Team K23 Переможе
K23 and Isurus will compete for the right to get into the quarterfinals of the Pinnacle Cup IV. Despite all the past successes of the Latin American team, it will be much harder with K23. Yes, and we must understand that in its optimal state, Isurus is unlikely to be able to impose a fight even on an individual basis. From which I hardly believe in a sensation.
Form K23
The 33rd team in the world rankings reached the Pinnacle Cup IV playoffs without any problems, losing only to Team Spirit (as we understand, in the current situation, this does not seem shameful). Then the Russian team went to the open qualifiers for ESL Challenger Valencia 2022, where they didn't experience any problems. It seems to me that K23 is in good shape, so the team is unlikely to miss the chance to reach the quarterfinals.

Let me remind you that the team traditionally refuses the Vertigo card.
Isurus form
The 52nd team in the world ranking failed at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Americas RMR, after which they decided to stay in Europe. Here, the Latin American team unexpectedly made it to the playoffs of Pinnacle Cup IV, showing good CS for a debutant. However. The break is unlikely to have benefited Isurus, since the day before the team was eliminated from the same qualification for ESL Challenger Valencia 2022.

Forecast for the match K23 — Isurus
It would be logical to slap at 2:0 in favor of the Russian team. But there is a fear that Isurus will give the match of life in the playoffs, because they do not want to leave Europe now. Yes, and there may be problems with K23's motivation, since the team often gives away maps without spoiling them with good statistics. However, a favorite is a favorite, which is hard to argue with. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the K23 team.

Match prediction
The hot, interesting matches of the major have finally passed. Now it's time for the bottom line HLTV teams. The Russian team perfectly feels the opponents on their maps. They gave the match to their brothers "Team Spirit", and they themselves remained to get win-streaks at the tier-2 level. What can hardly be said about the Brazilian team, which takes on thin rivals. In principle, one could take a chance and recommend a score of 2:0, but the Brazilians are not so omitted and have several good maps in their map-pull. Victory K23.

My prediction: K23 win Game
I share my opinion, but the decision to play for money is up to you. This is solely your responsibility. In every game, an outsider can win, so there is always a risk of losing.
Do not bet more than 5% of the pot unless you are ready to lose large sums of money.
