Bad News Eagles, formerly Team BLINK, enter this match as +175 underdogs, which isn’t too surprising considering we have yet to see them compete at this level of play, nor have they beaten any notable opponents since forming the team in February. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t have the tools to deal with Entropiq.
We have to remember that this is a best-of-one (Bo1) match, meaning upsets will be common, especially in games like this one where the underdogs field a lot of firepower. Moreover, Entropiq are not exactly a top-tier team, even though they produced a few solid results at ESL Pro League earlier this month.
Individually, Entropiq are stronger, but they don’t deserve to be priced as -250 favourites. This is the same team that lost against ECSTATIC (1-2 twice) and SAW (1-2), so it’s fair to question why esports betting sites are pricing them as such big favourites. Entropiq are still the most likely victors, but the value is with Bad News Eagles.

| Best Odds: | HEET -175.44 at BetOnline | SINNERS +125 at BetOnline |

HEET and SINNERS Esports will clash on Thursday for the first time since Thunderpick Bitcoin Series 2022 in February, when HEET won (2-1) with 13-16 on Inferno, 28-26 on Vertigo, and 19-17 on Nuke. As the final score suggests, that match was extremely close and could have easily ended the other way.
SINNERS played well against HEET in their most recent meeting, and they were just a couple of rounds away from walking away from the series with a 2-0 sweep, so it doesn’t seem fair for the CS:GO betting sites to price them as +125 outsiders.
Admittedly, HEET have shown better form over their last five outings (5-0) than SINNERS (3-2), but they’ve faced much weaker opponents in that stretch. A bet on SINNERS to win is appealing, but we prefer overs (27.5) at even money.

ENCE made the finals of ESL Pro League Season 15 just over a week ago and enter the European RMR as one of the hottest teams. However, while ENCE have achieved the unthinkable in Germany, we would take their success with a grain of salt.
With all due respect, ENCE had a very easy road to the finals, mainly because all of the top CS:GO teams underperformed. They still deserve recognition for their accomplishment, but we don’t believe ENCE are as good as they might seem.
Team Spirit have not been too active of late. They participated in the European RMR qualifiers in March, and before that they won Malta Vibes Knockout Series #6 – way back in February. Moreover, the Russians don’t have a single official match on their record over the last month, so they might be a bit rusty.
Still, we would not sleep on Spirit, who have a roster more than capable of going toe-to-toe with ENCE. We don’t expect to see Spirit upset ENCE, but we don’t expect a complete blowout either.
