbo" Moussa
  • Florian "syrsoN" Rische
  • Jon "JDC" de Castro
  • Rigon "rigoN" Gashi

ODDIK Form


ODDIK have had their moments in July-August, with three tournament titles form KaBuM! Legends 2024, Circuito Estadual FERJEE 2024, and Intel Gamer Days 2024. They have since placed second at CCT Season 2 South American Series #3 but proved far less successful in the two qualifiers - Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: South American Qualifier and ESL Challenger Katowice 2024: South American Open Qualifier with sixth-eighth and fifth-eighth-place finishes, respectively.

Looking at their past results, things don’t look too good either, as ODDIK have won just two of the last eight series, despite facing mostly weaker, regional opponents. One exception were paiN Gaming, who ODDIK faced twice and lost both maps with 8-13 and 11-13.

ODDIK are fairly unproven on the international stage, and seeing them struggle against other South American Counter-Strike esports teams does not inspire much confidence. So it makes sense for Stake to have them priced as 3.10 underdogs for the upcoming affair.

ODDIK Squad & Team News


ODDIK have not made any roster changes since July.

  • João "naitte" Maia
  • João "matios" Guedes
  • Adriano "WOOD7" Cerato
  • Victor "togs" Rapassi
  • Italo "ksloks" Meinberg

Verdict

BIG are not very consistent and their past results would confirm that. However, despite their up-and-down results over the last month, the German squad are objectively the better team here.

BIG have been playing much tougher opponents than ODDIK over the last few weeks and still produced better results, confirming that there is indeed a quality difference between the two squads.

While this is a BO1 series, which does favour the underdogs, BIG should not struggle to walk away with a comfortable victory.
