paiN Gaming and BIG will meet in the group stage of Brazy Party 2023. In this case, the loser will go home, while the winner will still fight for a place in the play-offs.
Interestingly, the Brazilian team lost despite their status as favourites. BIG, on the other hand, had no show at all against 00NATION, once again proving their impotence.
All in all, a tough championship that, once again, lacks any logic and the competitors play according to their moods. Still, here the Brazilians have to beat the wounded Germans. So here I would lean on paiN Gaming to win.
Form of paiN Gaming
The seventeenth team in the world rankings went to the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas final, where they rather unexpectedly Ledgege was defeated by Imperial Esports.
However, immediately afterwards, the Brazilian team performed well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, where they qualified for the majors, losing only to FURIA.
Back home, paiN Gaming made it to the play-offs of ESL Challenger League Season 45 North America, but fared too poorly at Brazy Party 2023, dropping a game-winning Into the Breach.

BIG form
The world's eleventh ranked team failed in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, before losing to Cloud9 in the Last Chance Qualifier and being left without a major.
After a couple of days off, the German squad arrived at IEM Rio 2023, where they registered wins over MOUZ and Heroic, lost to Natus Vincere, qualified for the play-offs, but lost to Vitality in the ¼ finals.
As for Long Soppeg in the group stage of Brazy Party 2023, here BIG managed to lose to 00NATION, which is a great shame. And you can't talk about substitution as prosus certainly didn't do any worse when it comes to shooting.

- Victory over Heroic with a score of 2-1.
- 0-2 defeat for Natus Vincere.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Vitality.

Prediction for the match paiN Gaming - BIG
Some ridiculous game in this championship. zevy misses in the simplest situations, players get lost in positions, they can't shoot over the knowingly weak opponents.
BIG doesn't play at all and gives the initiative to 00NATION, which lost to everyone at the RMR tournament two weeks before. However, another disadvantage of the German team is the poor selection.
It is clear that BIG plays on six or seven cards, but it is very weak everywhere. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the paiN Gaming team to win.
