Following a solid start to the YaLLa Compass 2024 Summer Contenders Stage, when they defeated Team Sampi, Illuminar Gaming slipped against EYEBALLERS and SINNERS Esports. With two defeats, the Poles are in real danger of failing to reach the main draw.

Dynamo Eclot also won their first match of the tournament, against 1win, but lost the next two against Into the Breach and Passion UA. However, unlike Illuminar, the favourites are not winless in their last seven outings and have not looked shaky against weaker opponents over the last week.

Both sides have been struggling lately, and even though Illuminar Gaming have a worse record heading into this series, Dynamo Eclot are at a very similar level quality-wise. Expect a scrappy affair.

SINNERS Esports and EYEBALLERS will face off for the first time since June, when EYEBALLERS won 2-1. Both teams have made roster changes since then, so past head-to-head results do not hold much weight.

EYEBALLERS have lost six matches in a row, most recently going down 11-13 to Dynamo Eclot in an IEM Rio qualifier. On the other side, SINNERS Esports are 6-4 from their last 10 outings, and that form is reflected in the offered betting odds.

EYEBALLERS produced some solid results before the recent dry streak, and they boast similar quality to SINNERS. At $1.51 with top Counter-Strike betting sites, it is hard to look past the outsiders to take a map.

Esports betting tips

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.

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.
