Top eSports Betting Picks of the Week (January 2nd, 2023)

CS:GO

Ungentium vs. LeoGaming

  • When: Friday, Jan. 6, 2023

Favored Ungentium heads into this after beating Team Atlantic 2-1 in their last. Ungentium was on a 3-match losing streak before the win.

LeoGaming has won 4-of-5. The only loss happened in a 2-1 match against ENCE Academy. Ungentium is playing well, but Leo is on fire. Give the slight underdog the nod.

eSports Betting Pick: LeoGaming -102

Los Kogutos vs. FTW Esports

  • When: Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023

Los Kogutos was on a 4-match losing streak when dropping contests to Falcons, 500, IKA, and ALTERNATE aTTax. But in their last, the Kogutos got back on the winning track with a 2-0 victory over Nexus.

FTW has a single victory, over Team Atlantic, in their last 5. This can go either way, which means because Kogutos offers slightly better odds, they get the nod.

eSports Betting Pick: Los Kogutos -105

Dota 2

Xtreme Gaming vs. Aster. Aires

  • When: Friday, Jan. 6, 2023

Chalky Xtreme Gaming has won 4-of-5. The favorite in this did lose their last match, an 0-2 contest against Team Liquid. Aster. Aires has won 2-of-5. Aster is on a 2-match losing streak, falling to Royal Never Give Up and Invictus Gaming in their last couple of matches. Xtreme offers low odds, but they’re tough to go against. The favorite is the play.

eSports Betting Pick: Xtreme Gaming -435

Nemiga Gaming vs. HellRaisers

  • When: Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023

Nemiga was on a 3-match winning streak with wins against PuckChamp, HellRaisers, and Virtus.pro. But in their last, Nemiga fell to Gaimin Gladiators.

The loss makes sense. Nemiga has fallen to Gaimin in the last two head-to-head matches. The chalk in this should get back on track with a big win.

eSports Betting Pick: Nemiga Gaming -222

Xtreme Gaming vs. Team Aster

  • When: Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023

Team Aster has won 2-of-5 with a pair of losses and a draw. The favorite in this fell to Team Liquid in their last.

Xtreme Gaming also lost to Team Liquid in their last. The difference between the two teams is that Liquid beat Xtreme 2-0. Aster scored a game victory in their 2-1 loss to Liquid.

However, the odds on the underdog make them more than playable. Xtreme can get the victory. Grabbing the +116 on the underdog makes sense.

eSports Betting Pick: Xtreme Gaming +116
