Pinnacle Cup II betting picks & top odds – Friday 2/7/2021

ESB’s free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive betting tips for Friday, July 2 focus on two bouts at Pinnacle Cup II. Here are our best bets for Team Fiend vs Young Ninjas and ENCE vs Team One, with top odds courtesy of BetOnline.


Team Fiend and Young Ninjas last met just over two weeks back at European Development Championship Season 4, when Team Fiend won with 16-11. The Bulgarian squad have since played 15 games and won all but five.

Young Ninjas have played 14 games during that stretch and won only four, against KOVA (16-14), Sangal (2-1), Zaran’s Jeans (16-11), and NASR Esports (16-11). Obviously, Fiend have been playing much better, but this is still a very high number on the Swedes.

Even though Fiend should be favoured to win, the offered betting odds make it worth taking Ninjas with a map advantage. Just last week, Fiend stumbled against 777 Esports (1-2), so it’s not like they can’t drop the ball here as well.


ENCE enter this match as heavy favourites with CS:GO betting sites, which makes sense. They’re a more established team and much higher rated (no.21) than the Brazilians (no.45).

However, ENCE seem like they only do well when their star players Paweł “dycha” Dycha and Olek “hades” Miskiewicz are on point, which isn’t exactly a good trait. Even though the Polish duo have been playing well of late, averaging 1.11 and 1.15 ratings across the last three months respectively, they have had off days before.

TeamOne have recently won the 37th season of North American ESEA: Premier Division, which secured them a spot at the ESL Pro League Season 14. Although they likely won’t make it far in Malta, TeamOne played well in the qualifiers and should cause some damage here. This is an underdog-or-nothing type of match.
