Forutsigelse av kamp: Apeks - Sangal | CS2 (CS:GO)

Apeks and Sangal will meet in the first round of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023 play-offs. There's probably nothing to say about the favourites and the balance of power, as everything is clear after the major.

You can note the good results from Sangal, who even managed to beat someone there, but on the discourse the team leaves much to be desired, and the opponents are not so The International ereznye.

All in all, the main The International riposte is how many cards Sangal will pick up. It's understandable that on fatigue the favourite might flounder, but still. So here I would bank on a resounding victory for the Apeks team.

Apeks form

The ninth team in the world rankings was a revelation at the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they not only reached the play-offs, but also made it to the quarterfinals by defeating Team Liquid.

At the same time, the European side played with confidence at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023, where they easily earned three wins and made it to the play-offs.

Moreover, Apeks managed to win the ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe, beating such contenders as 9INE, 1WIN, Monte and Spirit Academy in the process.

Apeks latest results:

• A 2-1 win over 1WIN.
• Defeat to Spirit Academy 1-2.
• 2-1 win over the ex-Copenhagen Flames.
• Victory over Monte, 2-1.

At the same time, the Apeks team continues to give up Nuke.

Sangal form

The 59th ranked team in the world completely failed in ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe where they only posted two wins over Into the Win and Let us cook.

As for the main stage of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023, the European side almost dropped out as they suffered two defeats.

Sangal also managed to play in the CCT West Europe Series 4, where they even managed two victories over clearly weak opponents, and then not to play the Danes at all.

• 2-1 win over GTZ.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of 500.
• 2-1 win over Zero Tenacity.

Interestingly, the Sangal team also does not appear on the Nuke map.

Outlook for the match Apeks - Sangal

In general, everything will be decided at the stage of card selection. As it usually happens, the team that doesn't take away Nuke will get the advantage. That said, I admit that Apeks will pull out at any rate.

First of all, the team had a week off and clearly had time to rethink their position. Secondly, Sangal is about nothing at all, to put it simply.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a 2-0 win for the Apeks.
