Match Prediction: ex-Copenhagen Flames - Apeks | CS2 (CS:GO)

ex-Copenhagen Flames and Apeks will play in the grand final of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023. In this case, the winner will not only get money, but also an invite to a LAN tournament in Finland in the autumn.

Frankly speaking, it is unlikely that the Danish team will come up here, because so far Apeks looks like the team that is 100% ready to take the championship.

And the face-to-face stats don't speak in favour of the ex-Copenhagen Flames, who have lost two of their last three head-to-head matches. Therefore, I would lean on the Apeks team to win here.

Form of the ex-Copenhagen Flames

The 47th ranked team in the world most recently failed in the BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023 and CCT 2023 Online Finals 1, where they showed no fight at all.

Here the other day the Danish team decided to merge with CCT North Europe Series 5 and CCT West Europe Series 4, where they also didn't show anything of note, losing to whoever they could.

However, at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023 play-offs, the ex-Copenhagen Flames have been doing very well so far, as they have already beaten ECLOT, Movistar Riders and EYEBALLERS to reach the final.

Latest ex-Copenhagen Flames results:

• A 2-0 win over ECLOT.
• A 1-2 loss to Endpoint.
• A 0-2 defeat at the hands of 500.
• 2-0 win over Movistar Riders.
• Beat EYEBALLERS 2-1.

Best ex-Copenhagen Flames:

• Overpass - 61% wins.
• Anubis - 58% wins.
• Inferno - 55% wins.

It should be remembered that the Danish team still rejects Mirage.

The tenth team of the world ranking was a revelation at the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they reached the semifinals only to be defeated there by Vitality.

Moreover, the European side also celebrated a win at ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe where they put up a good winning streak and passed many worthy opponents.

As for the play-offs of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023, here Apeks managed to beat Sangal, Into the Breach, and MOUZ. Moreover, with its last victory the team let it be known that they will attend the LAN tournament in Finland.

The latest results from Apeks:

• 3-2 victory over Spirit Academy.
• Defeated Sangal 2-0.
• 2-1 win over Into the Breach.
• 1-2 defeat of the Young Ninjas.
• 2-0 win over MOUZ.

Apeks top scorers:

• Anubis - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Ancient - 74% wins.
• Overpass - 71% wins.
• Mirage - 53% wins.

In turn, the European team has long given up on Nuke.

Ex-Copenhagen Flames - Apeks preview

No long speeches, because after the defeat of MOUZ, the Europeans have to be psyched and warmed up. And the ex-Copenhagen Flames are obvious underdogs, and the Danes have no business in a LAN tournament. So in this case, I'd recommend betting on a victory for the Apeks.
