Form sAw
Initiating our match analysis, let's first focus on evaluating the form of sAw. In this particular match, the Portuguese team contends against the top-ranked opponent, with odds favoring them at around 1.5. Delving into further details and consulting CSGO trading sites can provide additional insights into sAw's current performance and enhance our understanding of the upcoming matchup.
sAw are ranked 30th in the HLTV world rankings. This is thanks to playing in a lot of tournaments of different calibre.
They started the year with qualifications for ESL Pro League Season 17: European Conference. There we shared the top 1. Then there were two Top 4s at CCT South Europe Series #2 and OMEN WGR Challenge 2023.
There were also appearances at major championships, such as ESL Pro League Season 17. However, it was not possible to get a high result, only TOP-28, but the experience of the game.
Later sAw took the top 8 at CCT North Europe Series #4, top 4 at ESL Challenger League Season 44: Europe. In April 2023, sAw played at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, but failed to rise above the TOP-16. But they managed to do it later, at local tournaments.
This was the case at Masters League Portugal Season 11: Online, where sAw won the trophy by beating For the Win in the final. This was the case at ESL Masters Espana Season 13: Onilne Stage, ESL Masters Espana Season 13, CCT West Europe #4.
- Composition sAw: MUTiRiS, rmn, ewjerkz, story, arrozdoce.
Before taking part in CCT Online Finals #5 sAw played a lot of championships and, to be fair, they were good almost everywhere. They took top 2 at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2, CCT North Europe Series #6, Aveiro Techdays Cup 2023, Master League Portugal Season 12: Online Stage.
We also played in big tournaments, such as Thunderpick World Championship 2023, where unfortunately for us we couldn't rise above TOP-12. At the end of November we won Master League Portugal Season 12 and XL Games Clash 2023.
CCT Online Finals #5 sAw Long Sogpeg were very confident. They easily ran over Team Space in the first round of the top set, winning 2-0. What came next was more difficult.
In the second round of CCT Online Finals #5 sAw met Aurora, who were stronger than the Portuguese. The match lasted 3 maps and sAw even won the first one, but it didn't go any further and as a result Aurora reached the semi-finals winning their series 1-2.
In the match for the third round of play-offs CCT Online #5 sAw met Zero Tenacity. The Portuguese had no trouble getting past their vis-a-vis, closing out the series with a 2-0 score.

The most successful map for sAw is Nuke, where the Spaniards have 3 wins with 1 loss. Followed by Vertigo with a score of 2-1 and Ancient with a score of 3-2.
Neutral choices are Inferno and Anubis. Both maps have been played 4 times and on both maps the stats are 2-2.
The worst situation is on Overpass, where sAw won 2 matches out of 6.
Mirage are not playing.
Red Canids form
We continue the analysis of the match Red Canids vs sAw with the analysis of the former's form. In this match the Brazilians play as the number two with odds to win at around 2.4.
Red Canids are the 54th team in the HLTV world ranking. Considering this fact, you should not expect a top game from them, but they can still do some things.
Into The Breach has played in a lot of online tournaments and qualifiers. Red Canids have placed top-8 at EPL S17: SA Conference - Open Qualifier, top-16 at IEM Rio 2023: SA Open Qualfiier, top-16 at CCT South America Serie #4.
In February this year Red Canids finished TOP-8 at TG Masters Spring 2023 and TOP-4 at CCT South America Series #5, which can be called the best result for the year.
- Red Canids roster: DeStiNy, hardzao, nython, dav1deuS, venomzera.
In the middle of the year Red Canids played in a number of tournaments, where they showed good, as for themselves, results. I'm talking about TOP-4 at ESL Brasil Premier League Season 14, TOP-2 at Dust2 Brasil Liga Season 1.
Before appearing at CCT Online Finals #5, Red Canids won Copa BetBoom 2023 and EPL World Series: Americas Season 4. There were still less successful CBCS Invitational 2023 and CBCS 2023 Season 3, Top 8 and Top 4 respectively.
CCT Online Finals #5 Red Canids faced off against Into The Breach. One of the fastest progressing teams of the year, ITB won 2-0. Next, Red Canids faced off against Vortex and eventually knocked them out of the tournament, winning their match 2-0.
Next, Red Canids played against Sprout. Being the underdog in that match, the Brazilians outplayed their opponents quite unexpectedly, and did so with a score of 2-0.
Red Canids Mapple
The best Red Canids team is Mirage. They played 12 matches and won 9 of them.
Next were Overpass with 8 matches and 5 wins. They play Nuke (7 matches, 4 wins), Inferno (9 matches, 5 wins). Worse goes to Ancient with 3 wins in 6 matches, and worst of all was Anubis. His Red Canids have been picked 7 times, but played with a winrate of 42%.
Not playing on Vertigo.
History of head-to-head meetings sAw - Red Canids
Previously, the teams have not played each other in head-to-head meetings. This match will be the first experience for the two sides.
Predicted result of sAw vs Red Canids on CCT Online #5
In this match we should expect a fight. The Portuguese from sAw look brighter, but RC showed a great game in the previous game and will give a fight here as well. However, I still believe in the victory of sAw.
Bottom line: sAw win.
