Prediction on match CS2 Copenhagen Flames - Young Ninjas

Copenhagen Flames and Young Ninjas will play in the first round of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 play-offs. I wouldn't say that the Danish team is heavily outplayed, but they are the favourites.

As for Young Ninjas, the youngsters are doing quite well, but very rarely jump over their heads. That said, the fact that the team made the playoffs already deserves respect.

Nevertheless, here I would look out for a win by the Copenhagen Flames, who should close out the young Swedes on experience and go further.

Copenhagen Flames form

The 35th ranked team in the world managed to fail in the closed qualification for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR, where they suffered three defeats.

Immediately after that, the Danish team crashed out of the European Development Championship 7 and also made a successful start to the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 with two wins.

Along the way, Copenhagen Flames advanced to the playoffs of CCT South Europe Series 3, where they managed to beat Apeks and GODSENT, although the team looked a bit weak in places.

The latest results from Copenhagen Flames:

• A 0-2 loss to VOYVODA.
• Beat EYEBALLERS 2-1.
• Beat Bad News Eagles 2-1.
• Beat Apeks 2-1.
• Beat GODSENT 2-0.

Copenhagen Flames top cards:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Ancient - 85% wins.
• Anubis - 60% wins.
• Inferno - 55% wins.
• Nuke - 50% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Danish team still refuses to play the Mirage card.

Young Ninjas form

The 79th ranked team in the world managed to fail in the CCT North Europe Series 3, but at the same time qualified for the MistGames Heroes of Lofoten 2023.

However, the rollercoaster ride continued as the Swedish squad quickly crashed out of the CCT West Europe Series 1 playoffs.

However, Young Ninjas did well in the main stage of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 where they took three wins after five rounds and made the playoffs.

The latest Young Ninjas results:

• A 2-0 win over Apeks.
• 1-2 defeat of FORZE.
• 2-0 win over BIG Academy.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of Partizan.
• Beat Tricked 2-0.

Young Ninjas' best cards:

• Overpass - 83% wins.
• Vertigo - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 73% wins.
• Ancient - 50% wins.

In turn, the Swedish team does not feature on the Anubis card.

Copenhagen Flames - Young Ninjas encounter statistics

Last season, the teams played one meeting - in the closed qualification to CCT North Europe Series 1, Copenhagen Flames won (2-0).

Copenhagen Flames vs Young Ninjas

I don't think the young Swedes will be strong enough, as Young Ninjas' selection is poor, and in such matches the team loses more often than they surprise.

For their part, the Danish side have got off to a good start, although the boys' future remains unclear. Nevertheless, Young Ninjas are no match for them.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Copenhagen Flames win.
