Прогноз на матч: Cloud9 - Bad News Eagles | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Cloud9 and Bad News Eagles will meet in the RES Eastern European Masters: Spring 2023 semi-final, serving as qualifiers for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe. One thing we can say so far: sh1ro is a genius.

In their turn, the Kosovar side had a mixed performance in the group stage, suffering one defeat at the hands of VOYVODA. But you can't really blame the Bad News Eagles, because everyone knows the other side.

Nevertheless, here I see an easy victory for the Cloud9s, who have taken a great shape at ESL Pro League Season 17 and apparently are not stopping.

Cloud9 form

The tenth team of the world ranking failed in IEM Katowice 2023 where they suffered two defeats and didn't even manage to fight for the play-offs of the tournament.

However, the Russian team has worked hard to win all three group stage matches of ESL Pro League Season 17, including G2 Esports and Outsiders.

As for their start at the RES Eastern European Masters: Spring 2023, Cloud9 managed to deal with DomiNation and Aurora Gaming, picking the Mirage card twice.

Cloud9's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Evil Geniuses.
• A 2-0 win over G2 Esports.
• 2-1 win over the Outsiders.
• Beat DomiNation 16-4.
• A 16-10 win over Aurora Gaming.

Top cards from Cloud9:

• Vertigo - 100% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.

Let's not forget that the Russian team hasn't played the Nuke card for a long time.

The 21st ranked team in the world managed to take second place at the CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1 and also got off to a relatively good start in the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023.

The Kosovar side also reached the CCT South Europe Series 2 finals, where they lost to Aurora Gaming virtually without a chance.

As for their performance in the group stage of RES Eastern European Masters: Spring 2023, Bad News Eagles managed to beat iNation and Eternal Fire, but also found defeat against VOYVODA.

Forecast of the match Cloud9 - Bad News Eagles

Despite the Bad News Eagles' significant growth in the new season, the team still falls short of the TIER-1. What's more, the Kosovo-based squad has yet to feature big wins, that is, over stronger opponents.

On the other hand, Cloud9, after their defeat in Katowice, have climbed out of the pit. And if they continue at the same pace, they can easily close the championship in their favour.

But I have no intrigue in this case. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Cloud9 to win 2-0.
