Esports Betting Tips: Monday, March 6 2023
SINNER Esports vs HAVU
CCT North Europe Series #4
SINNERS Esports and HAVU will meet on Monday, March 6, in CCT North Europe Series #4 Round 3 High Matches, when the two squads will compete for a spot leading directly into the playoffs. SINNERS Esports enter this match after two commanding victories against Endpoint (2-0) and Viperio (2-0), whereas HAVU picked two 2-1 wins against Into the Breach and ECSTATIC.
The two CS:GO teams haven't played a match since their last CCT North Europe Series #4 fixture, but were involved in other tournaments before that. SINNERS exited Tipsport Cup Prague Spring 2023: Invite Qualifier with two rough losses against Crypt (2-16) and ENTERPRISE esports (6-16), while HAVU failed to show up in the Paris Major RMR but then won two games against Monte and JANO.
SINNERS' losses in Tipsport Cup Prague Spring 2023: Invite Qualifier stand out since they lost agianst much weaker squads, but looking at those games, it's obvious that SINNERS likely didn't care too much about the tournament.
Past results don't help with figuring out which of the two is a stronger team and if we go purely by players' talent, I would say that SINNERS and HAVU are far apart. HAVU's recent two wins were very underwhelming, not to mention that they lost against ITB (1-2), 500 (0-2), and Illuminar Gaming (0-2) just over one week ago.
This should be a close game, so I'm taking over 2.5 maps.

Endpoint vs ATK
BetBoom Playlist. Urbanistic
Endpoint are expected to dominate ATK on Monday, which mostly has to do with the idea that ATK are weak. I wouldn't say that they're strong, but pricing them at 3.25 against Endpoint seems a bit too much.
ATK have placed inside the top four across all events they've attended this season, except for ESEA Cash Cup: North America - Winter 2023 #2 (5th-8th) and BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: North American RMR Qualifier (9th-11th). Moreover, most of their victories came against lesser teams from their region, but ATK looked good in their wins.
Endpoint are getting way more respect since they're a European team, but that doesn't mean much if they've won two of their last six games, and even those came against Into the Bin. Looking further back, Endpoint are 5-9 since their exit from CCT West Europe Series #1, and their only wins worth mentioning over that run were against Illuminar Gaming (2-0) and IKLA (2-0).
I don't expect this to be an easy match for ATK, but based on what I've seen from Endpoint, I wouldn't be shocked if they end up losing. ATK to win at 3.25 with bet365 is worth a look, but I'm taking the underdogs with a +1.5 map handicap.

Sangal Esports vs GODSENT
BetBoom Playlist. Urbanistic
Sangal Esports disposed of Endpoint (2-0) in the first round of BetBoom Playlist. Urbanistic Swiss Stage and are now set to face GODSENT, who made it past Sprout (2-1) in a very close reverse sweep.
GODSENT lost the first map of the series against Sprout (10-16) and needed overtime to win on Ancient (19-15) before closing it out with a dominant showing on Inferno (16-9). But we must mention that it was Sprout's first match with Rasmus "Zyphon" Nordfoss back in the roster, so I wouldn't overreact to it.
Since that victory, GODSENT have played two games, against BIG Academy (0-2) and Partizan Esports (2-1), which isn't perfect; however, those are results you would expect from this squad. Over their last nine fixtures, GODSENT have won just four while facing teams of similar quality than Sangal.
Sangal Esports are in a similar spot results-wise. They're 5-5 with some questionable losses, including against VOYVODA (0-2) and Lazer Cats (14-16), but then they've also won against HEET (2-0) and Let us cook (2-1).
It's common for teams at this level to be inconsistent, and I don't expect that to change here, but Sangal Esports are the right choice. Unlike GODSENT, Sangal have a solid map pool and a more well-rounded squad, so I don't mind taking them at 1.75.
