Esports betting sites have ENCE priced as 1.44 favourites to defeat Bad News Eagles, who are 2.62 underdogs to walk away from the game as victors. The offered betting odds seem to be based mostly on ENCE’s strong showing in the Legends Stage, which is to be considered, but 1.44 still seems a bit too pricey.
- ENCE defeated BNE the last time the two CS:GO teams met
- Bad News Eagles have not played a single official match since April 30
- The last time ENCE and BNE met at the Major, ENCE won 16-7

ENCE Form
ENCE enter BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Legends Stage in excellent form. Even though they haven’t shown much in the games leading to the Major, ENCE stepped up in the first tournament stage, which they finished with a perfect 3-0 record.
In the Challengers Stage, ENCE defeated OG (16-6), Ninjas in Pyjamas (16-9), and even FaZe Clan (2-1), which is very impressive. But we also have to consider that OG, NiP, and FaZe Clan didn’t perform well, so perhaps we should take ENCE’s success with a grain of salt.
ENCE Squad & Team News
ENCE have not announced any lineup changes.
- Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer
- Paweł "dycha" Dycha
- Pavle "maden" Bošković
- Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia
- Guy "NertZ" Iluz
Bad News Eagles Form
Bad News Eagles haven’t won a single tournament in 2023, but they came close a few times, with four silver medals from CCT South Europe Series #2, CCT Central Europe Malta Finals, CCT South Europe Series #3, and ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2023. So, even though BNE haven’t won anything, they have looked good this season.
Most importantly, Bad News Eagles finished BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A in fourth place, with wins against Viperio (16-9), Apeks (19-16), FaZe (2-0), and GamerLegion (2-0). So results-wise, Bad News Eagles look to be in a good spot.
My only concern is that the Kosovar squad haven’t played a match in two weeks, but it might not matter too much.

Verdict
Talent-wise, ENCE and Bad News Eagles look fairly evenly matched. They’ve beaten strong teams this season and seem ready to make a splash at the Major. I don’t expect either to win the whole thing or make a deep run, but at the very least, they should be competitive.
Comparing the two, I would consider ENCE as favourites, mainly because they’re warmed up from the Challengers Stage; however, I don’t expect them to stomp Bad News Eagles, who are a very resilient team.
I don’t have a good reason to bet on ENCE at the offered odds, and I wouldn’t side with Bad News Eagles at 2.62, either. However, I expect a very close affair, which can easily go over 28 rounds. A bet on over 26.5 rounds isn’t a bad choice, but we’re getting more value at 28.5.
