Прогноз на матч CS2 forZe - ex-ETHEREAL

forZe and ex-ETHEREAL will try to determine the strongest in the midnite Nine to Five 7 quarterfinals. It's difficult to talk about forZe's form, given the recent results. However, I have a different opinion about ex-ETHEREAL, which has been making a good impression over the past weeks.

ForZe form

The 34th world ranked team decided to temporarily return to the five-player model, as the newcomers did not grow together. As a result, the team went to DreamHack Open December 2020, where they sensationally beat Espada (2: 1) and Virtus.pro (2: 1) in the group stage. However, contrary to all expectations, the team again played in an unstable manner, losing to sAw (0: 2) in the semifinals of the tournament.

Best forZe cards:

• Inferno - 63% wins.
• Train - 60% wins.
• Mirage - 57% wins.

At the same time, we do not forget that the team has huge problems with Dust 2 and Overpass. Also, forZe does not play on Vertigo, where the opponent can surprise.

Ex-ETHEREAL Form

The 60th World Ranking Team never ceases to amaze. The team went through the group stage of MIDNITE Nine to Five 7 with almost no mistakes, losing only to K23 (0: 2) at the start of the event. However, then ex-ETHEREAL won over Saints (2: 1), ALTERNATE aTTaX (2: 0) and Espada (2: 0), which earned it a place in the playoffs. But the team did not stop there, beating x6tence in the first round with a score of 2: 0. At the same time, the team confidently started in the Vulkan Fight Series 2020, beating 9INE.

Best ex-ETHEREAL cards:

• Mirage - 80% wins.
• Train - 71% wins.

But most importantly, ex-ETHEREAL has a stable pool of cards, which, according to statistical indicators, is even better than its counterpart.

Personal meetings statistics

It is impossible to ignore the fact that all previous meetings ex-ETHEREAL played with modified rosters. Nevertheless, two head-to-head fights that took place within the current season ended with forZe's victories.

Forecast for the match forZe - ex-ETHEREAL

I will say right away that the winner of the meeting will be decided at the stage of choosing cards. ex-ETHEREAL should never be banned from Vertigo, leaving this burden at the mercy of forZe. And in this case, the "outsider" will have a real chance to beat his more high-status compatriots. As for forZe, the form of the team is very annoying to me, in contrast to which I put a good move ex-ETHEREAL. Therefore, I propose to take a chance and bet on the victory of the ex-ETHEREAL team with a coefficient of 2.75.
