Let's go.

Guild Eagles uniforms

We start the match analysis with the Guild Eagles form. In this match, Kosovars play the first number one, with odds to win around 1.4.

Guild Eagles is a new name, but the team is quite famous. They are the same Bad News Eagles that rocked last year, making it to PGL Antwerp 2022. They finished in the top 16 there, but the fact that they made it to the Major and made it to the legends stage is something to be respected.

Guild, David Beckham's club, thought so and signed a team from Kosovo. By the way, before that Bad News Eagles made a lot of noise this season: they finished Top 4 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A and Top 2 at ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2023, after which they went to the Paris Major. There even managed to improve last year's result and entered the TOP-14.

From the acceptable results were TOP-4 at CCT North Europe Series #7 and RES Eastern European Masters: Fall 2023. There were also performances at CCT North, East and Central Europe. Not so good everywhere: two top-8s, one top-16.

• Guild Eagles: SENER1, gxx-, juanflatroo, sinnopsyy, rigoN.

Under the Guild Eagles tag, the ex-Bad News Eagles managed to attend three championships. They were CCT East Europe Series #4, CCT Online Finals #4 and A1 Gaming League Season 7. At the first one, the Kosovars finished in the top 16 after losing to Team Space with a 1-2 score, at the second one they finished in the top 12 after losing to ALTERNATE aTTaX and finally in the top 8.

CCT Online Finals #5 Guild Eagles started with a win over Vertex (2-1). Then the opponent was much more serious and the result was the same - in the second round of the top grid Guild Eagles lost to BIG with the score 0-2.

In the match for the third round of the lower grid CCT Online Finals #5 Eagles met ALTERNATE aTTaX. "The Eagles had a tough time, but got the 2-1 win.

Guild Eagles faced Anonymo Esports in a match to advance to the quarterfinals of the lower grid. "The Eagles proved to be stronger and did not feel their opponents. Then there was a serious test with a match against G2 Esports, which Guild Eagles coped with: a 2-1 victory allowed the Eagles to get into the top 3 and that was the end of their journey through CCT Online Finals #5: they lost to Aurora in the match for the grand final.

At the end of last season Guild played two more tournaments: YaLLa Compass Fall 2023 and Gaming Devoted Become The Best. Both with mixed success: top 8 at YaLLa and top 4 at Gaming Devoted.

In 2024 played 3 qualifiers andVent: IEM Chengdu 2024: European Open Qualifier #1, EPL Season 19: European Conference and TOP-8 at IEM Chengdu 2024: European Qualifier.

At PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024: European RMR B, things are going very poorly for the Eagles. "The Eagles lost two matches, against MOUZ and ENCE, but they played 14-16 against MOUZ and 6-13 against ENCE. I mean, the ideas are clearly there.

Guild Eagles Mapple

Guild's favourite map remains Inferno. The Eagles have played it three times in the last 3 months and won all their games there. Nuke is also doing well, with MOUZ winning 3 out of 4 Nuke games played.

Among the good options are Vertigo and Ancient, where Guild has 2 wins in 3 games.

The most undesirable map is Mirage. Guild Eagles have played it 6 times, but they managed to win only once.

Nexus Gaming form

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Nexus Gaming form. In this match they play as a number two, with the odds of winning at around 3.

Nexus Gaming is quite an old club, but it can't boast of any special results. In fact, their stupation started somewhere in 2023, and their performance at PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 European RMR B. Also - they are those "ploughmen", but not always much equals good.

In 2023, Nexus Gaming made a lot of appearances at a lot of tournaments of different calibres. Mostly they played at small, local championships and all sorts of qualifiers, but there were entries on a larger stage.

For example, the team was TOP-5 at Thunderpick Bitcoin Series #2, TOP-19 at CCT West EUrope Series #1, TOP-2 at A1 Gaming League 2023, TOP-16 at CCT North Europe Series #4 and CCT West Europe Seris #2. And all of this - in the first half of 2023.

From there on out, there was only more. Winning STR8 Game, TOP-2 at EPL Season 11: Division 2, TOP-24 at CCT East Europe Series #3, TOP-12 at EPL Season 11, 5-6th places at United21 Season 7. In general, they played really a lot, but with low efficiency.

• Nexus Gaming roster: BTN, ragga, RELLOW, s0und, ERSIN.

In 2024, the club, again, was active. To a large extent, this was evident in the number of qualifiers, where Nexus played mixed with C-rank tournaments. The team finished in 16th place at United21 Season 10, Top 11 at European Pro League Season 14: Division 2 and Top 12 at IceBonus Series #1.

At PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 European RMR B made it to PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier Decider on their 5th attempt, defeating sYnck. At PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B Long Sogpeg suffered two losses, first to Astralis with a score of 5-13, and then to Ledge and Monte with a score of 9-13.

Nexus Gaming Mapple

Nexus Gaming has two convenient maps: Inferno and Anubis. On both maps the club has 1 match and 1 win.

Then comes Vertigo with 3 wins and 1 loss. In the pool there are Ancient and Mirage, where on the first one Nexus Gaming has 5 wins and 5 losses, and on the second one - 3 wins and 3 losses.

The worst options for Nexus Gaming would be Nuke and Overpass with 0 winrate with 3 games on the former and 1 game on the latter.

Predicted result of the match Nexus Gaming - Guild Eagles at PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024: European RMR B

In this match I believe in the victory of Eagles, but Nexus can show their teeth, which they already showed in the match against Monte. In my opinion, it makes sense to look at Nexus taking maps or total +2.5.

Bottom line: Eagles win/total +2.5.
