paiN Gaming and Nouns will meet as part of the CCT North America Series 3 Grand Finals, where the winner of the championship will be determined. It seems that the North Americans have too little chance, given their recent failures in big matches.
In turn, paiN Gaming has all the cards in hand to recover from the failure in Katowice and win a meaningless online tournament again.
In general, here it is logical to look at the victory of the Brazilian team, which is head and shoulders above its opponent.

The 27th team in the world ranking completely failed at the recent IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, where they suffered two humiliating defeats and went home.
Further, the Brazilians made changes in the composition, which, objectively speaking, do not actually mean anything in terms of results.
So, at the start of CCT North America Series 3, the team got a series of confident victories. And there is complete confidence that paiN Gaming will not stop there and take another victory.

PaiN Gaming — Nouns Match Statistics
At the end of last season, the teams held two meetings:
- PaiN Gaming wins CCT North America Series 2 with a score of 2:0.
- PaiN Gaming won ESEA Autumn 2022 Cash Cup 7 North America with a score of 2:0.
Interestingly, both matches were played on the Nuke and Inferno maps.
Prediction for match paiN Gaming — Nouns
I don't think that the North Americans will be able to cling to the result in this grand final. Firstly, Nouns is slowly but deflating, and noticeably sinking in principled matches. Secondly, apart from Inferno, the guys have nothing to offer, and this is mercilessly small. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on paiN Gaming to win with a score of 2:0.
