Prediction on match CS2 ATK - Strife

ATK and Strife will meet in the quarterfinals of the ESL Challenger League Season 40: North America. It is clear that both teams do not claim to win the tournament, but ATK, having strengthened by the Europeans, looks like a favorite. Well, Strife barely made it to the playoffs of the championship, which is why I don’t see the team’s chances.

Form ATK

The 50th team in the world ranking failed in all local championships. However, at the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 40: North America, the team managed to really surprise, having obtained six victories at once. Moreover, ATK looked much stronger than other opponents, which is why we can conclude that the team was systematically preparing for a specific tournament.

Strife shape

The 60th team of the world ranking won Fragadelphia 16 at the beginning of the month. However, let's get back to the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 40: North America, following which the North American team almost missed the playoffs. Still, it's hard for Strife to offer something in the quarter-finals with such a game, because now the team is in the pit.

• Lost to Orgless with a score of 8:16.
