Esports Betting Tips: Thursday, April 30th
Alliance vs OG.Seed
DOTA2 WePlay! Pushka League Season 1: Division 1
Alliance have edged past OG on Thursday and are now set to defeat OG's academy team OG.Seed, who they already defeated at ESL One Los Angeles 2020 Europe Closed Qualifier back in February. As for the teams' results so far this tournament, OG.Seed have yet to win a single match, although they did play a three-map series against both Nigma and NiP. Alliance, on the other side, edged past Team Liquid (2-1) and most recently defeated OG (2-1) but failed to see the same success against Team Secret.
Bookmakers have Alliance priced at 1.33, which seems about fair. Although Alliance are by no means a team I expect will win the title, they have shown a lot of quality in their win over OG and if they can come into this match with the same fire, Alliance should come out ahead with relative ease. It's difficult to say whether Alliance are capable of a clean sweep. They can be strong, but at the same time, Alliance have their flaws, which OG.Seed will happily exploit. With that in mind, it's much safer to assume this match will end in a three-map series rather than a clean sweep from Alliance. I still firmly believe Alliance should claim the spoils, but due to their occasional iffy displays, signing with them to cover the handicap seems a bit too optimistic at the provided odds.
Team Secret vs Team Liquid
DOTA2 WePlay! Pushka League Season 1: Division 1
It took them a while, but Team Liquid finally won a match against Nigma on Sunday, only to get back to their old ways on Monday, when they lost to Alliance. Although the match was close and Liquid looked decent, being only decent won't cut it here. Many times I have sided against Liquid before and not because I hold any grudge against them, but simply because this team does not play at the level I nor anyone expect them to. Team Secret are without a doubt the stronger side and while ran into some issues against OG (2-1) on Wednesday, we can't criticise them too much for it, as it was OG, who, as we know match up nicely with Secret.
In all fairness, I don't see this match ending in any other way that Secret claiming a clean sweep. There are only a few teams that can compare to Secret and while even they can have their iffy moments, we will trust them to deliver and claim the spoils against the struggling Liquid.

Alternate Attax vs Demolition Crew
CS:GO ESEA MDL Season 34 Europe
Alternate Attax are coming into the match back after winning ESEA Advanced Season 33 Europe, where they lost only one match against Endpoint, although they got their revenge against the Brits in the grand finals, without dropping a single map (besides the +1 Endpoint got for securing a grand finals berth via the upper bracket. As for the other teams they beat, Alternate Attax weren't particularly strong good teams. They triumphed over SJ, twice against Salamander and once against Prima. Despite their success in S33, it's worth noting that Alternate Attax haven't played a competitive match in over one month, so they might be coming into the match a little rusty. Nonetheless, Alternate Attax will surely fancy their chances against their next opponents.
Demolition Crew are coming into the matches in terrible form, with only one win over the last five matches and even that win was against the newly established Illiminar, so it's hard to praise the too much for that accomplishment. What's more, Demolition Crew They boast a terrible 27.3% win rate over the last past three months and I highly doubt they will be coming into the match in good spirits. In all fairness, there is only one way this match can go, and that is with Alternate Attax coming out ahead with relative ease.
