Прогноз на матч: FURIA - Monte | Counter-Strike (CS2)

FURIA and Monte will meet in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. This is another The International heresy match where all ten players will just be flying around the server looking for kills.

It seems to me that FURIA will emerge as the clear favourite, as the Brazilians have clearly watched their opponent's play and tried to build on it. In addition, there is also a small principle, as Monte beat paiN Gaming here.

Also I would note some difficulties of the Ukrainian team in BO1, which managed to lose FaZe Clan and FORZE. In general, here the Brazilians seem to be preferable. Therefore, here I would rely on the victory of FURIA.

FURIA uniform

The world number eight team failed in the ESL Pro League Season 17 play-offs before quickly falling to EG Black in the quarter-finals of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas.

However, the Brazilian squad quickly made amends in the home BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, where they shut out TeamOne, Evil Geniuses, Team Liquid and paiN Gaming, earning a trip to the Legends.

FURIA went on to IEM Rio 2023, where even Long Converged with two handsome wins over fnatic and FaZe Clan, but Ledgeil Cloud9 and Heroic went on to be limited to the quarterfinals.

Latest FURIA results:

• A 2-1 win over paiN Gaming.
• Victory over fnatic with a score of 19-15.
• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2-0.
• 1-2 defeat of Cloud9.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of Heroic.

FURIA's best scores:

• Vertigo - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 71% wins.
• Mirage - 63% wins.
• Nuke - 60% wins.
• Ancient - 50% wins.

It is worth noting that the Brazilian squad continues to refuse to play Overpass.

Monte form

The 22nd ranked team in the world recently took silver in CCT Central Europe Series 6, but also won CCT West Europe Series 3 and made the close qualification for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.

However, the Ukrainian squad ran into a bit of trouble on the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage as they fell to FaZe Clan and FORZE, defeating only Fluxo.

Fortunately further Monte managed to beat TheMongolz and paiN Gaming. Although, the same game against the Brazilians was very close, and in places the team looked faded in comparison to their actual conditioning.

Monte's latest results:

• Defeat to FaZe Clan by a score of 14-16.
• 16-8 win over Fluxo.
• 6-16 defeat of FORZE.
• 2-0 win over TheMongolz.
• A 2-1 win over paiN Gaming.

Top scorers Monte:

• Anubis - 81% wins.
• Mirage - 74% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.
• Overpass - 60% wins.
• Nuke - 59% wins.

In turn, the Ukrainian team continues to deny Inferno.

Forecast on the match FURIA - Monte

I don't know, it seems to be an even match, but the Brazilians look a little stronger on paper. And the recent results from FURIA show that the team is trying to change, and in terms of the game, everything seems a little clearer.

In turn, Monte play from their mood, and here the team can both lose their peak and shut out their opponents 16-1. And we shouldn't forget that in the Legends, the stakes are higher.

Therefore, in this case, I'd recommend betting on FURIA to win.
