BIG uniforms
Let's start the analysis of the match by analysing BIG's form. In this match they will play as favourites, with odds to win at around 1.1.
BIG have participated in a lot of championships, but not many decent results. They started the season with a top-9 finish at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, and continued with a top-16 finish at IEM Extreme Masters Katowice 2023.
There was also an appearance at ESL Pro League Season 17 with a top-20 there. The failures partially managed to cap off the Top-4 at the Elis Invitational Winter 2023, where the team reached the Top-4.
In the middle of the year, the Germans failed to qualify for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, finishing top-11 at RMR Europe and then top-3 at qualification. In the second half of the year they started playing CCT Series championships, where it is worth noting CCT Online Finals #1, with TOP-4, CCT West Europe Series $4 with TOP-2.
Back to the S-Tier tournaments with BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 with Top-9, and then Top-24 at IEM Cologne 2023.
- BIG lineup: tabseN, Krimbo, mantuu, prosus, s1n.
Prior to the ESL Pro League Season 18 Long Round, the team played at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #1 with a top-2 finish. There was also a top-8 at CCT East Europe Series #7 and a win at CCT Europe Series #7.
At ESL Pro League Season 18 they debuted with a match against Monte. The Ukrainian club fought honourably, but in the end they were defeated by Ledgeil with the score 1-2, putting BIG in the semi-finals of Group B at ESL Pro League Season 18.
In the previous match, BIG made perhaps the biggest sensation of the tournament. The Germans defeated Heroic, sending them to the bottom of the group.
Next, BIG played another big European club - ENCE. The Finns failed to win (1-2), but BIG made it to the play-offs, straight into the second round. That's where their ESL Pro League Season 18 journey came to an end.
BIG Ledge and Eternal Fire in the second round of play-offs with the score 0-2. Thus, the Germans took the EPL S18 top-12.
In the match before that, BIG played against 9INE. The Germans defeated their visions quite easily, closing the match with a score of 2-0.
Afterwards, BIG outplayed ENCE and advanced to the finals of BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023. However, BIG were not enough for the final as C9 won 2-0.
Prior to the Roobet Cup 2023, BIG played two CCT tournaments. It was CCT North Europe Series #8 and CCT East Europe Series #3. They finished in the top 16 at the latter, but won the North European tournament, beating Spirit 2-0 in the grand final.
The Roobet Cup 2023 ended quite well for BIG. The team finished in the top 8, and repeated that result at Thunderpick World Championship 2023. They also played at CCT Online FInals #4, where they finished in the top 3.

Zero Tenacity are ranked 61st in the HLTV World Rankings before the CCT Online Finals #5. Obviously, they play mostly at local championships and do not show any special results.

There were also appearances at the European Pro League Season 7 - followed by a top-6. A similar result was shown at the European Pro League Season 8: Division 2, where Zero Tenacity finished Top 8.
The Serbs had a productive summer of 2023. They finished top-2 at four tournaments in a row: RES Adriatic League Season 2, Telekom eSports Championship Season 2, LEON x TEAMPLAY Season 1, European Pro League Season 9: Division 2. Around the same period, ZT won A1 Adria League Season 11.

Previously the teams have not played each other in head-to-head matches. This match will be the debut match for the two sides.
Predicted result of BIG - Zero Tenacity at CCT Online Finals #5
In this match, as in most of the first round matches, I don't see why the underdog should compete with the favourite. These are literally teams of different levels and BIG should have no problem closing out the series 2-0.
Bottom line: 2-0 win for BIG.
