EXPERTISE

Experienced former semi-professional Counter-Strike player and freelance esports writer specialising in competitive first-person shooters. She has in-depth knowledge of the mechanics of high-level CS play, the dynamics of Tier 1, 2, and 3 play, and has a history of training people in the game.

Josie Clark's Recommendation

"Getting better at games like Counter-Strike and VALORANT is more than just improving your aim. Game sense, map knowledge, good movement, and strong fundamentals will be the difference between low ELO silver ranks and actually making progress. Watch what your favourite players do in tournaments, analyse your own mistakes from competitive games, and try to holistically work on your encompassing role within the team to improve, not just your K/D ratio."

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
