Match Prediction: Sprout - RED Canids | CS2 (CS:GO)
CCT Online Finals #5Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to review what's happening at CCT Online Finals #5. There are 16 teams playing for $200,000 and 2 slots at the CCT Global Finals.
Into The Breach and Red Canids are among the number of contenders to win. Obviously, this pair doesn't have a great chance of winning the tournament, but what the heck, especially at this level of championships.
We aim to discern which of the teams will showcase greater strength in the opening Best of Three (bo3) and progress further up the grid, securing a favorable position. Simultaneously, we'll identify the team that will descend to the lower grid. Observing these dynamics and consulting CSGO trading sites can provide valuable perspectives on team performance and potential outcomes in the upcoming matches.
Let's go.
Into The Breach
Let's open the match analysis with an analysis of Into The Breach's form. In this match the team will play the first number one with odds to win at around 1.5.
The 21st team of the world ranking is deservedly in the outsider status. All because of fresh results, first of all Ninjas In Pyjamas.
However, it is difficult to call ITB a completely passable opponent and even NiP. In the 2023 season, the team made a lot of noise.
If the half-year started with very mediocre results like TOP-16 at CCT South Europe and TOP-24 at CCT North Europe, it continued with landmark results on the international stage. ITB surprised with a top-3 finish at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 European RMR A, but the main sensation was the Main Event and the only Major of the season - Paris Major.
Into The Breach made it to the championship play-offs, where they lost to future world champions Vitality in the first round. All in all, decent.
However, Into The Breach has yet to establish itself as a competitive team due to its fickleness. After a spectacular appearance in the play-offs of the Major, ITB did not show any results. The only small result was a top-8 finish at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023 and a win at the local ESL Premiership Spring 2023.
- Into The Breach lineup: rallen, CRUC1AL, Bymas, misutaaa, maxster.
Later ITB played IEM Cologne 2023. We played with mediocre success, finishing in the top 24. Then there were a number of local championships with rare successes.
For example, Into The Breach finished in the top 12 at CCT Online Finals #2 and in the top 16 at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #1. There was also a Top 8 at CCT Central Europe Series #7 and a Top 16 at CCT East Europe Series #1.
The most "successful" period can be called September of this year. Then Into The Breach took TOP-3 at Polska Liga Esportowa Superpuchar 2023 with TOP-3 there, RES Western European Masters Fall 2023 with TOP-2 there and Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2 with TOP-4 there.
Then there are a number of failed tournaments and they are all from the CCT series. Those were CCT Online Finals #3 with a top-16, top-16 at CCT East Europe Series #2, top-8 at CCT North Europe Series #8. Before appearing at their fifth ITB Online Finals, they won CCT East Europe Series #4 and Top-4 at CCT Online Finals #4.
Into The Breach mapper
Best map ITB in 90 days - Vertigo. In 9 maps 66% wins.
Next is Overpass with 66% wins, but already for 6 maps. In principle, Anubis or Ancient would be normal. Both have 50% wins, but Anubis has been played 10 times and Ancient 6 times.
What ITB don't want to play is Mirage. Only 3 wins in 10 games there.
Red Canids form
Let's continue the match breakdown by analysing the Red Canids' match form. In this match, the Brazilian club is playing as the number two, and the odds for a win are at around 2.5.
Red Canids are the 54th team in the HLTV world ranking. Given this fact, they should not be expected to play at the top, but they can still do some things.
Into The Breach has played 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 battled Vortex and eventually knocked them out of the tournament, winning their match 2-0.
Red Canids Mappool
The Red Canids' best mapper is Mirage. They played 12 matches and won 9 of them.
Next were Overpass with 8 matches and 5 wins. 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 have played with a winrate of 42%.
Not playing on Vertigo.
Head-to-head history between Sprout and Red Canids
Sprout and Red Canids have not had any official head-to-head meetings before this match.
Predicted result of Red Canids vs Sprout at CCT Online Finals #5
Rec Canids are not happy at all in this tournament. Sprout look like a different level team against them, capable of taking maps even from G2, not to mention Red Canids.
Bottom line: Sprout won with a score of 2-0.
