Matchförutsägelse: Apeks - paiN Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Paris Major 2023 Challengers StageApeks and paiN Gaming will play in the fourth round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage to win a trip to the Legends and an extra day's rest.
Hand on heart, the Brazilian squad deserved to move on. Purely on the game, paiN Gaming seems to me a mature team that has made great strides in three months, having played a bunch of matches in Europe.
Yes, Apeks aren't made of stone, but I can't help feeling that we're talking about a second-tier team. So here I would use a subjective evaluation and settle for a win for paiN Gaming.

The world's 24th ranked team took a shot at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, as with victories over GamerLegion, Sprout and B8 Esports they managed to snatch a trip to the majors.

Prediction for the match Apeks - paiN Gaming
The disadvantage of paiN Gaming is definitely the Nuke ban from the opponent. However, even without that the Brazilian team has an excellent performance, with a sample mixed with Europe.
As for Apeks, the game with G2 Esports showed that it is too early to count on the team. Yes, the Europeans can do something, and don't suffer from shooting in places. But still something is missing, as if you're talking about a team stuck on CCT.
So in this case I would recommend betting on the paiN Gaming team to win.
