Two powerful underdogs of the European scene lock horns in Bad News Eagles vs Movistar Riders
One of the greatest joys of any sport is to watch two potent, up-and-coming teams go at each other, and this matchup between Bad News Eagles and Movistar Riders in the Lower Bracket of CCT Online Finals #1 promises to be a cracker. Whether you’re into CSGO betting or just a fan of either of these teams, here’s our in-depth preview to tell you everything you need to know.
Bad News Eagles
After a heart-wrenching end to what could have been their breakthrough Major appearance, BNE have had a week or so to recover from the emotional damage. They lost to rising Russians FORZE Esports 2-1 in the Upper Bracket — taking Anubis 16-14 before losing Mirage 16-6 and Inferno 16-9 — and now have just one path forward at this tournament.

Movistar Riders
Unlike their next opponents, the Spanish side couldn’t even reach the Closed Qualifiers of the European RMR for the BLAST.tv Paris Major, but they did secure the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2023 title, winning the Grand Final against BNE themselves. They lost to Danish team ECSTATIC at the start of this tournament, but have since smashed South American side Corinthians to get to this point.
