Copenhagen Flames Will win
Copenhagen Flames and EC Kyiv will meet again as part of the qualifier for IEM Dallas 2022. Let me remind you that the Ukrainian team won a sensational victory in the first open qualifier, but I personally do not believe that the stick shoots twice a year. Therefore, for me personally, Copenhagen Flames is the obvious favorite of the meeting.
Shape of Copenhagen Flames
The 18th team in the world ranking became the winner of PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR B, after which they managed to fail at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe and were eliminated after the quarterfinals. However, I think the Danes are fully focused on this qualification, as they will have time to rest later. And in general, Copenhagen Flames continues to seem like a fairly strong team.

It is interesting that recently the team has been actively playing Dust 2 instead of Inferno.
Form EC Kyiv
The 62nd team in the world ranking sensationally got into the closed qualifiers, but from that moment they managed to deflate. First of all, I'm talking about the elimination from Pinnacle Cup IV, as well as the defeat from Nemiga in the framework of ESEA Cash Cup: Europe - Spring 2022 #3. There is no need to talk about other tournaments, since EC Kyiv is stronger than many within the framework of ESEA Advanced.

- Victory over AGO with a score of 2:1.
- Defeat from Nemiga with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Fade Gaming with a score of 16:4.
- Lost to ALTERNATE aTTaX with a score of 14:16.
- Victory over Insilio with a score of 16:9.
Best EC Kyiv cards:

I note that the team does not play Nuke.

Prediction for Copenhagen Flames — EC Kyiv
You cannot step into the same river twice, and the stick shoots only once a year. I don't see any chances for the Ukrainian team, which already jumped above its head, getting into the closed qualifiers. Well, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Copenhagen Flames team.
All bookmakers have agreed that Copenhagen Flames is the favorite. This can be noticed because odds on them are 1.19. This number in the favor of Esports Club Kyiv amounts 4.4. Respectively, the last ones are the underdogs of the upcoming match.
