Прогноз на матч CS2 Movistar Riders - ECSTATIC

Movistar Riders and ECSTATIC will meet in the first semi-final of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, where they will play for a ticket to the grand final of the championship.

Interestingly, the Spanish side was originally not supposed to be in Australia, but they arrived and won their group with two extremely mediocre victories.

There's not much to say about ECSTATIC, apart from a hard-fought victory over Complexity Gaming, the Danes didn't put up much of a show. So here I would rely on the victory of the Movistar Riders team.

Movistar Riders uniforms

The 25th ranked team in the world managed to attend ESL Pro League Season 17 and even made it to the play-offs, but lost to G2 Esports very quickly and without a chance.

Next, Movistar Riders returned to their "favourite" online, where they even failed at the Long Song ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe, as well as achieving nothing in all the qualifiers.

However, in the group stage of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, the Spanish squad managed two wins over Rare Atom and Bad News Eagles to earn a place in the play-offs.

Movistar Riders' latest results:

• A 17-19 defeat to Source2.
• A 2-0 win over Iron Branch.
• 1-2 defeat to EYEBALLERS.
• Beat Rare Atom 19-16.
• Beat Bad News Eagles 16-11.

Movistar Riders top scorers:

• Anubis - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Ancient - 50% wins.

It is worth recalling that the Spanish team have most often given up Overpass and Vertigo cards.

ECSTATIC form

The 55th ranked team in the world has also shown nothing online, where it suffered defeat after defeat and dropped out of all the championships it played in.

Moreover, the Danish squad lost to Complexity Gaming at the Long Song ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 despite trying to make a comeback on the Nuke card.

On the other hand, ECSTATIC was able to outplay EG Black further and also take revenge on Complexity Gaming. However, with such a game, it will be difficult for the team to stay in the play-offs.

ECSTATIC's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over 500.
• A 0-2 loss to Monte.
• A 14-16 loss to Complexity Gaming.
• Victory over EG Black 2-1.
• Defeated Complexity Gaming 2-1.

Top ECSTATIC scores:

• Anubis - 71% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Ancient - 62% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.

In turn, the Danish team has long given up on maps Mirage.

Forecast of the match Movistar Riders - ECSTATIC

Perhaps the Spaniards are very lucky, because with such an opponent no problems will help them to lose. I can't say that ECSTATIC is that bad a team, after all they closed Complexity Gaming, but clearly they are not up to something big.

In general, the Danish team will be difficult, and you should not expect more than one maps from them. So in this case I would recommend to bet on Movistar Riders to win.
