European Development Championship S3 betting tips – 1/5/2021

ESB’s free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive betting tips for Saturday focus on the quarter-finals of the European Development Championship Season 3. Here are our best bets for those games, with top odds courtesy of BetOnline.


1win and SKADE will clash in the opening match of the European Development Championship Season 3 playoffs. It will mark only their second meeting in history and their first since late March, when SKADE claimed a 2-0 sweep.

SKADE have since played 48 fixtures and won all but nine (39-9), although five of those losses have come in their last six matches. During that stretch, SKADE lost against FunPlus Phoenix, EPG Family (formerly ex-Winstrike), Sprout, K23, and Endpoint.

1win have played 18 games during that time and won 13. They enter this match off two consecutive losses against Trident and 100PingGods.

SKADE might have been more successful throughout April, but due to their recent drop in form, it’s hard to side with them at the offered odds. 1win might seem weaker on paper, but they have at least been winning games, so they should be able to take at least one map from the Bulgarians.



SINNERS Esports have yet to lose against Anonymo Esports. They’re 2-0 up in the head-to-head with a clean sweep in late March and a 16-12 victory from just under two weeks ago.

Regardless of SINNERS’ success against Anonymo, we wouldn’t write off the Poles just yet. They enter this match with a 2-2 record from their last four, which includes clean sweeps against ENCE and Dignitas, as well as a very impressive performance against Complexity (1-2).

SINNERS have won three of their last four, although they faced much weaker teams in Apeks and Young Ninjas (twice).

We don’t have to complicate things too much. Anonymo have been the better team of late and are a bit underestimated at this price.



ENCE are not exactly a top-tier team and hardly ever amaze their fans. They had a moment of brilliance in the ESL Pro League a few weeks back when they took down G2 Esports and Team Vitality, but outside of that, the finished Finns haven’t impressed much.

Just this week, ENCE lost to Anonymo, Movistar Riders and Double Poney, which isn’t very inspiring. Sprout haven’t been moving any mountains recently either, producing a mix of solid and some less-convincing results across April.

This match can easily go either way, and it will all come down to which side shows up on Saturday. This makes Sprout the better pick, but at the offered odds, we like our chances with over 2.5 maps better.



Sangal Esports and Endpoint have met only twice before, way back in February. Endpoint won both fixtures, 2-1 and 2-0, and are expected to do it again on Saturday.

This, however, is no longer the same Endpoint from back then. They now field two new faces in Thomas “Thomas” Utting and William “mezii” Merriman, who are averaging some of the highest marks in the team (1.11 and 1.29 respectively).

Sangal have also made a roster change, signing Efekan “S3NSEY” Topaloğlu. The Austrian CS:GO pro joined the team just over a week ago and has since averaged a 0.97 rating, failing to reach positive marks in his last six maps.

Sangal are capable of causing an upset here, but we wouldn’t count on it. Endpoint are in great form and are playing far too well for us to doubt them.
