After nearly two years of searching, Bad News Eagles has finally found a new home as Guild Esports announces the acquisition of their roster.

The team will now compete under the name Guild Eagles, marking a significant milestone for both the organization and the players involved.

Guild, a UK-based organization, had previously entered the Counter-Strike scene by signing a female team in March.

With the addition of the ex-Bad News Eagles roster, Guild expands its presence in the Valve shooter, securing its first male roster just in time for the upcoming PGL Copenhagen Major.

Building a roster from scratch can be a time-consuming and uncertain process.

However, acquiring the complete Bad News Eagles roster offers Guild Esports a ready-made team with a proven track record.

This not only brings an established synergy among the players but also eliminates the need for a lengthy trial-and-error phase.

The roster’s past success as underdogs adds a compelling narrative to Guild’s entry into CS2, generating immediate fan interest and showcasing the advantages of signing a cohesive and experienced unit over piecing together individual talents.

The newly acquired roster, comprised of Flatron “?juanflatroo?” Halimi, Rigon “?rigoN?” Gashi, Genc “?gxx-?” Kolgeci, Sener “?SENER1?” Mahmuti, and Dionis “?sinnopsyy?” Budeci, has been without organizational support for almost two years.

Despite this, they attended three Majors and consistently reached the Legends stage, becoming a much-celebrated underdog story in the Counter-Strike community.

The coaching staff, featuring Jonatan “?Devilwalk?” Lundberg and Kevin “?kRYSTAL?” Amend, has also transitioned to Guild.

Lundberg praised Guild’s vision, mentioning that despite receiving offers from multiple organizations during their time as an unsigned team, Guild was the most closely aligned with their goals in CS2.

He expressed confidence in Guild’s facilities and staff, affirming that it is the place where they belong to reach the next level.

The Guild Eagles roster, along with their coaching staff, is set to make their debut under the new organization in the CCT 2023 Online Finals 4.

Their first challenge will be against Preasy in the upper-bracket quarter-final, providing an early glimpse of their potential with Guild.

The roster, now officially representing Guild Eagles, consists of players from Kosovo and Switzerland, highlighting the diverse international composition of the team.

Jasmine Skee, CEO of Guild Esports, expressed excitement about the acquisition, stating that the trajectory of the Bad News Eagles roster has been inspirational and embodies the attitude valued at Guild Esports.

She emphasized the organization’s commitment to supporting the team on their journey in CS2, especially with the release of CS2 providing an opportune time to increase Guild’s presence in Counter-Strike.

Guild Esports’ strategic move to acquire the Bad News Eagles roster marks an important moment in their Counter-Strike journey.

With a celebrated underdog story, a visionary coaching staff, and an imminent debut in the CCT 2023 Online Finals, Guild is poised to make a significant impact.

The decision to integrate an established roster not only reflects Guild’s commitment to success but also underscores the benefits of embracing a complete unit rather than assembling one from scratch.

As the team takes flight, the Counter-Strike community eagerly awaits the unfolding chapters of this partnership, anticipating a harmonious blend of talent, experience, and the potential for further underdog triumphs in the competitive scene.

G2 Esports have been eliminated from the BLAST.tv Paris Major after losing their third series of the Legends Stage to Fnatic on Monday.

G2 entered the final CS:GO Major as the pre-tournament favourites with most esports betting sites, but defeats in their first two series meant they could not afford to lose another.

The reigning BLAST Premier World Final and IEM Katowice champions began their series against Fnatic with a hard-fought overtime victory on Inferno (19-16), before they lost 11-16 on Ancient to send the series to a third map.

On Vertigo, Fnatic jumped out to a 9-6 lead in the first half and appeared to be in control of the map.

Even though G2 won seven straight rounds on their CT side and took the lead at 13-12, the world no.15 levelled up at 13 apiece before rattling off three more rounds to take the victory and send G2 home.

Due to the loss, Nikola ��NiKo�� Kovac will never lift a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major trophy.

NiKo came close on several occasions in his seven years of professional play — notably at the 2018 ELEAGUE Boston and 2021 PGL Major Stockholm Majors when he made the grand final, but his team lost on both occasions.

ENCE and Bad News Eagles joined G2 Esports in being eliminated from the Major, while Monte, Team Liquid and GameLegion advanced to the Champions Stage after taking their records to 3-1.

The final day of the Legends Stage will feature three cracking series, opening with a sudden-death blockbuster between FaZe Clan and Natus Vincere.

The other two series will see Fnatic meet Into The Breach and Apeks take on Ninjas in Pyjamas in do-or-die best-of-three series to end the Legends Stage.

Day 7 matches

  • Natus Vincere (+100) vs FaZe Clan (-138.89)
  • Into The Breach (+162) vs Fnatic (-227.27)
  • Apeks (+150) vs Ninjas in Pyjamas (-200)

]]>
The opening days of the Legends Stage at the BLAST.tv Paris Major produced several upsets, with pre-tournament fancies G2 Esports and FaZe Clan dropping their opening two matches to set up potential tournament-ending series on Sunday.

G2 began their main event with a best-of-one series against Team Vitality on Saturday, when they were beaten in a thrilling 29-round match.

The world no.3 was then defeated by Bad News Eagles in the second round by the same 16-13 scoreline, resulting in them dropping into the 0-2 pool for an elimination fixture with FURIA.

FaZe Clan have taken the long way through the RMR, Challengers Stage and now the Legends Stage for this final CS:GO Major.

The world no.5 claimed the last spot in the Major by taking out the Last Chance Qualifier, and now the European squad will have to win three straight series to make the playoffs later this week.

After drawing Heroic as their opening opponent in the Legends Stage on Saturday, the odds were stacked against FaZe, and as the all-Danish squad destroyed them 16-7, it appeared as though the 2022 PGL Antwerp Major winners were going to bounce back against Into The Breach with a steadying win.

However, the team ranked 22 spots lower than FaZe brought their A-game and took Inferno 16-12, dropping Finn ��karrigan�� Andersen and his squad into an elimination clash with 9INE on Sunday.

Fortunately for G2 and FaZe supporters, both rosters produced some of their best Counter-Strike to win 2-0 over FURIA and 9INE, respectively, and eliminate those two teams from the tournament.

At the other end of the spectrum, Heroic and Team Vitality became the first two teams to qualify for the Champions Stage, after they completed their own undefeated 3-0 runs across Saturday and Sunday with wins over Team Liquid and Monte in best-of-three promotion series.

Heroic and Vitality came into the BLAST.tv Paris Major as the world’s top two CS:GO teams, and they would have to be the two clear favourites to be crowned Major champions at the end of the week.

Round four of the Legends Stage will feature another six matches on Monday, with three 1-2 pool series where the losers will be eliminated and three 2-1 pool series which will see the winners promoted to the Champions Stage.

  • 1-2 Pool BO3 (Elimination Series)

    • ENCE (-188.68) vs Ninjas in Pyjamas (+137) @ 11:30 CET
    • FaZe Clan (-333.33) vs Bad News Eagles (+240) @ 11:30 CET
    • Fnatic (+300) vs G2 Esports (-454.55) @ 15:30 CET
  • 2-1 Pool BO3 (Promotion Series)

    • Monte (+240) vs Natus Vincere (-333.33) @ 15:30 BST

Now we can put the Challengers Stage behind us, and look forward to the Legends Stage with the first eight series on Saturday being best-of-one matches between the remaining 16 teams in the main event of the BLAST.tv Paris Major. Below you will find our preview and best bets for each of the eight games on day one of the Legends Stage, with odds courtesy of the best esports betting sites.


9INE vs TEAM LIQUID CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: 9INE -125 at BetOnline | TL -111.11 at BetOnline
When: May 13, 2023 | 11:30 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier)

The opening series of the Legends Stage will see the all-Polish roster of 9INE taking on North American roster of Team Liquid.

9INE were very good in their European RMR, where they won all three of the matches and defeated Team Vitality to finish on top of Europe RMR B, seeing them qualify straight into the Legends Stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major. Team Liquid struggled in both the Americas RMR and the Challengers Stage, where they came back from an 0-2 start to finish 3-2 and become the last team to qualify for the Legends Stage.

After Team Liquid struggled in the Challengers Stage, and now they come up against the second seed in the Legends Stage, we will be taking 9INE to win this series.

NATUS VINCERE vs GAMERLEGION CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: NAVI -400 at BetOnline | GL +275 at BetOnline
When: May 13, 2023 | 11:30 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier)

This series between world no. 3 Natus Vincere and world no.35 GamerLegion appears to be one of the more lop-sided series of the opening round, with the top seed of the Legends Stage taking on the bottom and 16th seed.

Natus Vincere are coming into the BLAST.tv Paris Major as the equal-third favourite to go all the way, and they will come up against the team with the longest odds, who had to qualify through the Challengers Stage to make the main event. NaVi compete against the best CS:GO teams in the world each and every tournament, while this be GamerLegion��s second S-Tier event for the year.

We are currently getting -111.11 for Natus Vincere to win this best-of-one by six rounds or more and we think that is great odds for a match that looks very one-sided.

FNATIC vs NINJAS IN PYJAMAS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: Fnatic +100 at BetOnline | NiP -138.89 at BetOnline
When: May 13, 2023 | 13:00 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier)

Fnatic were very impressive in Europe RMR A, where they won three straight matches against Vipero, 1WIN and B8 to finish second and qualify automatically for the Legends Stage as the fourth seed. Meanwhile, Ninjas in Pyjamas had to go through the Challengers Stage to make their way into the Legends Stage, but they were one of the most impressive and surprising teams at the opening stage of the Major, winning three of their four series to qualify as the 13th seed.

Although Fnatic, the world no.15, may have had an easier RMR run to qualify for the Major, you have to beat the teams that are put in front of you, much like NiP did in the Challengers Stage. The last time these teams met in a best-of-one series at the IEM Rio Major, Fnatic won 16-13, and we expect a similar tight contest here.

FURIA vs MONTE CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: FURIA -151.52 at BetOnline | Monte +110 at BetOnline
When: May 13, 2023 | 13:00 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier)

FURIA will hold all the hopes of Brazilian Counter-Strike fans, as they will be the only Brazilian team left in the BLAST.tv Paris Major, and they will take on Monte in their opening round series of the Legends Stage.

The all-Brazilian roster of FURIA is currently ranked as the eighth best team in the world. FURIA were dominant in their RMR, winning all four of their series to earn automatic qualification into the Legends Stage and they are coming off a fifth-sixth-place finish at IEM Rio 2023 at their last event. Monte was very good in the Challengers Stage, where they pushed FaZe Clan and defeated TheMongolz and paiN Gaming, but they don��t have the quality to beat a team like FURIA.

Most esports betting sites are offering a 2.5 round handicap for FURIA, and we are more than happy to take that, as we anticipate a rather comfortable victory for the favourites in this clash.

HEROIC vs FAZE CLAN CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: Heroic -138.89 at BetOnline | FaZe +100 at BetOnline
When: May 13, 2023 | 14:30 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier)

The fifth series of the day will feature two teams that know each other very well, with the no.1 team in the world Heroic taking on world no.5 FaZe Clan. These two met twice in the BLAST Premier Fall Final in November of last year both teams splitting the meetings, while they split both of their best-of-one series at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups in August last year.

So far this year, Heroic as finished second at IEM Katowice, fifth-eighth at ESL Pro League 17 and second at IEM Rio 2023, so they will be looking to break their streak of good performances and win their first Major as an organisation.

As for their opponents, FaZe Clan, the European roster and recently awarded Intel Grand Slam winners showed that they are here to win in the Challengers Stage of the Paris Major. Even with their loss to ENCE thrown in the mix, FaZe look to be back at their best and they are one team that you don��t want to face late in the tournament.

Four of the last five maps between these two have covered the 26.5 total maps line, so we will be backing that into salute once again in this series.

INTO THE BREACH vs APEKS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: ITB +162 at BetOnline | Apeks -227.27 at BetOnline
When: May 13, 2023 | 14:30 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier)

One of the more interesting series of the opening round will be the matchup between Into The Breach and Apeks, with both teams being ranked outside the top 25 in the world, but they are the sixth and 11th seed, respectively. When it gets to the pointy end of the BLAST.tv Paris Major, we don��t expect to see either of these teams there, but it if they can rattle off a couple of early wins, who knows how far they can go.

Into The Breach qualified through the Europe RMR A after they finished third. Apeks had to go through the Challengers Stage where they were one of the more impressive teams, making history in their 16-0 trashing of Grayhound, becoming the second team to ever win 16-0 at a Major.

Apeks were dominated by G2 in their first promotion series 0-2, while Into The Breach pushed Natus Vincere to double overtime in a thrilling 19-22 loss in their opening RMR series, which indicates to us that the outsiders in this match is a better bet here.

When: May 13, 2023 | 16:00 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier)

Bad News Eagles are coming off a fourth-place finish in the Europe RMR A and a second-place finish at ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 at their most recent event, before going into the Legends Stage the BLAST.tv Paris Major. Their opponents and world no.9 ENCE appears to be back at their best, after they went through the Challengers Stage undefeated and qualified as the ninth seed.

ENCE defeated OG, Ninjas in Pyjamas and FaZe Clan in their Challengers Stage run, which was the toughest run of games of any team, in our opinion. Coming up against Bad News Eagles in their opening match of the Legends Stage will be at a similar level, so we could have a very good series on our hands here, and the gap between the two in the market is too big.

At the IEM Rio 2023 Europe Closed Qualifier these two played out back-to-back 16-12 maps, so with the total rounds sitting at 26.5 rounds, we are more than happy to back them to cover the line.

TEAM VITALITY vs G2 ESPORTS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Best Odds: Vitality +100 at BetOnline | G2 -138.89 at BetOnline
When: May 13, 2023 | 16:00 CET
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/blastpremier)

Along with the Heroic vs FaZe Clan clash earlier in the day, this match between Team Vitality and G2 Esports will be one of the better best-of-one series for the opening round of the Legends Stage.

Team Vitality is currently the world no.2 in CSGO esports and are coming off a strong performance at IEM Rio 2023 where they won six-straight series to take out the $250,000 tournament in late April. Vitality was victorious last time these teams met, at the BLAST.tv Paris Major Europe RMR B, where they took the series 2-0 (16-13, 16-8).

G2 Esports had to settle for a Challengers Stage spot, after they struggled in the Europe RMR B, with that loss to Vitality sending knocking them out in fifth place. The former world no.1 team dropped to no.4 in the world after they finished in 9th-12th place at ESL Pro League 17. G2 are the current esports betting sites favourite, so no matter the result in this match, we expect them to go a long way and challenge for the Major title.

With both teams playing a high level and wanting to make a strong statement in their opening series, we will be taking the overs in the total maps market.

Movistar Riders emerged as the winners of the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 on April 30 after beating out Bad News Eagles in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive event��s grand final.

The Spanish lineup did not drop a single map in their victory run, snagging their first LAN trophy of the year. With the win, Movistar Riders will receive $50,000 out of the $100,000 prize pool in addition to a place in the ESL Pro League Season 18.

Bad News Eagles, the runners-up, received $20,000, while ECSTATIC and Grayhound got $10,000 out of the sum. Complexity and Rare Atom came in next at $3,000, with EG Black and VERTEX winning $2,000.

Movistar Riders’ game against Bad News Eagles was a rematch between the teams following the Spanish squad’s earlier win. While Bad News Eagles seemed to have shaken off the loss with wins over Grayhound and Rare Atom, the outcome was similar to the first match.

Movistar Riders won Bad News Eagles in two maps during their best of three, taking home the trophy. Alejandro “?alex?” Masanet performed amazingly during the match, recording the highest numbers and pushing his team to victory.

The player averaged a 1.30 rating, won six clutches, and recorded 78.2% KAST. Movistar Riders�� victory was also aided by the efforts of Alejandro “?mopoz?” Fern��ndez-Quejo Cano and the squad��s in-game leader Antonio “?Martinez?” Martinez. The rifler��s efforts on the T side, in addition to ?Martinez?��s lay with the AWP, powered the team to victory.

Movistar Riders were initially not part of the tournament and only joined four days before the event started. ESL invited the squad to compete following TheMongolz’s withdrawal from the event.

The team began their climb to the top in the group stage, where they snagged a victory from Rare Atom on Anubis. The close match extended to overtime before Movistar Riders managed to beat out Rare Atom.

Their next match-up was the first game against Bad News Eagles, where they beat out the team to win a place alongside Group B��s highest seed in the playoffs. Movistar moved up to the event’s semi-finals, pairing off with the Danish lineup ECSTATIC in their first best-of-three fixture.

Movistar Riders proved too much for the Danish squad despite their earlier win over Complexity, North America’s highest representatives in the tournament. The squad dealt out a clean sweep to ECSTATIC, securing a place in the event��s finals.

Movistar Rider��s victory has secured the squad their second ESL Challenger trophy following their first win in Valencia, Spain, last summer albeit with a different lineup. Rather than Pere “?sausol?” Solsona Saumell and Matinez, the previous squad consisted of Ra��l “?DeathZz?” Jord��n Nieto and Alvaro “?SunPayus?” Garcia.

Movistar Rider��s next tournament is the ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe, which will carry on for the next few weeks. They are also set to compete in ESL Pro League Season 18 between August 31 and October 1.

Complexity arrive in Melbourne as the highest-ranked team at the event (no.18), and they come off a promising BLAST.tv Paris Major Americas RMR where they finished fourth and qualified for the Challengers Stage. This Complexity roster has been together for over eight months now and performed quite well domestically; however, the jury is still out about how competitive these guys are on the international level.

ECSTATIC may only be a relatively new roster, but they have been in great form of late. The all-Danish squad won their ESL Challenger Melbourne Open and Closed Qualifier, before finishing fifth-eighth at CCT Central Europe Series 5 at their most recent event. ECSTATIC, the world no.55, come into this match with Complexity as massive outsiders, but given the inconsistencies of the North American team, we could see a closer match than many expect.

Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ESL_CSGO)

Evil Geniuses Black will get their ESL Challenger Melbourne campaign underway against one of the two Australian teams, with the world no.48 clashing with Grayhound in their opening round best-of-one series. This Evil Geniuses roster has chopped and changed over the last six months due to a lack of results, with three new players added. However, with this current roster, EG Black have finished third in the ESL Challenger League Season 44 North America, won their ESL Challenger Melbourne North America Closed Qualifier and finished third-fourth BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Americas.

The top hope for the Aussies will be Grayhound, with the world no.26 receiving a direct invite to the event due to their ESL ranking. Grayhound are dominating the regional scene, with the all-Australian roster winning the IEM Dallas 2023 Oceania Closed Qualifier and BLAST.tv Paris Major Asia RMR, while they are currently undefeated in ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 16. Grayhound are one of the rough chances to take out this event, but first they need to get through Group A and make the playoffs.

Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ESL_CSGO)

Bad News Eagles make their way to Melbourne off the back of a strong showing in the BLAST.tv Paris Major Europe RMR A, finishing fourth and booking their place in the Legends Stage. Ranked no.23 in the world, BNE are currently on a four-match win streak and appear a very good chance to extend that to five when they take on Vertex in their opening round series. BNE have won four of their last seven best-of-one series, and their form against S-Tier teams in Europe is far superior from most of the teams at ESL Challenger Melbourne.

VERTEX will be the lowest-ranked team at ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, and they look to be up against it in their first series of the tournament. Although the all-Australian squad made it through the Oceania Closed Qualifier, they have been competing in far inferior competition when compared to Bad News Eagles. This should be a one-sided affair.

Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ESL_CSGO)

Rare Atom have improved their world ranking over the last two months, rising from no.74 in the world to their current ranking of no.31. This Chinese squad were in great form before they competed in ESL Pro League 17, where they finished 21st-28th. Since then they have been knocked out in the opening round of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown Europe and failed to qualify for the Paris Major earlier this month.

Movistar Riders are replacing TheMongolz at ESL Challenger Melbourne after the all-Mongolian team withdrew from the event. Movistar are the third-highest-ranked team at this event, currently ranked as the world no.25; however, their form coming into the event is questionable. The all-Spanish roster were bundled out of ESL Pro League 17 in 13th-16th place before they failed to qualify for IEM Dallas as they were knocked out in the opening round.

On Wednesday, Bad New Eagles unveiled Kevin “?kRYSTAL?” Amend as their new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive assistant coach to oversee their activities in the BLAST.tv Paris Major cycle.

kRYSTAL announced the development himself, disclosing that he had helped Bad News Eagles get ready for the Major in the past three weeks. The Kosovar majority squad are set to face off against 1WIN in the opening match of the RMR A on April 6.

“Throughout the RMR and major circle I’ll be the assistant coach of @_badnewseagles,” the German coach wrote.

“My former coach & friend @DevilwalkCSGOD came to me about 3weeks ago & I’ve been helping the guys since then. I sink I can make them even better for RMR ;D Thanks for the trust guys!”

The former player is the second addition to Bad News Eagles’ lineup this year following the signing of the team skipper, Jonatan “?Devilwalk?” Lundberg, in January.

kRYSTAL will assist head coach Jonatan “?Devilwalk?” Lundberg and work alongside fellow assistant coach Kieran “?KayJay?” Playfair. The trio will coach the following players for the BLAST.tv Paris Major cycle:

�� Flatron “?juanflatroo?” Halimi
�� Genc “?gxx-?” Kolgeci
�� Sener “?SENER1?” Mahmuti
�� Rigon “?rigoN?” Gashi
�� Dionis “?sinnopsyy?” Budeci

During kRYSTAL’s time as a pro player, he was with several well-known esports organizations such as ALTERNATE aTTaX, GODSENT, and Sprout. During his stint with PENTA, kRYSTAL was known to make hat-trick Major appearances and led his teammates to the DreamHack Winter 2014 quarter-finals stage as well as the ESL One Katowice 2015.

Prior to joining Bad News Eagles, kRYSTAL worked with CS:GO player Christian “?NaToSaphiX?” Sillassen’s undefined squad for two months as the head coach. Following his departure from pro play and transition to a more behind-the-scenes role in December, he was signed as the head coach in February.

?NaToSaphiX’s team did not find much success with kRYSTAL at the head of things. They recorded their most impressive feat at the CCT South Europe Series 3, where they finished with a 9-16th placement.

Bad News Eagles will compete in the BLAST.tv Paris Major RMR set for April 6 and try to qualify for the team’s third major. The squad’s last two Majors include PGL Antwerp and the IEM Rio. The qualifications made Bad News Eagles the first squad to qualify for Majors with organizational backing since dAT did so for the ESL One Cologne 2014.

IEM Brazil closed qualifiers plagued by tech issues in Europe https://www.academybahamas.com/iem-brazil-closed-qualifiers-plagued-by-tech-issues-in-europe/ https://www.academybahamas.com/iem-brazil-closed-qualifiers-plagued-by-tech-issues-in-europe/#respond Fri, 10 Feb 2023 02:28:24 +0000 https://www.academybahamas.com/?p=28122 The IEM Brazil European closed qualifiers have been plagued by multiple tech issues on the first two days of play.

With IEM Brazil closed qualifiers taking place across Europe from February 9-11, the need for servers and online gameplay to be at their absolute best is a non-negotiable, but that has not been the case.

The European closed qualifiers for the $250,000 CS:GO tournament has been plagued by persistent tech issues, affecting teams like ENCE, Bad News Eagles, BIG and Sprout.

BIG, ENCE and Sprout lost their opening matches to lower-ranked teams, with players reporting that the servers were lagging and the ESEA client was crashing.

The technical issues in the BIG vs Sprout series were so bad that the teams managed only six rounds of play in an hour.

Players from all teams involved didn��t hold back when they displayed their displeasure on social media, with two ENCE players — Pavle ��maden�� Boskovic and Marco ��Snappi�� Pfeffer — posting on their Twitter accounts.

��Two days in a row getting huge lags on three guys because of ESEA client,�� maden said.

��They don��t want to provide us good servers or fix this bug, and that also don��t let us play without the client, we lost full ecos, antiecos, (and) many other rounds because of it.��

Another professional player, commenting on maden��s Twitter thread, declared that ESEA would ��never�� make a public comment to address the issue.

However, ESEA apologised to Snappi and said it was working on getting everything fixed ��as soon as possible��.

With all of the problems with the ESEA servers, and with teams losing crucial rounds on their way to series losses, the legitimacy of the qualifiers are now under fire from many teams and players.

9INE, world number 33, were the first team to qualify for IEM Brazil, with HONORIS and BIG set to play the last series of the closed qualifier at 3:30pm CET on Friday, February 10, for the second and final spot up for grabs.

ESB’s free Counter-Strike: Global Offensive predictions for Saturday, September 17, focus on a pair of Tipsport Cup Prague 2022 Playoffs bouts. Check out our selections for ENTERPRISE esports vs Dynamo Eclot and Bad News Eagles vs SINNERS Esports, with CS:GO betting odds courtesy of BetOnline.


ENTERPRISE ESPORTS vs DYNAMO ECLOT CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: ENT -138.89 at BetOnline | Eclot +100 at BetOnline
When: September 17, 2022 | 15:30 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/playzonecz)

ENTERPRISE esports won Group A of Tipsport Cup Prague 2022 with wins against Entropiq Prague (16-4) and Bad News Eagles (2-1), which might explain why they’re favourites to win this bout. Still, ENTERPRISE haven’t been playing that well of late, winning just one official match since beating BNE at the start of the month.

Notably, they’ve lost against SC e-Sports (11-16) and X (8-16), while their only victory came on Tuesday when ENTERPRISE beat another third-division team in Turow Zgorzelec Esport (16-10). So form-wise, ENTERPRISE are not in a very good spot.

Contrary to ENTERPRISE who have played just nine games (4-2-3) since the turn of the month, Dynamo Eclot have 24 games to their name with 15 wins (15-1-8), including their last three against Sangal Esports (16-9), Partizan Esports (16-4), and 9INE (2-0).

ENTERPRISE esports have won both head-to-head meetings this season, in April and June, but Dynamo Eclot have been playing better of late and are an easy choice at evens or better.

BAD NEWS EAGLES vs SINNERS ESPORTS CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: BNE -188.68 at BetOnline | SINNERS +137 at BetOnline
When: September 17, 2022 | 15:30 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/playzonecz)

Since forming their esports organisation, Bad News Eagles haven’t achieved much success, but the Kosovar squad have still done enough to earn our respect. With an 8-2 record from their last ten outings, Bad News Eagles are not only in solid form, but they also already beat SINNERS Esports (2-0) in July.

  • READ: Bad News Eagles decline offer to join rival teams

    A lot of time has passed since, but it’s not like SINNERS have improved by much over the last two months. They’re 5-0 across their last five, with wins against Cryptova (16-5, 2-0)), TITANS (2-0), Dynamo Eclot (2-0), and Dark Tigers (2-0), but that’s hardly something to write home about.

    Bad News Eagles might not look as dangerous as they did in May-June, however, this is still the same team that reached Legends Stage at PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Consistency might not be their strongest trait, but Bad News Eagles have the talent to sweep SINNERS Esports.
