Прогноз на матч: Gentle Mates - Case Esports | VALORANT

Gentle Mates and Case Esports will meet in the second round of the VALORANT Challengers Ascension 2023: EMEA group stage. It's worth mentioning that the French will play Team Falcons the day before, while the Spaniards will face Apeks.

To be fair, Gentle Mates do not look as formidable as the rest of the group, apart from the Saudi team. Moreover, the French team's region was not the strongest, so we will just have to watch.

On the other hand, I personally like the Spanish team, which will have to pick up after the first round, which, to be fair, doesn't stand much chance. So here I would lean on the Case Esports team to win.

Gentle Mates form.

The tenth European ranked team played well in the VALORANT Challengers 2023 France: Revolution Split 1, making it the winner of the championship.

What's more, the French squad also won the VALORANT Challengers 2023 France: Revolution Split 2, once again demolishing the chances of their regional rivals.

However, it's still too early to say whether Gentle Mates is a true contender, as the team has typically played BO1 and BO5 and has not managed to build up a strong map pool over the season.

The latest results from Gentle Mates:

• A 13-5 win over Solary.
• Victory over WYLDE by a score of 14-12.
• 4-13 defeat of Mandatory.
• 3-1 win over WYLDE.
• 3-2 win over Mandatory.

Gentle Mates' best scores:

• Haven - 100% wins.
• Split - 86% wins.
• Fracture - 80% wins.
• Ascent - 69% wins.

It is worth noting that the French team usually does not appear on the Pearl map.

Case Esports Form

The eleventh team in the European rankings is already at Long Cognega winning VALORANT Challengers 2023 Spain: Rising Split 1 with a good game.

The Spanish squad also picked up silver medals in Surfshark Valorant Challenge #2, before losing twice to the Turks from Fire Flux Esports in the course of the championship.

Case Esports wasn't too disappointed though, as the team went on to win VALORANT Challengers 2023 Spain: Rising Split 2 and qualify for this year's Ascension.

Case Esports' latest results:

• A 13-9 win over ZETA Gaming.
• A 13-2 win over Movistar Riders.

• 3-1 win over ZETA Gaming.

In turn, the Spanish team has not been shown on the Pearl map for a long time.

If we talk about the odds, there is a rough parity, although the bookmakers are slightly more inclined to rank Case Esports as the favorite.

In principle, we can agree, taking into account what they said about Gentle Mates and the relative obscurity of the French team at this level.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Case Esports to win.
