Прогноз на матч: 9z - 00 Nation | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Brazil Rio 2023 South America Closed Qualifier9z and 00NATION will meet in the lower bracket final of the closed qualifier for IEM Brazil 2023 for Latin America. Both teams have already managed to get burned about Fluxo, and this time the winner will play the favorite again, but this time in the match for the slot.
As for this confrontation, I'm leaning in favor of the Brazilian team, which, although with problems in terms of play, is still more structural than 9z. In turn, the Latin Americans fail the beginning of the season, and in this composition they look much worse.
Therefore, here I would look at the simple victory of the Brazilians, who are more interesting than 9z in any way.
Form 9z
The 61st team in the world started the new season unsuccessfully, having failed in the CCT North Europe Series 3 and ESEA Cash Cup: Europe - Winter 2023 #3. And there, the Latin American team looked very faded against the background of TIER-2 rivals from Europe, which are comparable to what the guys have now.
As for the start in the closed qualifiers for IEM Brazil 2023 for Latin America, here 9z barely outplayed O PLANO, but after that they absolutely deservedly lost to Fluxo. In general, the team continues to look for itself, and at this stage it is far from optimal conditions.
Latest 9z results:
- Lost to ODDIK with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by 9INE with a score of 0:2.
- Defeat from +Overpass with a score of 6:16.
- Victory over O PLANO with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by Fluxo with a score of 0:2.
Best 9z cards:
- Ancient - 67% of wins.
At the same time, the Latin American team continues to refuse the Vertigo card.
Form 00NATION
The 48th world ranked team got off to a good start to the new season, taking second place at the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference South America after losing to Imperial Esports.
If we talk about the start of the closed qualifier for IEM Brazil 2023 for Latin America, here 00NATION even managed to compete with Fluxo, but at the same time got an ordinary victory over O PLANO.
In general, if we compare the two teams with each other, then in aggregate the Brazilians showed themselves slightly better, having identical results.
Latest 00NATION results:
- Victory over Flamengo Esports with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by Imperial Esports with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Flamengo Esports with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by Fluxo with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over O PLANO with a score of 2:0.
Best 00NATION cards:
- Mirage - 100% wins.
- Overpass - 86% of wins.
- Ancient - 50% win rate.
- Inferno - 50% win rate.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
In turn, the Brazilian team refuses the Anubis card.
Meeting statistics 9z – 00NATION
As part of the last season, the teams had one meeting - at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR, the victory went to 9z (19:16).
Prediction for the match 9z — 00NATION
Something 9z does not turn on, failing match after match. Even in the victorious game over O PLANO, the Latin American team had problems, so everything is very poor.
In turn, 00NATION was able to force a fight on Fluxo, and the team came very close to winning on the third map, but made a defensive comeback on Ancient. However, the Brazilians are still in perfect order.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the 00NATION team.
