Match Prediction: Eternal Fire - SKADE | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Eternal Fire and SKADE will compete for the right to make it to the playoffs of Pinnacle Winter Series 3. Personally, I still don't trust the Bulgarian team, which sometimes shows a strange game, but somewhere else performs at the level of the best teams. In addition, in full force, Eternal Fire is definitely capable of imposing a fight, from which the intrigue in the match should remain until the third map.

Eternal Fire Form

The 30th team of the world ranking returned xfl0ud to the roster, with whom they immediately qualified for the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe. As for the current championship, here the Turkish team won two confident victories, showing themselves in all their glory. In addition, Eternal Fire is probably eager to take revenge for the defeat at the recent Elisa Invitational Winter 2021.

The 22nd team of the world recently became the winner of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2021, showing a very confident game. However, further on, the Bulgarian team managed to fail in the qualifiers for PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR. And even now SKADE plays with varying degrees of success, not only losing matches, but also managing to fail individual maps.

I note that the Bulgarian team stopped playing on the Vertigo map a long time ago.

Eternal Fire - SKADE meeting statistics

As part of the current season, the teams had one meeting - at Elisa Invitational Winter 2021, the victory went to SKADE (2:0).

Prediction for the match Eternal Fire — SKADE

This time, the Turkish team is definitely obliged to take Dust 2, otherwise it will be a complete disgrace. Moreover, SKADE is playing a little worse now, constantly creating problems for itself out of the blue. Nevertheless, the Bulgarian team is still strong on their favorite maps, where an aggressive style is important. Therefore, here I propose to bet more on Total on cards 2.5.
