Match Prediction: Rooster - Monte | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 18Welcome back to EGamersWorld.
We continue to follow what's happening at ESL Pro League Season 18. The 32-team, $835,000 commercial tournament continues with the group stages.
We're talking about Basket D, where Monte - Rooster, among others, are battling it out for the play-offs. They will open the lower part of the net, where they will not have a chance to make a mistake.
The match, frankly speaking, should be a dull spectacle, because on paper the level of the teams is very different. However, there is no denying the possibility of unexpected success.
Let's find out who of the pair Monte - Rooster will be stronger in this confrontation and continue their way through Group D, and who will have to say goodbye to ESL Pro League without even starting their performance here.
Let's go.
Monte's uniform
Let's open the match with an analysis of Monte's form. In this match, they play the first number one.
The bookmakers are fully confident in Monte's success. The odds for their victory are at around 1.1.
According to the odds it seems that Rooster has no chance. Indeed, the teams are very different in terms of the level of play, and Monte should have no problem passing the Australian team.
Monte almost never miss tournaments, hence their appearances in a lot of TIR-2 events. There are failures, like the top 16 at CCT South Europe Series #3, and victories, like at CCT West Europe Series #2 and CCT Central Europe Series #5.
However, Monte became famous thanks to his performance at BLAST.tv Paris Major. At the Paris Major, unexpectedly for many, Monte made it to the top 8, but in the first match of play-offs Ledge and GamerLegion.
Before the Long Cologne IEM Cologne 2023 they had a series of unsuccessful tournaments. They finished top-16 at the next CCT, this time North Europe Series #5, and top-8 at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023.
- Monte lineup: sdy, br0, Woro2k, DemQQ, kRaSnaL .
After a great run at BLAST.tv Major 2023, Monte left the headliner of that roster - BOROS, and was replaced by Astralis Talent member - Danish br0.
Monte rolled out the roster at Play-In IEM Cologne 2023, where they defeated Brazilian teams twice: first Imperial 16-9 and then FURIA 2-1 in the series. Monte beat GamerLegion in the group stage, but were unable to face more serious opponents like Heroic. IEM Cologne 2023 ended with a match against Cloud9. Monte tried, but Ledgeilie more titled club with a score of 0-2.
Before ESL Pro League Season 18 played a number of local championships. Among them were CCT Series tournaments, where Monte finished in the top 4, and top 2 at CCT North Europe Series #7, and there was also Pinnacle Cup V, where the Ukrainian club again finished in the top 4.
In the debut match at ESL Pro League Season 18 they met with the Germans from BIG. As expected, the match was equal, especially on the first two maps, but the decisive one was very lopsided: 16-5 in favour of BIG and Monte fell to the bottom net.
Monte's Mapple
Monte's best map is Ancient. There Monte has 7 wins in 9 matches. However, Mirage can also be called a signature choice for the Ukrainian club: it has been played 13 times and won 10 of them.
Things are not bad on Anubis, where Monte has 8 wins and 4 losses.
The worst is Vertigo. There Monte have a statistic of 2-4.
Rooster Form
Let's move to the analysis of Rooster's form, who are playing in the status of catching up in this match. Moreover, with a serious lag.
Bookmakers, to put it mildly, do not believe in the success of the Australians. The odds for their victory are somewhere in the region of 12.
Speaking of odds. In this case it seems to me that the figure is a bit overestimated, because Monte look far from ultimatum and even in the match against Heroic - the top-3 team in the world - Rooster had more chances. Somehow.
The Aussie club had a pretty eventful year andVent. However, the level of these tournaments was quite low.
Among the most productive championships were the ESEA Cash Cup Oceania series tournaments. Rooster played 6 of them, 5 of which were won and one of them took TOP-2. Then there were all kinds of qualifications and qualifying championships, including qualification for ELS Pro League Season 18, which Rooster successfully overcame.
- Rooster roster: asap, chelleos, ADK, nettik, TjP.
The mono-national roster underwent changes at the beginning of the summer. Then TjP joined the team and became the leader of the team with a rating of 1.19. However, it should be understood that Rooster played against Australian teams, and this is definitely not the level of CS-1 TIR, where Heroic is constantly on the top positions.
At ESL Pro League Season 18, the Australians debuted with a match against the Danes from Heroic. No The International rigmarole there, as Heroic slammed Rooster 16-2 on Inferno and 16-4 on Mirage.
Rooster's mappool
Rooster's best map is the neutral Inferno. They have played it 5 times, of which they have won all of them.
Next is Mirage (4 games, 3 wins), Nuke (4 games, 50% wins), Vertigo (2 games, 1 win).
Among the worst are Overpass (1 win and 2 losses), and also Anubis (0 wins with only one pick).
History of head-to-head meetings
Previously, the teams have not played each other in official matches. This match is the debut match.
Predicted result of the match Monte - Rooster at ESL Pro League
In this match I do not expect any revelations, but I leave the chances for The International ring. After all, Monte look very chaotic and even the Aussies can take advantage of that. I don't think it will happen, but a bad feeling is in place. I'll put 2-0 on Monte, but keep an eye on the match.
Bottom line: a 2-0 win for Monte.
