Prediction on match CS2 Team K23 - SKADE

K23 and SKADE will compete for a place in the semifinals of the European Development Championship 1. For almost five months we have not seen the battle of the teams, so the upcoming meeting will be full of intrigue.

Form K23

The 38th team in the world ranking without any problems reached the quarterfinals of the European Development Championship 1, beating Copenhagen Flames (16: 9) and ALTERNATE aTTaX (2: 1). Along the way, the team fought in the MIDNITE Nine to Five 7, where they reached the semifinals. At the same time, K23 was able to beat Dignitas (2: 1), Copenhagen Flames (2: 1), AVEZ (2: 1) and even Endpoint (2: 0) during the championship. However, the defeat to Gambit (0: 2) put an end to the team's prospects.

Best K23 cards:

• Overpass - 63% wins.
• Dust 2 - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 58% wins.

It is noteworthy that both teams do not play on Vertigo, but with regard to K23 one cannot fail to notice problems on Mirage.

SKADE shape

The 43rd team in the world ranking failed at the end of November in Cyber.Bet Golden League 2020, losing to SJ with a score of 0: 2. Two weeks later, the team arrived at the European Development Championship 1, where they made it to the playoffs with great difficulty, beating Galaxy Racer twice (16: 3, 2: 1). At the same time, one cannot omit the defeat to HellRaisers (0: 2), where the team showed nothing at all.

Best SKADE cards:

• Train - 73% wins.
• Overpass - 64% wins.
• Inferno - 56% wins.
• Mirage - 56% wins.

However, the team has difficulties with Nuke, which the opponent can take advantage of.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams had only one face-to-face meeting - at Nine to Five 3, the victory went to K23 (2: 1).

Forecast for the match K23 - SKADE

I am convinced that the Kazakhstani team will advance to the semifinals of the European Development Championship 1. The team is in excellent shape. And despite being defeated by Gambit in the MIDNITE Nine to Five 7 semi-finals, K23 has a great chance of success in this championship. With SKADE, the situation is the opposite - the team is in a shaky state. In addition, the team has rarely performed in recent weeks. Therefore, I propose to bet on the victory of the K23 team with the odds of 1.58.
