Match Prediction: paiN Gaming - 9z | Counter-Strike (CS2)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022: American RMRpaiN and 9z will compete for the last ticket to PGL Major Antwerp 2022 from the American region. I won't say that there is a favorite in this match, but 9z will have a clear emotional advantage after defeating Evil Geniuses. Nevertheless, the Brazilians should definitely not be forgotten, since they are no worse than their opponent.
Pain form
The 37th team in the world ranking at PGL Major Antwerp 2022: American RMR looks pretty good overall. Yes, the team had difficulties with MIBR, and there was also a collapse against Liquid. And yet, the Brazilians in shooting look very dignified, while the main thing is present in their game - the idea. In any case, paiN deserves to go to the major, but now we need to take the last step.
