Forudsigelse på match CS2 Bad News Eagles - VERTEX

Bad News Eagles and VERTEX will play in the Long Cognego Round of the group stage of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023. I don't think there's much to talk about, as the Australian squad is very weak even by the standards of the rest of Asia and manages to lose to the streaming team.

What's more, we have Bad News Eagles, who in their current form can compete with the stalwarts of the TIER-1 scene. And personally, I think the Kosovars are a contender for the title.

So here I would lean on the Bad News Eagles team to win, which right now has a great chance to close VERTEX with a big advantage.

Bad News Eagles form

The 23rd ranked team in the world managed to fail at the RES Eastern European Masters Spring 2023 and ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe, which, frankly, was more of a no-brainer.

Further on, the Kosovar team also failed in the play-offs BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, where they Ledgeil FORZE already in the first round without a chance and went to prepare for the RMR tournament.

However, in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, Bad News Eagles did very well, as the team not only won a place in the "legends", but also managed to close FaZe Clan.

The latest Bad News Eagles results:

• A 9-16 defeat to 1WIN.
• 16-9 win over Viperio.
• 19-16 win over Apeks.

• Beat GamerLegion 2-1.

It should not be forgotten that the Kosovo team has not played on the Nuke map for a long time.

VERTEX form

The 79th ranked team in the world miraculously qualified for ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, although they played semi-amateur opponents in the qualifiers.

The Australian side went on to fail to qualify for IEM Dallas 2023 and also crashed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Asia RMR where they suffered two toothless defeats.

After that, VERTEX went on to take part in ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 16 where they didn't fall out, but will never make it to the finals.

VERTEX's latest results:

• A 6-16 defeat to Rare Atom.
• A 1-2 loss to Twisted Minds.
• A 0-2 loss to Grayhound Gaming.
• 2-0 win over Encore.

• Overpass - 88% wins.

In turn, the Australian squad does not play on Ancient.

Forecast of the match Bad News Eagles - VERTEX

I don't think we should expect a sensation here, as VERTEX are the obvious contenders for two defeats and a trip home (ridiculous). In any case, the Kosovar side have everything on their hands, and it's unlikely there will be any upset. So in this case, I'd recommend betting on the Bad News Eagles to win with a handicap (-5.5).
