Match Prediction: Apeks - OG | CS2 (CS:GO)

Apeks and OG will meet in the group stage of Brazy Party 2023. The winner of this match will go to the play-offs, while the loser plays someone from the pair of Eternal Fire - GODSENT.

I do not think that Apeks will be able to pull off another miracle, because the team doesn't look good at all, and with the Turks they pulled off a mini-miracle by snatching victory from the opponents.

In their turn, the team outclassed GODSENT, leaving no questions asked. So here I would rely on a logical victory for the OG team, who are clearly the better side of the opponent.

Apeks form

The 33rd ranked team in the world managed to fail in the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 play-offs, where they quickly lost to a dismantled MOUZ and went on to prepare.

However, right after that the European squad played well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, but look who that one beat - GamerLegion, Sprout and B8 Esports.

As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of Brazy Party 2023, here Apeks barely outplayed Eternal Fire, leaving more negative emotions. And with a game like that, the team clearly has no business being in the play-offs.

Apeks latest results:

• A 2-0 win over B8 Esports.
• 2-0 win over Partizan.
• 2-0 win over K23.
• Beat ENCE Academy 2-0.
• Beat Eternal Fire 2-1.

Apeks top scorers:

• Anubis - 87% wins.
• Ancient - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 57% wins.
• Overpass - 56% wins.
• Mirage - 54% wins.

Let's not forget that the European squad is giving up Nuke.

OG shape

The thirteenth team of the world ranking also took part in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where it was marked by losses from FaZe Clan and GamerLegion, but still qualified for the major.

Immediately after that, OG made it to the group stage of IEM Rio 2023 where they beat Vitality and fnatic but were defeated by Cloud9 and Vitality and were left without play-offs.

Speaking of Long Corner at the Brazy Party 2023 group stage, here the European squad failed to notice GODSENT, showing two excellent matches and getting a well-deserved victory.

The latest OG results:

• Victory over Vitality with a score of 19-17.
• Defeat to Cloud9 by a score of 0-2.
• 2-0 win over fnatic.
• 1-2 defeat of Vitality.
• 2-0 win over GODSENT.

Top scorers for OG:

Interestingly, the OG team also doesn't show up on the Nuke map.

Prediction for the match Apeks - OG

I do not see the point in telling anything about Apeks, because the team wins by chance. And let's not forget about the banal difference in class, as OG is constantly competing with the best.

In general, the situation is not in favor of Apeks, because there is no way to bounce back or play against their peers. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on an OG team win.
