OG is hoping to break into the top 5 teams in the CS:GO tour with good displays at the DreamHack Open Fall 2020 after failing to win the IEM New York 2020 Europe. They defeated BIG, FaZe, and fnatic on the road to the Grand final at that tournament, but FaZe got its revenge with a comfortable 3-0 victory, so OG had to settle with the vice-champions title and $30,000. OG won nine of the last 16 games.

fnatic vs. OG Betting Preview
fnatic will definitely be motivated to finally record the first win over OG and get revenge for the latest loss, but I don’t think they are good enough to do it. This group with Vitality and mousesports alongside fnatic and OG is too strong for the Swedes, in my opinion, and only a win here would keep them alive in the playoff race. I believe that will not happen, and I am going with OG.
