Being a degen is a core principle of our SGPN family. Well, what’s more degen than sweating out how many 180s will be thrown in a darts match? Or how many kills a player will get in Call of Duty? Allow us to introduce our Degens Only Play of the Day, a pick so obscure, it will have you friends questioning your sanity.
Every day, we scour the books and DFS sites for that one special play off the beaten path. Today, we turn our attention to the world of Counter-Strike in Esports and the Champion of Champions Tour. Here we find an underdog that should not be overlooked.
Esports Counter-Strike Betting Pick: Degens Only Play of the Day
GameHunters Over Selva (+135 via ESPN BET)
Sunday, August 10th, 6:00 p.m. ET
Selva has had a rough go of it this year. They’ve struggled immensely over the last three months where they have only managed to win 28.6% of their matches. More specifically, the Brazilian squad has won four of their last eleven matches going back to late June. They enter this match on the heels of a victory. However, that win came against a Bad Luck team that has only won two of their six matches this year.
On the other hand, GameHunters have been considerably more successful this season having won 42.1% of their matches over the last three months. They have won four of their last seven matches in the South America Series. These Brazilians went 3-1 in group play during Series 1. Unfortunately, they were unable to get past RED Canids in the round of 16 in the playoff bracket.

These teams met last in June during the Thunderpick World Championship. The GameHunters came away with the 2-0 win in that match.
Good luck on this and all of your plays today. We’ll be back with another Degens Only Play of the Day tomorrow. While you’re here, check out some of my other contributions to the SGPN.
