Match Prediction: forZe - Renegades | CS2 (CS:GO)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers StageforZe and Renegades will play as part of the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers Stage. Yes, we are waiting for BO1, where a sensation is possible more than ever. However, I do not have much faith in the Australian team, which over the past year has achieved nothing, if you leave out the local level. In this regard, forZe, which has already jumped above its head, has a good chance of getting the first victory at the Major.

The 26th team of the world ranking played great at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A. Moreover, the Russian team almost made it to the “legends”, losing to NAVI in tie-breaks. Here forZe managed to go to ESEA Season 41: Advanced Division - Europe, where it immediately lost. However, the team that showed character at the RMR tournament should not be judged by these matches.

- Victory over SAW with a score of 2:1.

Let me remind you that the Russian team has not played on the Vertigo map for a long time.
Renegades form
The 51st team in the world ranking actually made it to PGL Major Antwerp 2022 with great difficulty, which was the first bell. Later, the team did not qualify for IEM Dallas 2022, having left in the open stage of the qualifiers. Yes, we can remember the victory at ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 14. However, all this does not add confidence to Renegades, which settled too tightly in its region.
Renegades latest results:
- Defeated by Aftershock with a score of 7:16.
- Victory over Antic with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over DGG with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over VERTEX with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over VERTEX with a score of 3:0.

- Dust 2 - 100% win rate.
- Nuke - 71% of wins.
- Ancient - 67% of wins.
- Inferno - 60% of wins.
- Mirage - 60% of wins.
At the same time, the team will definitely refuse the Overpass map.

Prediction for forZe vs Renegades
For me personally, it is enough to dwell on a comparison of the two regions. If some of them have been playing in Oceania for many years, taking everything in a row, but not getting any competition, then the latter have greatly improved in the new season. Moreover, the Russian team managed to prove that it holds up well on LAN. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the forZe team with Handicap by rounds (-3.5).
