Details

We see the market pricing BB Team as a clear favorite (home moneyline 1.333, implied ~75%). With no external match intel available, we apply conservative assumptions and account for bookmaker overround. The away price of 3.36 implies ~29.8% chance; we estimate 9z's true chance at ~30.5% based on conservative underdog uplift for qualifier matches and variance in CS2 play. At our estimated probability 0.305, the required fair decimal odds are ~3.279, so the offered 3.36 represents positive edge. EV = 0.305 * 3.36 - 1 = +0.0248 (≈ +2.48% ROI). Given limited information, we remain cautious but identify small value on 9z at the current price.

Key factors

• • Bookmaker overround: favorite price (1.333) implies ~75% which likely overstates certainty
• • High inherent variance in CS2 qualifiers increases upset probability for underdogs
• • No external match-specific info -> conservative probability estimates to avoid overconfidence
