Прогноз на матч: 00 Nation - 9z | Counter-Strike (CS2)

00NATION and 9z will meet in the grand final of ESL Pro League Season 18: South American Qualifier to play for a regional ticket to the championship in Malta.

I personally favour the Brazilian squad, who look much more interesting in this qualifier. In turn, 9z had a hard time beating BESTIA the day before, showing not the most confident game.

And still 00NATION has not revealed itself enough to believe in the team. And the statistics speak in favour of the Latin American team. Therefore, here I would rely on three maps.

00NATION uniforms.

The 35th team of the world ranking failed on European soil, showing a disappointing performance both at Brazy Party 2023 and BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023.

Afterwards, the Brazilian squad failed in the ESL Brazil Premier League Season 14 play-offs, but also won the Pinnacle Cup Brasil 1.

As for the ESL Pro League Season 18: South American Qualifier, 00NATION has already outplayed Filhos de D10S, Solid and Fluxo with an impressive performance.

00NATION's latest results:

• Victory over Boca Juniors with a score of 2-0.
• A 2-1 win over BESTIA.
• Victory over Filhos de D10S with a score of 16:10.
• Victory over Solid with a score of 16:11.
• Victory over Fluxo with a score of 2:0.

Best maps 00NATION:

• Ancient - 78% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.

It should be noted that the Brazilian team usually does not appear on the Mirage map.

Form 9z

The 23rd team of the world ranking managed to win ESEA Cash Cup Circuit Season 1 Cup 8 North America, but at the same time failed in the play-offs of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, quickly dropping out after losing to Virtus.pro.

Recently, the Latin American team lost again to Virtus.pro, but already in FiReLEAGUE Battle 2023.

On the other hand, 9z is still moving steadily through the ESL Pro League Season 18: South American Qualifier, where they defeated Age Sports, Meta and BESTIA.

9z's latest results:

• A 0-2 loss to Virtus.pro.
• 0:2 loss to Virtus.pro.
• A 16:9 win over Age Sports.
• 16:11 win over Meta.
• Victory over BESTIA with the score 2:1.

Best 9z:

• Nuke - 85% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 62% wins.
• Ancient - 58% wins.

In turn, the Latin American team is not shown on the map Vertigo.

Statistics of meetings 00NATION - 9z

Within the current season, the teams have played four meetings:

• 9z victory in the closed qualification for IEM Rio 2023 with a score of 2:1.
• 00NATION won the closed qualification for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR with the score 2:0.
• Victory of 9z in the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023 with the score 2:1.
• Victory of 9z in the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023 with the score 2:0.

It should be noted that the teams picked Ancient card most often (three times).

Prediction for the match 00NATION - 9z

I have my doubts about 9z, but judging by the stats, the team has quite easy games against Brazilians.

On the other hand, after the signing of NEKIZ, the Brazilian team has improved their shooting, which was also proved by the last win over the renewed Fluxo squad.

Still, summarising all the facts, the Latin Americans can cause 00NATION problems. Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on Total on map 2.5 more.
