On May 6th, we're in for another CS day: two tournaments — ESL Challenger League Season 49: Europe and YaLLa Compass Spring 2025 — promise viewers intense matchups. We've selected five of the most intriguing predictions, based on team form, map pool, and current analytics.

B8 vs. Zero Tenacity over 2.5 maps (1.92)

B8 will be arriving from Mongolia on the day of the match, so they might not be in top form due to the long flight. They are clear favorites here, so you can expect them to secure at least one map, even considering their less-than-ideal condition. Zero Tenacity could take advantage of this and comfortably claim a map, especially since they have done so in past matches.

FAVBET vs. Spirit Academy over 2.5 maps (2.00)

FAVBET is in great form, while Spirit Academy is simultaneously playing in another LAN tournament, which might affect their performance. They are favorites here, but FAVBET is also strong and could very well take a map, and the odds for this outcome are appealing.

Nemiga to win against Rush B (1.50)

In this match, Nemiga is the clear favorite, showing impressive results. Their recent qualification for a major and the news of obtaining visas could boost the team's morale, so they shouldn't face any issues in this match.

NAVI Junior to win against PARIVISION (2.05)

NAVI Junior is in excellent form, proving themselves as a solid tier-2 team, having recently won a tier-1 tournament, becoming the first academy to achieve such a feat. It's unclear why the odds for their victory are this way, but it's an opportunity to seize, especially since NAVI Junior has already defeated PARIVISION twice before.

Zero Tenacity to win against RUBY (1.82)

As mentioned earlier, Zero Tenacity is in good form, but RUBY is competing with a new sniper, which could cause issues in BO3 matches. They might win a map, but I believe Zero Tenacity can comfortably win the current match, especially since the odds are quite attractive.

Remember to gamble responsibly: bets should be made based on reasoning, not emotions. And remember: the winner isn't the one who knows all the odds, but the one who can interpret them correctly.
