Esports Betting Tips: Tuesday October 25th
9INE vs ENTERPRISE esports - CCT Central Europe Series #3
9INE won their CCT Central Europe Series #3 opening match agianst For The Win with a very dominant performance. The Polish squad won the match with 16-6 on Vertigo and 16-8 on Overpass, with the whole squad averaging a +1.02 rating.
Kamil “KEi” Pietkun stood with a 1.51 rating, followed by Kacper “Kylar” Walukiewicz at 1.33, and Krzysiek “Goofy” Gorski, who ended the match with 1.25. It was a complete blow out but an expected one. So while 9INE deserve recognition for their performance, I wouldn’t overreact to that win.
After that, 9INE faced Young Ninjas, who proved to be a much tougher nut to crack. Even though 9INE looked solid on Nuke (16-7), they struggled to come out ahead on Dust 2 (13-16) and Vertigo (14-16). It was a close match, though, so there’s no harm in losing by three rounds.
ENTERPRISE Esports lost their opening match against HONORIS (0-2) but bounced back with an explosive performance against HAVU, who they reverse swept, with 12-16 on Ancient, 16-12 on Mirage, and 16-11 on Dust 2. That win alone has earned ENTERPRISE the tag of favourites for this match, but I would argue that the odds would look much different had 9INE won against Young Ninjas.
This seems like a coin-flip match at best; however, I would much rather be on the side of 9INE. They’ve been playing cleaner CS:GO over the last weeks and have shown strong performances against teams much stronger than ENTERPRISE.
HONORIS vs SINNERS Esports - CCT Central Europe Series #3
With a win against ENTERPRISE esports (2-0) and a defeat against IKLA (0-2), HONORIS are now 1-1 as they take on SINNERS esports, who have produced the exact same record, with a win against Wolsung (2-0) and a loss against AGO (1-2).
I wouldn’t say that one team looked much better than the other, and yet the esports betting sites have HONORIS priced as 2.00 underdogs, which likely has to do with SINNERS Esports’ close series against AGO, who they could’ve easily beaten.
SINNERS led 9-6 against AGO after the first half on Ancient but lost the second half 5-10, thus came two rounds short of winning the first map. And had they done it, the series would’ve ended on Overpass, which SINNERS won 16-10.
I don’t believe one strong performance means much, but considering how little there is to separate SINNERS and HONORIS, I have to consider that SINNERS have looked better in their most recent outings. Take SINNERS Esports to win at 1.72.

Tricked Esports vs AGO - CCT Central Europe Series #3
Tricked Esports and AGO enter the third round of CCT Central Europe Series #3 with perfect records. Tricked have won against Ungentium (2-1) and Dynamo Eclot (2-1), while AGO bested Into the Breach (2-1) and SINNERS Esports (2-1).
The betting odds for this match show Tricked as 1.44 favourites, which makes no sense in my book. They might look stronger on paper, but they haven’t won anything noteworthy lately. Just across their last three matches, Tricked lost against Astralis Talent (1-2) and Copenhagen Flames (1-2), while they struggled against ex-SKADE (2-1).
I can’t say that AGO have produced any more noteworthy results over the last few weeks, but their performances weren’t much worse than Tricked’s. The Danes should win, but this is a very winnable match for AGO.
