2:0 (Gambit Esports)
Gambit and FURIA will meet within the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 14. If the Russian team takes the first place in the standings, the Brazilians are still hanging out in the rear. However, this does not in any way affect the balance of power, which speaks in favor of Gambit.
Gambit Form
The second team in the world rankings failed at IEM Cologne 2021, losing already in the quarterfinals of the tournament. Now the team is once again led by F_1N, who has served his disqualification for the infamous exploit. So Gambit started at ESL Pro League Season 14, winning in the first two rounds. And I must say that at some points the team is still asleep.
Recent Gambit results:

- Mirage - 77% wins.
- Dust 2 - 75% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
- Ancient - 57% wins.
- Inferno - 54% wins.
Needless to say about the Nuke card, which the guys haven't played for two years. However, here we will not see Dust 2, which the Brazilians do not play.
FURIA Form
The 15th world ranked team came to ESL Pro League Season 14 with a coach who was forced to become a player. An interesting metamorphosis in the sense that the team actually tried to announce a newcomer. But ESL decided that the Brazilians will play in the tournament in a cranky state, gaining points only on occasion. However, so far everything is going so that FURIA has only one victory, and even that one over the compatriots from Team One.
Recent results FURIA:
- Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Renegades with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
- Lost to Entropiq with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Team One with a score of 2: 0.
Best FURIA cards:
- Mirage - 71% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Inferno - 57% wins.
Let me remind you that we shouldn't wait too much for Dust 2 from the Brazilians. At the same time, the team hardly ever plays on Vertigo.
Gambit - FURIA meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Gambit's victory in ESL Pro League Season 13 with a score of 2: 1.
- Gambit's victory in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021 with a score of 2: 1.
But five months have passed since the last meeting.
Forecast for the match Gambit - FURIA
I don't see any other scenario except 2: 0 for Gambit. It is simply difficult to believe otherwise, given the defeat of the Brazilians from Entropiq with the same score. And the coach is clearly not impressive with his performance, showing only one successful card out of four. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Gambit team with a score of 2: 0.
2:0 (Gambit Esports)
Gambit confidently take the first place in Group D, having 2 wins, which gives them a good chance of reaching the quarterfinals immediately, one serious rival Liquid was defeated, and only Nip remained. Unfortunately, at the moment, Fury is experiencing a gaming crisis and is not able to fight the tops.
Gambit
Gambit presented an exciting game against Liquid, in which they had to recoup on two maps and from 0-1 in the series. In total, the team played 2 matches in the group and won 2 victories: Team One with a score of 2-0 (Mirage 16-14, Ancient 16-6) and Liquid 2-1 (Inferno 12-16, Vertigo 19-16, Mirage 16-12). In the online format, the team continues to prove their superiority, they steadily execute their defaults and play reliably in bundles. Gambit is ready to play any card against the Brazilians and there shouldn't be any big inconveniences.
Furia
The Brazilians have a 1-1 score with a 0-2 defeat to Entropiq (Overpass 14-16, Ancient 13-16) and a Team One victory (Mirage 16-14, Inferno 22-19). As for a team that plays with a coach, a pretty good result, but besides the first map, guerri clearly plays worse than the main player and sags noticeably against the background of the rest. Furies play the classic Mirage and Inferno, where you don't need to invent something new, they send Dust 2 to the ban.
Outcome
The Brazilian team, together with the coach, should not cause problems for Gambit, which are beginning to regain their former shape, they do not have any uncomfortable picks, so I expect a quick victory for the CIS team.
