BESTIA and WINDINGO will meet in the semi-finals of the FiReLEAGUE Argentina 2023 Finals. It's worth noting that the winner of this small championship will get a slot in the FiReLEAGUE 2023 Global Finals, where The International will be much more exciting.
I don't think BESTIA will have any problems in this case, because the team looks quite decent by the standards of the Brazilian scene, not to mention Argentina.
WINDINGO, on the other hand, are a very secretive team, and you certainly can't expect any sensation from them. Here, therefore, I would rely on a sensational win for BESTIA.
BESTIA's form
The 77th ranked team in the world managed to win 1XPLORE Latin America Cup 1, where they proved to be stronger than such opponents as ODDIK, paiN Academy, Boca Juniors and TropiCaos.
The Argentine team then managed to reach the CBCS 2023 Season 1 play-offs with only one defeat at the hands of Sharks Esports in the group stage of the championship.
As for the CBCS 2023 Season 1 play-offs, here BESTIA managed to outplay ODDIK and Meta, but in the grand final again suffered a defeat by Sharks Esports, being limited to silver medals only.
Latest BESTIA results:
- A 16-8 win over VELOX.
- Victory over LRV with a score of 16-11.
- 2-1 victory over ODDIK.
- 2-0 win over Meta.
- 1-2 defeat by Sharks Esports.

- Nuke - 100% wins.
- Anubis - 75% wins.
- Inferno - 75% wins.
- Overpass - 62% wins.

Let's not forget that the Argentinian team has consistently failed to appear on the Vertigo map.
WINDINGO uniforms
The 131st ranked team in the world even won Aorus League 2023 Season 1 in May, but there was a local level and BESTIA was not even a contender.
Further on, the Argentine team managed to fail in 1XPLORE Latin America Cup 1 with three defeats, but also made it to the quarterfinals of Pinnacle Cup Brasil 1, in which it was BESTIA who Ledge.
WINDINGO, on the other hand, did well at the last FiReLEAGUE Argentina 2023, where Ledge beat Boca Juniors twice and reached the finals.
WINDINGO's latest results:
- A 2-1 win over W7M Academy.
- A 0-2 loss to BESTIA.
- 16-12 win over River Plate.
- Defeat to Boca Juniors 10-16.
- 2-1 win over River Plate.
WINDINGO's best scores:

- Nuke - 50% wins.
Interestingly, the WINDINGO team also does not appear on the Vertigo map.
BESTIA - WINDINGO match statistics
In the current season, the teams have met once - the Pinnacle Cup Brasil 1 victory went to BESTIA (2-0).
Forecast BESTIA - WINDINGO
Last time the teams played Anubis and Overpass, there was no contest at all. To be fair, I expect a similar result this time around, as WINDINGO are noticeably weaker than their opponents.
It is clear that BESTIA is unlikely to give 100%, but for the sake of the slot, the team probably wants to have some fun, along the way outplaying their neighbours from their home region.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a 2-0 win for BESTIA.
