Match Prediction: Movistar Riders - 9z | Counter-Strike (CS2)
ESL Challenger February 2022Movistar Riders and 9z will compete for the right to reach the playoffs of ESL Challenger February 2022. Personally, it was a surprise for me that the Latin Americans were in the second game day, as they created a sensation, albeit not without the help of Dignitas veterans. And yet, the Spanish team in this series looks more interesting if we start from the same game with the Swedes.
Movistar Riders Uniform
The 23rd team in the world ranking failed at the end of last season, after which they went to rest. As a result, the team made a good debut at ESL Challenger February 2022, literally tearing Dignitas apart. However, after a couple of hours, Movistar Riders returned to their original position, having suffered an unfortunate defeat from VP. And yet it must be said that the Spaniards played on one of their worst maps.

Form 9z
The 46th team in the world ranking showed a good start in the ESL Challenger February 2022, causing problems for Virtus.pro. At the same time, the Latin American team managed to stay in the championship, having outplayed Dignitas. However, 9z did not show anything special, playing straightforward CS without too much spice. Therefore, I do not believe that the team can be in the playoffs.
