Apeks and HONORIS will meet in the second round of CCT South Europe Series #2. Both teams won victories at the start of the competition, but I personally doubt the Poles at a distance.
In turn, Apeks is slowly rolling into the new season, but in essence the team is clearly stronger and more interesting than HONORIS. And the Poles were not impressive last season, so the new captain is unlikely to help the guys cheer up.
Therefore, there is no intrigue here and, following the logic, two cards should go to the Apeks piggy bank.
Form Apeks
The 37th world ranked team delivered a fiery ending to last season as they won the ESEA Advanced Season 43 Europe with a powerful comeback in the grand final.
Then the European team reached the semi-finals of CCT Central Europe Series 4, and during the tournament the guys demonstrated excellent Counter-Strike, but failed to cope with Astralis.
As for the start of the CCT South Europe Series #2, here Apeks outplayed BLINK without any problems. It is clear that one could play a little more confidently, but it will do for the start.
Apeks latest results:
- Victory over Monte with a score of 3:2.

- Mirage - 75% of wins.
- Nuke - 75% win rate.
- Vertigo - 67% of wins.
- Ancient - 67% of wins.
- Inferno - 50% win rate.
It is worth noting that the European team is not shown on the Anubis map.
Form HONORIS
The 66th team of the world ranking failed the end of the last season, and completely - the Poles took off absolutely everywhere and did not even leave a hint of a struggle.
As a result, the team changed the captain, inviting an experienced man from PACT. But in fact, nothing has changed in the HONORIS game, because in a week the team managed to fail in the qualifiers for the OMEN WGR Challenge 2023 and Elisa Invitational Winter 2023.
However, at the start of CCT South Europe Series #2, the Polish team unexpectedly defeated TENSTAR, although you can't say good words about the opponent.
Latest HONORIS results:
- Victory over ESCA Gaming with a score of 16:11.
- Victory over Dripmen with a score of 16:14.
- Lost to INVSN with a score of 0:2.
- Defeat from Turów with a score of 11:16.
- Victory over TENSTAR with a score of 2:0.
Best HONORIS cards:
- Inferno - 75% of wins.
- Nuke - 64% of wins.
- Ancient - 58% of wins.
In turn, the Polish team will refuse the Mirage card.
Apeks vs HONORIS Match Statistics
Within the framework of the last season, the teams had one meeting - at CCT Central Europe Series 2, the victory went to HONORIS (2:0).
Prediction for Apeks — HONORIS
You should not look at the September match, because enough time has passed, and even there the Poles took two cards in overtime. Now Apeks is much stronger than before, and HONORIS has definitely not improved in their game. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Apeks team with a score of 2:0.
