Matchförutsägelse: Cloud9 - Eternal Fire | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Cloud9 and Eternal Fire will meet in the third round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B. Perhaps the place in the "legends" for both teams is virtually lost, but the ticket to the majors is still glimpsed.

I don't think that after their defeat by Monte, the Russian team will continue their free fall. Moreover, the guys were a bit lucky with their opponent, who plays Vertigo and is not afraid to leave a card.

As for Eternal Fire, the Turks managed to surprise with a victory over Astralis, but it's hard to count on more. Therefore, I would lean on Cloud9 to win here.

Cloud9's form

The fifth team in the world ranking took the silver medal in ESL Pro League Season 17, and a week later won the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe.

At the same time, the Russian team was able to qualify for IEM Dallas 2023 and also won BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, beating FORZE in the final.

As for Long Sogpeg on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, here Cloud9 again handled FORZE, but managed to Ledgeit Monte in the second round, trivially underestimating their opponent.

Cloud9's latest results:

• A 1-2 defeat to Astralis.
• A 2-0 win over OG.
• 2-0 win over FORZE.
• 16-5 victory over FORZE.
• 9-16 defeat by Monte.

Cloud9's best scores:

• Vertigo - 92% wins.
• Mirage - 79% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Ancient - 60% wins.

Let's not forget that the Russian team continues to reject Nuke maps.

Eternal Fire uniforms

The 21st ranked team in the world won the CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1 back in February, but then failed to show anything in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, beating only Evil Geniuses and MIBR.

After that, the Turkish team took part in RES Eastern European Masters Spring 2023, where they failed completely and didn't even play-offs.

As for Long Sogpeg in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, Eternal Fire did not oppose Ninjas in Pyjamas anything, but then managed to shut out Astralis by coming back into the game.

Eternal Fire's latest results:

• A 13-16 defeat to VOYVODA.
• Victory over iNation with a score of 16:10.
• Defeat to Bad News Eagles by a score of 12-16.
• Ninjas in Pyjamas, 11-16.
• 16-7 win over Astralis.

Eternal Fire's best scores:

• Inferno - 70% wins.
• Anubis - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.
• Nuke - 58% wins.
• Overpass - 55% wins.

In turn, the Turkish team has not featured on the Ancient map for a long time.

Cloud9 - Eternal Fire encounter statistics

Last season, the teams held one meeting - Cloud9 (2-0) won at ESL Pro League Season 16.

Forecast for the match Cloud9 - Eternal Fire

I very much doubt that the Turkish team can play like this on a regular basis. Also, in a game with an injured beast, Eternal Fire could be shut down quickly.

As for the Cloudies, the guys need to improve their position. Fortunately, the net turned out to be good and you can get back into the game quickly.

So in this case I'd recommend betting on Cloud9 to win.
