HEET last met with K23 in November, during the 43rd season of ESL Challenger League, when they won 2-0, with 16-14 on Nuke and 16-7 on Overpass. They’ve since played 14 games and produced mixed results and a 6-8 record.
Over the 14-game stretch, HEET took down Astralis, HAVU, and GamerLegion, as some of the most notable wins, but they’ve also lost against Sangal, 500, and EYEBALLERS. Not the best run, but the esports betting sites still have HEET priced as $1.72 favourites for this bout.
That makes sense if we consider that K23 have won just two of their last seven games and have played just one game since December 11, yet even that was an underwhelming 1-1 draw against YNT last week. Regardless, we still see K23 as the better team.
While we don’t know how the latest addition, Kirill “Magnojez” Rodnov, will perform, he has certainly performed well during his stint with Websterz and just might be the played K23 need to bounce back.

TEAM LDLC vs MOVISTAR RIDERS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | LDLC $1.83 at GG Bet | Movistar $1.83 at GG Bet |

Team LDLC are reportedly nearing the signing of Aurélien “afro” Drapier, who would be a significant addition to the French lineup; however, we don’t know whether he’ll debut on Tuesday. But even if we don’t see him play, LDLC look like clear favourites.
Team LDLC enter this bout on a three-game winning streak, with victories against EPG Family, Ungentium, and 500, and are 6-2 over their last eight outings. In contrast, Movistar Riders are 0-5 with defeats against SAW, BLUEJAYS, forZe, Sangal Esports, and Dynamo Eclot. Moreover, the Spanish squad haven’t played an official match since December 15.
We should also consider that LDLC have a better map win% on five of seven maps in the rotation – except for Anubis and Mirage. However, LDLC have no games on Anubis and Mirage, while Movistar Riders’ win rate on the latter map is just 20%.
At $1.83 with GG Bet, we have to side with Team LDLC, with or without afro.
