ESL Challenger League S43 betting picks – Tuesday, November 1

ESB’s free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive predictions for Tuesday, November 1, focus on three ESL Challenger League Season 43 Europe bouts. Here are our selections for AGO vs Team Falcons, HEET vs K23, and Sangal Esports vs SINNERS Esports, with top CS:GO betting odds courtesy of BetOnline.

Over the weekend, AGO crashed out of CCT Central Europe Series #3, marking another tournament in which the Poles failed to show up. AGO had a solid start, winning their opening two games against Into The breach (2-1) and SINNERS Esports (2-1), but have then lost three in a row against Tricked Esports (0-2), 9INE (0-2), and HAVU (0-2).

Team Falcons have not achieved much more of late, winning just two of their last nine outings against HEET (2-1) and Gone (2-0). The Falcons have also lost against ENCE, OG, Outsiders, Entropiq, and HEET (twice).

As a match between two out-of-shape teams, it’s hard to justify having one squad priced as the favourites. Even though Team Falcons had a much tougher schedule earlier this month, losing against stronger teams hardly means more than not playing them at all.

This seems like a 50/50 match, so the value should be with AGO. Alternatively, a bet on over 2.5 maps isn’t a bad choice either.

HEET might have missed qualifying for the IEM Rio Major – with a 1-3 record during the European RMR – but they’ve been playing much better of late and won ESL Championnat National Autumn 2022 last week without dropping a single map.

K23 have looked better than HEET during the European RMR B, where they came one map short of securing their tickets for Brazil. But most importantly, K23 won against HEET (16-13) in the second round of RMR at the start of October, so perhaps they can do it again.

Since the RMR, K23 have played just two official games against Sprout (1-2) and Copenhagen Flames (1-2) and lost both. Yet despite their unconvincing form, the offered CS:GO betting odds underrate K23 a bit.

HEET might look stronger on paper, but based on what we’ve seen from them this month, HEET shouldn’t be priced much lower than -111.11. So at the offered betting odds, K23 are an easy choice.

Sangal Esports made the semifinals of BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 last week, but it must be noted they only had to beat BIG (2-1) to end the tournament inside the top four. Besides that, Sangal haven’t achieved much this month. They came one map short of qualifying for the IEM Rio Major, but their only two wins of the European RMR came against FANTASY and Illuminar Gaming, which is nothing to write home about.

SINNERS have achieved even less this year. Last week, they attended Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 and Global Offensive Champions League Season 1 but failed to produce anything, finishing the events in ninth-12th and seventh-eighth place, respectively.

SINNERS and Sangal are at two wins from their last five outings; however, Sangal had to play much stronger opponents and performed well in some tougher affairs. Sangal have been playing better than SINNERS lately and should win, but we expect them to drop a map – either Vertigo or Mirage.
