Odds — the price at the moment the AI model answered.
Fifth in the Valve ranking does not match what G2 have been producing: four wins and six defeats in their last ten series, with recent losses including a 2-0 to Natus Vincere (34th), plus 2-1 defeats by PARIVISION (36th) and 1win (38th). The map pool also leans towards the underdog. DENDELE CS pick Cache more than anything else — six picks, a 7-5 record — while G2 are 1-4 there, and Nuke is DENDELE CS's first ban every single time, all 15 occasions. G2's best-of-three series have gone to a third map 10 of 20 times, so dropping one map is routine for them, and that is exactly what the DENDELE CS +1.5 map handicap at 1.79 asks for.
Where we could be wrong
The counter is that DENDELE CS reach a decider less often, 6 of 18, and against strong opposition their series have finished without a map: Legacy (2nd) beat them 2-0 and FURIA (7th) did the same. There have been no previous meetings in two years, the veto is still unknown, Cache may never reach the table, and on Ancient and Inferno G2's numbers are clearly better.
