The Europe Minor StarLadder Major 2019 starts July 17th and runs until the 21st
Will mousesports be able to make it out this time?
Are there any surprise candidates to come out in first place?
The StarLadder Berlin Major 2019 is quickly approaching, which means the Minor Qualifiers are going to be getting underway shortly. We already took a look at the best bets to come out on top in the Americas Minor, so now it’s time to take a look who will come out on the other side of the most difficult of them all, the Europe Minor.
Every Major it seems like the field in the EU Minor gets more and more stacked, and this time around may be the most competitive Minor of all-time. It will be bloodbath in Berlin to see who comes out on the other side earning their spot at the Major, and mousesports are currently leading the odds to do so.

They bombed out of the last Major Qualifier in spectacular fashion when probably most of the Counterstrike world had them slated to place somewhere in the top-8 at the actual Major. Since the failure to make IEM Katowice, mousesports have undergone a massive overhaul that will see them fielding only two players from that roster that fell short last time around.
CR4ZY managed to claw their way through the last European Minor when nobody really expected them to do so. Their main claim to fame is the fact that huNter is the cousin of one of the greatest players to ever grace CSGO, NiKO. He just so happens to be extremely talented as well and he also has a very solid roster around him. Despite going by a different name now, they could very well be seeing action at their second Major soon

Fnatic have had some rough results recently but they are still a team that consists of legendary players so its kind of hard to rule them out ever. They managed to place second twice on the year at premier tournaments, so if they are able to channel that same level of play they stand a real chance of winning the Europe Minor. Though they have been wildly inconsistent for some time now, so it’s hard to put any real faith in the Swedes.
The other two teams listed have not had the best results as of late, but both are littered with enough talent that they could catch fire at the Europe Minor and end up coming out with the W. I would say they are all longshot picks, but they may be worth looking at considering their value.
Pick: mousesports (+275)
