Monte topped Group A with a perfect 5-0 record and a +34 round differential, proving again that they’re more than comfortable with the game’s new version. Since their final match of the first group stage, Monte have continued their strong form with wins against Aurora Gaming (2-1) and Team Spirit (2-0) and a close defeat against Virtus.pro (1-2).
Looking4Org placed second in Group A with a 4-1 record and just one close defeat against Team Spirit (13-16, 9-13). Like Monte, L40 are in excellent form, having lost just two of their last 17 series
Because Monte have played tougher opponents over the last week, their recent results mean a bit more, but it’s not like Looking4Org have struggled when faced with weaker teams. So, while Monte should be slightly favoured, we’re getting more value by backing the French squad.

SINNERS ESPORTS vs 9INE CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | SINNERS +135 at BetOnline | 9INE -181.82 at BetOnline |

SINNERS Esports finished Group B with a 4-1 record and +45 round differential and just one defeat against Apeks (1-2). They had the luxury of getting seeded into a relatively weak group, but it’s not like the level of opponents in 9INE’s group was much higher.
9INE won Group D with one defeat against Movistar Riders; however, they also dropped maps against Betera and IKLA. This isn’t too surprising for 9INE, who have become known to be somewhat inconsistent with high highs and low lows.
The Poles have a much higher ceiling than SINNERS Esports, which explains the offered Counter-Strike 2 esports betting odds. However, while 9INE should win, SINNERS have a better win rate on four of seven maps in the rotation, which suggests that there is a good chance we’ll see a three-map series.

1WIN vs APEKS CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | 1win -104.17 at BetOnline | Apeks -126.58 at BetOnline |

These teams last met during ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe in May, when Apeks won 2-1. However, Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski and his crew are 4-3 across their last seven series, with defeats against BIG, FURIA Esports, and Aurora Gaming. They’ve also dropped maps against SINNERS Esports and Sprout.
1win have looked phenomenal over the last month, losing just one of their last 20 series. But they recently lost Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhaylov, who jumped over to Cloud9, leaving the team without their best player and in-game leader.
Apeks are not the most consistent team, but without Boombl4, 1win are significantly weaker.
Apeks to win
FORZE ESPORTS vs MOVISTAR RIDERS CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | FORZE -101.01 at BetOnline | Movistar -131.58 at BetOnline |

FORZE Esports placed third in Group A with a 3-2 record, whereas Movistar Riders placed fourth in Group D at 2-3. Neither team showed much during the first stage of ESL Challenger League Season 46, and they’ve not looked amazing in the games leading up to this one.
With a mixed bag of results over the last week, it’s hard to rank FORZE Esports and Movistar Riders properly, and it doesn’t help that both teams have made roster changes. Still, with the departure of in-game leader Alejandro “ALEX” Masanet, Movistar have lost a lot more than FORZE, who have added Erkhan “gokushima” Bagynanov and Vladislav “Krad” Kravchenko as replacements for Aleksey “El1an” Gusev and Dmitry “sstiNiX” Khlebnikov.
Movistar Riders looked very shaky even with ALEX at the helm, and his departure alone is enough to suggest that the Spanish squad will struggle to get back on their feet.
