Bad News Eagles and ex-Copenhagen Flames will meet in the first round of the CCT 2023 Online Finals 1 top draw. It is difficult to say what form both teams are in, as problems abound.
On the other hand, the Danish team is finally bogged down in online, and they've also lost organization. I don't think this roster has any prospects, and the game is so bad.
In general, Kosovars are favourites, so they must justify it. All the more, even in the majors the team showed a good game. So here I'd lean on the Bad News Eagles team to win.
Bad News Eagles form
The 21st ranked team of the world ranking performed well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where they took the fourth place and even made their way to the "legends".
But further, the Kosovar team showed nothing at ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, where they ledge twice against Movistar Riders of Spain and took only the second line.
In the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, Bad News Eagles didn't do too well as they took on ENCE, Apeks and FaZe Clan and went home with one victory over G2 Esports.
Recent Bad News Eagles results:
- A 0-2 defeat to Movistar Riders.
- Defeat to ENCE by a score of 9-16.
- A 16-13 win over G2 Esports.
- 6-16 defeat at the hands of Apeks.
- Defeat by FaZe Clan, 1-2.
Bad News Eagles top scorers:
- Overpass - 71% wins.
- Mirage - 62% wins.
- Vertigo - 56% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
Let's not forget that the Kosovo team is steadily banning the Nuke card.
The form of ex-Copenhagen Flames
The 56th ranked team of the world still continues to play in the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023, where they managed to get two wins over Ignis Serpens and LDLC.
Moreover, the Danish squad remains in play at the BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023, where they managed to outplay Websterz and MOUZ NXT after a Long Sopenhagen loss to Looking4Org.
Right now, however, ex-Copenhagen Flames are an incomprehensible team with no prospects, and the game looks poor with few exceptions.
Recent ex-Copenhagen Flames results:
- A 1-2 loss to HAVU.
- 2-1 win over LDLC.
- 1-2 defeat to Looking4Org.
- Beat Websterz by a score of 2-1.
- Beat MOUZ NXT 2-0.
Best ex-Copenhagen Flames:
- Overpass - 65% wins.
- Anubis - 63% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
In turn, the Danish team has not appeared on the Mirage map for a long time.
Bad News Eagles - ex-Copenhagen Flames encounter statistics
During the current season, the teams have played two meetings:
- Ex-Copenhagen Flames' 2-1 win at BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023.
- Bad News Eagles in the CCT South Europe Series 3 with a 2-0 win.
And both times the teams played on the Ancient map.
Prediction for Bad News Eagles - ex-Copenhagen Flames
Judging by the logic, Bad News Eagles purely on the experience should close the series in their favor. Obviously, they always have trouble with the Danes, but right now the ex-Copenhagen Flames can hardly be considered a full roster.
That said, the Danish team fails very often and this championship is hardly an exception. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Bad News Eagles team win.
