Förutsägelse om match CS2 Cloud9 - Monte

Cloud9 and Monte will play in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B. Surprisingly, we continue to see cases where the favourites can do nothing against TIER-2 opponents.

And so it turned out that Monte ended up in the top basket, although even in the game with ENCE almost gave away the comeback due to a lack of sensible ideas in the attack. Still, the Ukrainian team can be praised for their efforts, which have to be assessed on the spot.

So here I would opt for a logical victory for Cloud9, who, given their current form, should easily be able to take the game and move on.

Cloud9's form

The world number five team recently finished second at ESL Pro League Season 17, before becoming the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe champion.

At the same time, the Russian side easily qualified for IEM Dallas 2023 and also won the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 with an exemplary performance in the play-offs.

As for Long Sogpeg at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, Cloud9 saw no resistance from FORZE, crushing their opponent at Inferno. All in all, the Cloud9s are well on their way so far.

• A 1-2 loss to Astralis.
• 2-0 win over OG.

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

Form Monte

The 32nd ranked team in the world just recently won CCT West Europe Series 2 and ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe, before going down in the qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2023.

Nevertheless, the Ukrainian team went on to win CCT Central Europe Series 5 once again, returning to the winning track.

And at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B team managed to surprise as well as sensationally defeated ENCE in the first round of Monte. We won't draw any conclusions, though, as the attack was troubling.

• A 0-2 defeat to Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Forecast of the match Cloud9 - Monte

Here's a couple that deserve a lot of attention from the outside. To be honest, I'm not ready to believe in Monte yet, as the team has never played in this format.

What's more, everyone has seen for themselves the form that Cloud9 are in. And without that the boys are already regarded as favourites in their set-up. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Cloud9 to win.
