?Nemiga Gaming parted ways with Aleksandr “1eeR” Nahornyj last month and added two new faces in Artem “Chill” Mankevich and Andrey “BELCHONOKK” Yasinskiy on trial. The new additions have played reasonably well and have helped Nemiga collect four wins across their last six outings against 1win, PACT, HEET, and Savage.
Still, Nemiga have not looked clean in their matches, and despite their solid win rate across the last month, the CIS squad left a lot to be desired when faced with tougher opponents. Furthermore, they lost their rematch with 1win last week (0-2) when Nemiga crashed out of ESL Challenger League Season 40: Europe.
SKADE made their last roster change at the start of January when the Belarus squad signed Kamen “bubble” Kostadinov and Simeon “dream3r” Ganev and parted ways with Viktor “Duplicate” Mitev. SKADE have since played 11 official matches but won only six, although they have won at least one map in three of their five defeats.
This is a clash between two out-of-form squads, and while SKADE have looked slightly better in their recent outings, they have a limited map pool, suggesting we should be in for a close affair.

DIGNITAS vs FORZE CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| CS:GO Odds: | Dignitas -109.89 at BetOnline | forZe -120.48 at BetOnline |

?Dignitas enter the bout in better form, having won seven games since the turn of the year (7-2), while forZe won five (5-2). So form-wise, Dignitas and forZe are in a similar spot.
However, forZe had to play against much weaker teams, such as Entropiq Prague and lost against BLUEJAYS (14-16) at the end of January. So while forZe are arguably individually stronger than Dignitas, that hasn’t made much of a difference in their recent fixtures.
With the players forZe have, they should come out ahead, but their recent showings leave a lot to be desired, which is why we’re leaning more towards Dignitas for this match. Realistically, Dignitas should be favourites, so if you can get on them at -111.11 or close to that price, they are an excellent bet.
