When you talk about Movistar Riders, you can’t forget to mention their AWPer Owen “smooya” Butterfield. The British CS:GO pro is a vital member of the team and one of the main reasons why Movistar are ranked world no.26 and boast a 62% win rate across the last three months.
The key to stopping Movistar Riders is to shut down smooya. However, not many squads can do that, as evident from the team’s recent results.
AGO enter this match seeking revenge for the 0-2 loss against Movistar during the Flashpoint Season 3 closed qualifiers in April. And while the Poles proved to be no match for smooya and co. last time out, they have been on fire of late, winning seven out of their last eight.
With the form AGO have been showing, there is reason to believe they can win. However, Movistar Riders are still too good for us to believe AGO can come away unharmed. We like the overs here.

IZAKO BOARS VS ANONYMO ESPORTS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | Izako +119 at BetOnline | Anonymo -161.29 at BetOnline |
| When: | May 26, 2021 at 19:00 CEST |

Anonymo Esports really shouldn’t be much higher than -166.67 in this spot. They have faced some of the best teams in the region during the last couple of weeks, and while they haven’t been particularly successful, it’s the experience that counts.
Izako Boars are 5-0 in their last five, but they haven’t beaten any notable teams during that stretch. Regardless, Mateusz “TOAO” Zawistowski and his crew are at least showing good form.
Since this is a Polish derby, there is a world where Izako Boars edge out Anonymo Esports, but we wouldn’t count on it. It may be a close one, but siding with Anonymo is the way to go.

TEAM LDLC vs APEKS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | LDLC -133.33 at BetOnline | Apeks -102.04 at BetOnline |
| When: | May 26, 2021 at 19:00 CEST |
| Watch Live: | Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/esl_csgo) |
Team LDLC enter this match in excellent form, having won all but four of their last 16 games. Those losses came against Double Poney (1-2), Endpoint (1-2), Wisla Krakow (0-2), and Copenhagen Flames (0-2). Apeks, on the other side, are 8-6 across the last month and 5-2 in their last seven.
Although the teams’ form is something to consider, we are primarily interested in the fact that LDLC hold a better win rate on five out of seven maps in the rotation. That essentially means that Lambert “Lambert” Prigent and co. will enjoy the luxury of playing on their best maps, further adding to their advantage.

SAW vs WISLA KRAKOW CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| CS:GO Betting Odds: | SAW -149.25 at BetOnline | Wisla +110 at BetOnline |
| When: | May 26, 2021 at 19:00 CEST |

When SAW and Wisla Krakow met in February, the Poles claimed a reverse-sweep victory with wins on Train (16-11) and Overpass (16-9). The same thing happened in September, although it was SAW who won their last meeting in April with a standalone 19-16 scoreline.
Wisla Krakow are 8-2 in their last 10 yet enter this match as underdogs. That can be explained with SAW’s recent showings, which include wins against Nemiga Gaming (2-0) and world no.8 BIG (2-1).
Although it’s fair to give SAW some praise for those results, we shouldn’t overreact to the odd good performance – especially against an inconsistent team such as BIG. SAW should be favoured, but we don’t expect a one-sided affair.
