Match forudsigelse: Team K23 - Illuminar | CS2 (CS:GO)

K23 and Illuminar will meet in the first semi-final of the European Development Championship Season 6. The Poles have accelerated something, given their difficulties with the roster over the past weeks.

In turn, K23 continues to test newcomers, but in terms of the game, the team looks very decent in places. In addition, the team is slightly more attractive than Illuminar, which, in my opinion, is enough for a verdict.

Therefore, here I do not believe in the victory of the Poles, who in some places were simply lucky with their rivals.

Form K23

The 47th team of the world ranking had an unsuccessful start in the ESL Challenger League Season 43 Europe, where they lost to the French from HEET already in the first round.

Then the team reached the semi-finals of CCT Central Europe Series 3, where they lost in an equal fight to the future champion - Copenhagen Flames.

As for the European Development Championship Season 6, here K23 confidently outplayed ECLOT and forZe. Therefore, it makes sense to believe that the team will risk to reach the grand final.

Latest K23 results:

• Victory over ECLOT with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over IKLA with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over UNGENTIUM with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to Copenhagen Flames with a score of 0:2.

At the same time, the team already traditionally refuses the Vertigo card.

Form Illuminar

The 51st team of the world ranking failed at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B, after which they began to re-assemble their line-up, however, like all other representatives of this scene.

However, within the framework of the European Development Championship 6, everything is going well for the Polish team, since it has not only left the group, but has not yet lost.

And yet, it's hard to judge by Illuminar, because the team didn't even have smart rivals.

• Victory over fnatic Rising with a score of 16:12.
• Victory over Tricked with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Endpoint with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over 9INE with a score of 2:0.
• 2:0 victory over Apeks Rebels.

• Vertigo - 60% of wins.
• Nuke - 57% win rate
• Mirage - 54% of wins.
• Overpass - 50% of wins.

In turn, the Polish team does not play on the Inferno map.

Prediction for K23 vs Illuminar match

An interesting duel where each team will ban the opponent's best card. And yet, in my opinion, Illuminar has a little less fire potential, which will certainly affect the results. In turn, K23 even in this form looks interesting. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the K23 team.
