Forutsigelse på match CS2 paiN Gaming - 9z

paiN Gaming and 9z will meet in the Long Long Round of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. In general, both teams do not look their best, even by the standards of North America, where they play.

However, in this case 9z appears as a clear underdog, because they have not achieved anything this season and at TIER-2 they have rarely been impressive.

In turn, the Brazilian team has much more playing experience, and in some places showed a good game. Therefore, I would place my bets on a win for paiN Gaming here.

Form of paiN Gaming

The 23rd ranked team in the world failed in the last rounds of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, suffering close defeats to both Apeks and Monte.

The Brazilian team went on to return to their region, where they failed to qualify for Gamers8 2023, before making amends with a victory at ESEA Cash Cup Circuit Season 1 Cup 7 North America.

Still, paiN Gaming is more likely to be remembered with a minus sign, as it failed to show anything in the play-offs of ESL Challenger League Season 45 North America, finishing in only fourth place.

Latest results from paiN Gaming:

• A 0-2 loss to MIBR.
• A 2-0 win over Wildcard.
• 1-2 defeat of ATK.
• 16-6 win over FLUFFY AIMERS.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of ATK.

Top scores for paiN Gaming:

• Nuke - 80% wins.
• Vertigo - 73% wins.
• Anubis - 68% wins.
• Mirage - 65% wins.

At the same time, the Brazilian team continues to reject Overpass maps.

Form 9z

The world No. 29 team qualified for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 on their own, but fell at the CCT South America Series 7 online tournament immediately afterwards.

Moreover, 9z recently made it to the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, where it even marked a victory over fnatic. Still, the team did not jump over the top, losing to Heroic and OG.

However, fans of the Latin American squad can sleep easy as they brightened up the picture with a victory at ESEA Cash Cup Circuit Season 1 Cup 8 North America, where they even defeated Complexity Gaming.

Latest 9z results:

• A 2-1 win over fnatic.
• A 0-2 loss to OG.
• A 16-6 win over Complexity Gaming.
• Beat Nouns 2-0.
• Beat ATK 2-0.

Top 9z:

• Nuke - 86% wins.
• Ancient - 82% wins.
• Inferno - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 71% wins.

In turn, the Latin American team still does not play on the Vertigo map.

Meeting statistics paiN Gaming - 9z

Within the last season the teams have played two meetings:

• 9z's 2-0 win at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Americas RMR.
• A 2-1 victory for paiN Gaming at CCT South America Series 1.

Since then, however, the teams have had time to make changes to their line-ups.

Prediction for the match paiN Gaming - 9z

Considering how much the Brazilians have played in Europe and how often they have shown results, I personally do not believe in 9z. Understandably, the Latin American team has beaten someone there recently, but this is a completely different case.

Moreover, paiN Gaming as a whole looks The International erser, both in terms of shooting and structure. Well, the Latinos play more on a case-by-case basis: go or no go.

So in this case I would recommend betting on paiN Gaming to win.
