Guild Eagles uniforms
We start the match analysis with an analysis of the Guild Eagles' form. The Kosovars are playing as the number one side in this match, and the odds for them to win are at around 1.7.
Guild Esports 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, Bad News Eagles have made some noise this season as well: they finished Top 4 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A and Top 2 at ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2023 before going 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. All of them were so-so: two top-8, 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 corresponding - in the second round of the top grid Guild Eagles lost to BIG with the score 0-2.
Guild Eagles Mapple
Guild's favourite card 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 have won only once.
Form ALTERNATE aTTaX
Let's move on to the ALTERNATE aTTaX form. The Germans will play this match as Underpassdogs. The odds for their victory are at around 2.
The German club is ranked 62nd in the world ranking. This is all because of a very questionable performance during the year.
The team spent the entire first half of the year in various qualifications. These are OMEN WGR Challenge 2023: Closed Qualifier with a top-8 finish, CCT North Europe Series #3: Closed Qualfieir with a top-8 finish and CCT West Europe Series #1: Closed Qualifier with a top-12 finish.
Regular tournament play began closer to spring. However, any results were far away.
ALLTERNATE aTTax finished TOP-20 at CCT Central Europe Series, TOP-16 at CCT South Europe Series #4. In June, they finished Top 2 at the local ESL Meisterchaft: Spring 2023, and later Top 2 at CCT Central Europe Series #7.
- ALLTERNATE aTTax lineup: awzek, FreeZe, PerX, Spiidi, PAN!X.
The autumn was quite fruitful for AA. They placed in the top 4 at CCT Online Finals #3, XL Games 2023. They also participated in CCT North Europe Series #8 and CCT East Europe Series #3, where they finished in the top 16 twice.
Just before Online Finals #5 ALLTERNATE aTTax continued to compete at CCT Series tournaments. Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Online Finals. The best result was just at CCT Online Finals #4 with a top 8 there.
In the first round of CCT Online Finals #5 ALTERNATE aTTaX faced Aurora. Making their tournament debut against a stronger team, AA were legitimately Ledgeili, and with a score of 0-2. They managed to hang on to life at the tournament in the lower grid, where AA knocked out Team Space in the first round.

Predicted result of ALTERNATE aTTaX vs Guild Esports at CCT Online Finals #5
In this match I expect an even game. Both teams have almost identical chances to win if you look at the odds, and the overall performance and individual levels of performers are similar. In general, as far as I am concerned, the most logical bet is +2.5 total.
Bottom line: total +2.5.
