Form 9INE

Let's open the match with the analysis of 9INE's form. Poles in this match play the first number 1.7.

9INE had a very fruitful first half of the year, which allowed the Polish club to climb into the top 20 of the best teams in the world. However, the lion's share of the events played were TIR-2 events.

9INE managed to get a number of victories at events like OMEN WGR Challenge 2023, GAM3RS_X Polish Clash and other local tournaments. However, the main achievements came in the spring of this year.

In April, 9INE triumphed at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: Europe RMR B, which opened the way to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. The Major itself ended for the Poles in the top 16.

Before the IEM Cologne 2023 Long Circuit, 9INE picked up another important win. They qualified for the big-budget Gamers8 by beating SAW in last chance qualification.

• 9INE roster: Goofy, KEi, Kylar, mynio, hades.

9INE is one of the most stable Play-In IEM Cologne teams. The club has been playing in such a roster for half a year already.

The first Play-In IEM Cologne 2023 opponent for 9INE was OG. The Poles won with a score of 19-17.

Then there was a loss from Fnatic (0-2), and then a minimal sensation in the form of a victory over Liquid in the match for the exit to the group stage. Then 9INE dealt with the North American club with a score of 2-1.

In the first match of the play-offs, 9INE were up against ENCE, but came up a little short. The Finns turned the game around on the decisive Mirage and sent 9INE to the bottom of the group stage.

The team finished their performance at IEM Cologne 2023 with a match against Cloud9. The Poles failed to defeat the more prestigious opponent, and lost with a score of 1-2 and left the championship.

Before the Long Cologne ESL Pro League Season 18, the team visited Thunderpick World Championship 2023 and Gamers8. Both tournaments ended for 9INE at the top 16.

At EPL Season 18, the team played their first match against Complexity. The Americans put up a solid fight and pulled out a win, which was a mini sensation considering the Poles' play in recent months.

In the previous match 9INE played against Eternal Fire. The Turks were a few goals stronger than the Poles and closed the series 2-0 without any problems.

ESL Pro League Season 18 9INE finished ignominiously. They were eliminated by Lynn Vision at the TOP-32 stage, which is a very difficult result to call.

Next up was the European BLAST Showdown, where 9INE finished in the top 8. They also played at the same CCT North Europe Series #8, where they managed to get to the TOP-4, but were knocked out by Spirit.

There was also Roobet Cup 2023, where the Poles also had bad luck. 9INE were defeated in the group stage, finishing in TOP-9-12.

In the play-offs of ESL Challenger League Season 46, 9INE made it to the play-offs thanks to their strong performance in the first stage of the group stage and then in the so-called High Group. In the last basket they lost their only match against Looking4Org, which led them to the first round of the upper grid. There, 9INE played against the Czechs from SINNERS Esports.

Mappool 9INE

9INE's best map is Vertigo. There the Poles won 14 matches with only 4 losses.

Next are Mirage (66% wins in 6 games), Anubis (58% wins in 12 maps) and Nuke (57% winrate in 7 matches).

The worst maps for 9INE are Ancient with 36% win rate in 7 matches and Inferno, where Poles have not won a single match in 3 maps.

Form EYEBALLERS

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of EYEBALLERS game form. The jW team will play as the number two, but with a minimal gap: the odds for a win are at around 1.9.

The 53rd team of the HLTV world ranking is a typical representative of the TIR-2 scene. In 2023, they have played a lot of tournaments, but unfortunately for the Swedes, to no avail.

Overall, the classic result for the Swedes this season was Top 8. The team held this ranking at Pelaajat.com Nordic Masters Spring 2023, ESL Challenger League Season 44: Europe, CCT Central Europe Series #6, CCT West Europe Series #3, ESL Challenger League Season 45: EUrope, CCT West and CCT North Europe Serie #4 and #5.

A small A Cross happened at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023. Then jW and company managed to climb into the top 4, which is clearly not a typical result for EYEBALLERS this year. Then it was dark again, but much worse: TOP-17/19/32 at the IEM Sydney 2023 qualifiers, TOP-24 at the SSE North Europe Series and TOP-12 at CCT North Europe Series #7.

• Eyeballers lineup: JW, Sapce, SHiNE, Peppzor, Heap .

Prior to the ESL Challenger League Season 46, JW and company played Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2 and European Pro League Season 10, as well as Esportal Evnia Open. In the former, they finished in the usual top 25, but the European Pro League was much more successful - already top 10! The only ray of light was the championship at the Esportal Evnia Open and $6,000 in prize money.

ESL Challenger League Season 46 is not going badly so far. Getting into the Mid Group is something, considering the bunch of results EYEBALLERS has on their hands.

They finished top 3 in Group C, where they missed out on Team Spirit and Looking4Org. They played 3-2, beating SAW, RUBIK and Pompa Team, whoever they were.

Once in the Mid Group EYEBALLERS began their climb to the final of the top set. Along the way they beat Aurora and Betera. Both games ended in a complete bo3.

In the final Mid Group match, EYEBALLERS were once again successful. They outplayed ForZe, again with a score of 2-1. After falling to Monte in the first round of play-offs, EYEBALLERS were lucky: the Swedes got a technical and thus ended up in the second round match of the lower grid.

Eyeballers Mapple

The best map Eyeballers- Vertigo. There are 2 wins in 3 matches.

Next is Inferno. On Inferno played 5 times, of which won 3 matches.

Minus winrate on 4 maps: Ancient (42% wins in 7 matches), Overpass (33% wins in 3 matches), Anubis (3 matches, 33% wins), Mirage (2 matches, 0 wins).

History of head-to-head meetings 9INE - EYEBALLERS

EYEBALLERS and 9INE played each other at the Elisa Winter Invitational 2023 earlier this year. The Swedes were victorious at that time.

Predicted result of 9INE vs EYEBALLERS at ESL Challenger League Season 46

In this match I expect an even game, as indicated by the pre-match odds. One or the other can win and show the game, which promises a close Counter-Strike match. From here we expect a full-fledged bo3.

Bottom line: total +2.5.
