Total Maps – Total Maps Under 2.5
In the last four out of five matches, the teams have played on two cards.
FURIA was able to place 7-8 at IEM Cologne 2022. That’s not a bad result, but the team usually qualifies for higher places. The guys lost a very frustrating match to Team Liquid. 14-16, 17-19. On each card, the Brazilians lacked quite a bit. As for the upcoming match, FURIA is likely to beat Mirage. Yes, the team has not the best win rate on this card, but at the last tournament, they preferred this card. There is also an option with Vertigo. This card can’t be ruled out as well. In recent matches, the Turks looked weak, but the Brazilians’ Vertigo is at a high enough level.
With either one of these cards, the guys should have a good advantage and win confidently. Nuke can stay for the third decisive card, but it’s not certain that the encounter will reach that stage. The Brazilians look like the clear favorites to win.
Eternal Fire is in good shape right now. The team has won five games in a row and managed to secure its only ticket to ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2022. However, it should be noted that there were no serious opponents in this qualification. The most serious opponent was Entropiq, which is currently rebuilding its squad and showing poor results. The Turks haven’t faced serious opponents for a long time, playing mostly against tier-2 teams. After all, ESL Pro League Season 16 is a top tournament, and successes in qualifiers or regional tournaments do not add faith to the team.
As for maps, Eternal Fire won’t be able to play its strongest map, as FURIA will definitely get rid of Dust2. There is Nuke and Inferno. From these cards, the Turkish team will have to choose their peak. On both cards, he will be pushing back on the weaknesses of his opponent. Eternal Fire has a chance to win on these maps, but the lack of practice against strong opponents should have an impact. After all, Eternal Fire will not have any advantage in shooting, as it happens in almost any match with tier-2 teams.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Furia: KSCERATO, arT, drop, saffee, yuurih.
Eternal Fire: MAJ3R, XANTARES, imoRR, paz, woxic.
Yuurih from Furia and XANTARES from Eternal Fire is our highlighted players in the match.
