Match forudsigelse: 9z - ECSTATIC | CS2 (CS:GO)

9z and ECSTATIC will meet in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. In this case, the winner will advance to the play-offs, while the loser team will go home.

To be honest, ECSTATIC looks much more interesting than their rivals at The International. Moreover, the Danish team the day before showed a good game, even in spite of the defeat of FORZE.

As for 9z, I personally find it difficult to distinguish the Latin American team. At least in the game with FORZE the guys did not work out. So here I would rely on the victory of the ECSTATIC team.

Form 9z

The 29th ranked team of the world has managed to be in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, where they even beat fnatic, but also got defeated by Heroic and OG and logically dropped out of the championship.

Next up, the Latin American squad decided to have fun to become the winner of the ESEA Cash Cup Circuit Season 1 Cup 8 North America, in the process outplaying Complexity Gaming.

As for Long Sogpeg at ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, here 9z produced a win over paiN Gaming, but fell short against FORZE a couple of hours later, as if to show a definite difference in class.

9z's latest results:

• A 16-6 win over Complexity Gaming.
• A 2-0 win over Nouns.
• A 2-0 win over ATK.
• 16-7 win over paiN Gaming.
• 11-16 defeat by FORZE.

Top 9z:

• Nuke - 87% wins.
• Ancient - 82% wins.
• Inferno - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 62% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Latin American team refuses Vertigo maps.

Form ECSTATIC

The 30th ranked team of the world has had time to prove themselves at ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 where they got through to the semi-finals, though they were defeated there by Movistar Riders.

ECSTATIC reached the grand final of CCT 2023 Online Finals 1 where Ledge was defeated by FORZE, but failed to reach the play-offs of ESEA Advanced Season 45 Europe.

As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, here the Danish team failed to cope with FORZE, but a little later they got a confident victory over paiN Gaming.

Recent ECSTATIC results:

• A 2-0 win over L&G.
• 0-2 defeat of FORZE.
• 1-2 defeat of PROSPECTS.
• 12-16 defeat at the hands of FORZE.
• 2-0 win over paiN Gaming.

ECSTATIC's best scores:

• Ancient - 78% wins.
• Nuke - 73% wins.
• Anubis - 64% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.
• Overpass - 55% wins.

In turn, the Danish team has not featured on the Mirage map for a long time.

The teams have not met before.

Prediction for the match 9z - ECSTATIC

It seems to me that the Danish team is fully capable of repeating the scenario of the match against the Brazilians. And I think that 9z is not stronger than paiN Gaming because the game is the same.

As for 9z, after the defeat by FORZE, expectations were somehow diminished because the Latin American team showed a dead attack. With that kind of setup, the team has nothing to do in the play-offs, and there won't be a chance there either.

So in this case I would recommend to bet on ECSTATIC to win.
