Published by PickFinder. Last checked November 2026.
PickFinder Team
PickFinder is our pick, and we make it, so weigh that. We've covered esports for years, with hit rates against the line on every map across all five big games: CS2, Valorant, League of Legends, Dota 2 and Call of Duty. Its Discord has over 50,000 members, an average of three slips posted a day, 24/7 support and a community free of spam. RotoWire Picks has a blended projection for CS2, Valorant and Dota 2, and SpikeIntel is a community built around written picks.
Most mainstream prop apps skip esports: Outlier doesn't have it, and Counter-Strike is the only esport on Props.Cash.

How to choose
Check your game is covered
Coverage is the biggest gap in this niche. PickFinder has all five games. RotoWire Picks doesn't have League of Legends or Call of Duty, SpikeIntel doesn't have Call of Duty, and Counter-Strike is the only esport on Props.Cash.
Decide if you want numbers or picks
PickFinder has both: data to make your own call, and an average of three slips a day in its Discord. SpikeIntel is written picks, and RotoWire Picks is data.
Look for map-level numbers
CS2 props usually settle on kills across maps 1 and 2, and a sweep usually means fewer kills than a three-map series. A season average hides that.
Compare the line before you play
The same player can have a different line on each app. Check at least two before you build an entry.
