Forutsigelse av kamp: Movistar Riders - FURIA | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Movistar Riders and FURIA will meet in the semi-finals of the lower bracket of the ESL Pro League Season 17 group stage. Tell me, how did the Spanish team manage to get here? What happened the day before that these guys were able to get at least some kind of victory?

In general, Movistar Riders surprised yesterday by getting a victory over Complexity Gaming. On the other hand, it is worth blaming the North American team, which is beginning to resemble its usual pattern, that is, neither fish nor meat.

As for FURIA, the team again has big problems, which, apparently, have been dragging on since Katowice. Nevertheless, here the Brazilian team looks like a big favorite, since it is simply impossible to come up with a second victory for Movistar Riders, and even in a row.

Therefore, here I would look closely at the victory of FURIA, which in this match will have everything to play the first number, to realize its aggressive style. Well, the Spaniards should wish good luck, but usually the stick shoots once a year, well, or in a tournament.

Movistar Riders Uniform

The 30th team in the world rankings had a terrible start to the new season, as they were eliminated from all open qualifiers, without even making it to the closed qualifiers for the RMR tournament.

Recently, Movistar Riders even managed to play in the CCT Central Europe Series Finals 1, where they very unexpectedly made it to the playoffs. But everything quickly improved there as well, as the Spanish team was defeated by Bad News Eagles and ENCE, taking fourth place.

As for the start in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, here the team preferred to hang out a white flag and lay down their paws in front of Heroic. However, on the eve of Movistar Riders sensationally turned on by shutting down Complexity Gaming.

FORM FURIA

The fourteenth team in the world ranking failed at the recent IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In. And it all started with a confident victory over Permitta Esports, but the Brazilians decided to end up losing to BIG and IHC Esports.

However, at the start of the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, the team got an important but very controversial victory over Imperial Esports. And yet in some places FURIA looked good, creating a sense of the work done.

However, the day before, the team lost without a chance to MOUZ, showing two bad halves: first in attack on Mirage, and then in defense on Ancient. However, FURIA has not lost any chances yet, especially in the game with the Spaniards.

Prediction for the match Movistar Riders — FURIA

In an adequate state, it is simply impossible to quote the Spanish team. It is clear that Movistar Riders is starting to try, but objectively the team is far from the TIER-1 level.

Despite the problems, the Brazilians should be back in the game, as such free trips to the playoffs are not given anywhere else. Yes, and the team has experience of defeating the Spaniards, and already in this lineup.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the FURIA team with Handicap by rounds (-5.5).
