Forutsigelse på match CS2 ECSTATIC - Evil Geniuses Black

ECSTATIC and EG Black will meet at the bottom of the group stage of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 to fight for the right to not be eliminated from the championship.

I can't say that either of these pair deserves to be in the play-offs, but in this case there are definitely no favourites and no outsiders. And the Danish team even managed to put up a fight against Complexity Gaming, while EG Black simply lost to the Australians.

So I would have to settle for three cards here as it is impossible to pick the strongest one in such a furnace. Both ECSTATIC and EG Black are two peas in a pod.

ECSTATIC's form

The 55th ranked team in the world most recently failed in CCT North Europe Series 4, Pelaajat Nordic Masters Spring 2023 and ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe Relegation, playing very mediocre everywhere.

Moreover, the Danish squad had a poor showing in the play-offs of CCT Central Europe Series 5, from which they were knocked out in the ¼ final.

However, ECSTATIC did well in the group stage of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, even managing to take 14 rounds from Complexity Gaming. But so far, the team is not impressive, so it's premature to count on them.

ECSTATIC's latest results:

• A 1-2 loss to Partizan.
• 2-0 win over BIG Academy.
• 2-0 win over 500.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of Monte.
• 14-16 defeat at the hands of Complexity Gaming.

ECSTATIC top scorers:

• Anubis - 69% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 57% wins.
• Ancient - 57% wins.

It should be noted that the Danish team has long refused to use Mirage maps.

EG Black uniforms

The 48th ranked team in the world played well in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas, where they even got a victory over FURIA, but still lost to Imperial Esports.

After a short break, the North American squad managed to qualify for the ESL Challenger League Season 45 North America, where they still fell short against paiN Gaming.

If we're talking about the group stage of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, here EG Black came up with nothing against Grayhound Gaming, taking just 10 rounds on Inferno.

EG Black's latest results:

• A 2-1 win over ATK.
• 2-1 win over FURIA.
• 0-2 defeat of Imperial Esports.
• 0-2 defeat to paiN Gaming.
• 10-16 defeat to Grayhound Gaming.

Top scorers EG Black:

• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 69% wins.
• Nuke - 57% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

In turn, the North American team usually gives up Ancient and Anubis maps.

ECSTATIC vs EG Black preview

At the very least, each team can count on their own peak here. Outside of the cards in general, it is difficult to isolate the advantages of ECSTATIC and EG Black, as they have not been doing well lately. And we can't even talk about Long Corner in the tournament, since BO3 is coming up. Therefore, in this case I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
