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

FORZE and Monte will meet in the third round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage. So far, both teams are in the middle basket, although a match like this deserves BO3.

Still, the Russian team will have a minimum chance here, as the same RMR tournament showed FORZE's shortcomings against Monte's wild but working model of play.

All in all, the Ukrainian team has every chance in their hands to make it to the 2-1 basket and prepare for promotion to the 'legends'. So I'd lean on the Monte team to win here.

FORZE form

The sixteenth ranked team in the world played well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where although they managed to suffer two defeats, but still deservedly made it to the majors.

Next, the Russian team returned online, where they ran into trouble at ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe and CCT West Europe Series 3, suffering a number of setbacks.

As for Long Songpeg at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, here FORZE managed to give the game away to Grayhound Gaming, fortunately Team Liquid got the better of them next and snatched a hard-fought victory.

Let's not forget that the Russian team are steadily giving up Vertigo.

Monte form

The 22nd team of the world ranking could still be remembered during the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where it lost only to Heroic and Vitality, almost getting into the "legends".

Next, the Ukrainian team took second place in the CCT Central Europe Series 6, and also won the CCT West Europe Series 3, along the way getting into the closed qualification for the ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.

Statistics of FORZE - Monte meetings

In the current season, the teams held two meetings:

• A 2-0 win for Monte in the ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe.
• Monte in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B 2-0.

Interestingly, both matches were played on Overpass and Anubis.

FORZE vs Monte

I don't think FORZE will be able to outdo themselves and surprise their opponent, who plays too aggressively and actually takes a breath. And right now, the Russian team didn't exactly show the most convincing Long Corner, bouncing back in a sense in the game against Team Liquid. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Monte team win.
