Matchförutsägelse: sAw - Imperial Esports | Counter-Strike (CS2)
ESL Pro League Season 17SAW and Imperial Esports will play in the first round of the lower bracket of the ESL Pro League Season 17 group stage. Nothing will change for the team that loses here, since there is a Last Chance bracket.
To be honest, here the Brazilian team has excellent chances of winning, since SAW had a very terrible start in the championship, failing to impose any fight on MOUZ.
In turn, Imperial Esports could not compete with FURIA, losing both maps. And yet, if we compare the performances of both teams, the Brazilians seemed a little more interesting and able to do at least something.
Therefore, here I would look closely at the victory of the Brazilian team, which is definitely not inferior to SAW in terms of experience, but is noticeably superior in terms of shooting. Yes, and the Portuguese fell into a hole, from which they may not get out during the group stage.
SAW form
The 24th team in the world rankings had an ambiguous start to the new season, but still managed to win the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference Europe qualifier.
Then SAW went to the semi-finals of CCT South Europe Series 2 and OMEN WGR Challenge 2023, and also qualified for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR with great difficulty.
Nevertheless, at the start of the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, the Portuguese team played as if they copied the Movistar Riders model. As a result, the team lost to MOUZ without any struggle, making them doubt their prospects.

Imperial Esports Uniform
The 37th team in the world ranking failed to qualify for IEM Rio 2023. Well, at least in the closed qualifiers for the RMR tournament, Imperial Esports did not disappoint, having obtained three confident victories.
Of the latter, the Brazilian team became the winner of the TG Masters Spring 2023, where they secured their participation in the upcoming BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas with four victories.
As for the start of the ESL Pro League Season 17 group stage, here Imperial Esports could not impose a fight on FURIA. However, if we compare the two games with each other, the Brazilians played much brighter than SAW.

SAW vs Imperial Esports Match Statistics
As part of the last season, the teams held one meeting - at OMEN WGR European Challenge 2022, the victory went to SAW (16:10).
Prediction for the match SAW vs Imperial Esports
Looking back at yesterday's game of the Portuguese, I would not trust SAW, at least until the team gets to the meeting with Movistar Riders. In turn, Imperial Esports looked good in some places in the derby, but still failed to finish FURIA.
In general, the Portuguese team left a very weak impression of itself, which makes it hard to turn around. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Imperial Esports team.
