Forudsigelse på match CS2 forZe - 9z

FORZE and 9z will meet in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 to play-offs. In turn, the loser will still get one last chance, but there to play with paiN Gaming or ECSTATIC.

I assume that the Russian team was watching the opponent's match, so as not to accidentally spike Nuke against the Latin Americans. On the other hand, FORZE are in a good shape now, and the results correspond to that.

On the other hand, there is certain prejudice about 9z so far, because the team has been failing more often in their diatribe. Therefore, here I would rely on FORZE to win.

FORZE uniforms

The 20th ranked team in the world failed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage before reaching the semi-finals of the BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023, Ledge and Aurora.

On the other hand, the Russian team won CCT 2023 Online Finals 1 with only one defeat at the hands of ECSTATIC but, at the same time, played well in other matches.

As for Long Songpeg in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, FORZE again outplayed ECSTATIC with an exemplary defensive performance and in general played well as a team.

FORZE's latest results:

• 0-2 defeat to ECSTATIC.
• 0-2 defeat to Aurora.
• A 2-0 win over 9INE.
• Beat ECSTATIC 2-0.
• 16-12 victory over ECSTATIC.

FORZE's best scores:

• Ancient - 89% wins.
• Mirage - 62% wins.
• Nuke - 55% wins.
• Anubis - 53% wins.
• Overpass - 53% wins.

It is worth remembering that the Russian team has consistently banned Vertigo.

Form 9z

The 29th ranked team in the world recently visited the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, where they even marked a victory over fnatic, but still did not jump over the head, Ledgeiv Heroic and OG.

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

Here's the team having a bit of a sensation at the Long Conger of the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, as 9z outplayed paiN Gaming, despite being considered the outsider of the match in fact.

9z's latest results:

• A 0-2 loss to OG.
• A 16-6 win over Complexity Gaming.
• 2-0 win over Nouns.
• Beat ATK 2-0.
• Beat paiN Gaming 16-7.

Top 9z:

• Nuke - 87% wins.
• Ancient - 82% wins.
• Inferno - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 71% wins.

Interestingly, the Latin American team also does not play on the Vertigo map.

FORZE - 9z encounter statistics

Last season the teams played one meeting - FORZE won 2-0 at the Roobet Cup 2022.

FORZE vs 9z

No matter how strong 9z is in the championship, for me personally the Latin Americans remain somewhere far away. At least 9z doesn't stand out at all in terms of its lineup, and the stats are obviously stuffed on TIER-2 creeps.

In turn, in recent times FORZE gained momentum, and at some point the team managed to return after a series of failures. Now the team looks good in terms of interaction, and in fact, with the Latin Americans guys should be easier.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on a victory for the FORZE team.
