Match Prediction: Sprout - Eternal Fire | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Sprout and Eternal Fire will meet in the upper bracket semi-finals of the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference Europe. Most importantly, the winner will qualify for ESL Pro League Season 17, while the loser will get another chance in the lower bracket.

To put it bluntly, in its current form, Sprout looks very decent, and the team is clearly ready to take the next step. In turn, the Turkish team started with victories in this tournament, but rather controversially beat two outsiders.

In general, the wards of BERRY personally seem to me to be the clear favorites of this meeting. Yes, and Eternal Fire clearly lacks team play, although the guys are all on the level with shooting.

Sprout form

The nineteenth team of the world ranking failed at the ESL Meisterschaft Autumn 2022 and CCT North Europe Series, actually signing under their fatigue.

And yet, at the very flag, the Danish team reached the third line of the ESL Challenger League Season 43 Europe, where they failed to get just a little to the final.

As for the start of the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference Europe, here Sprout rolled over the French from the Falcons, after which I want to make the team a favorite for the next match.

Latest Sprout results:

• 2:0 victory over BLUEJAYS.

Best Sprout cards:

• Ancient - 73% of wins.

At the same time, the Danish team did not lose anything, since now they are banning the Anubis map.

Eternal Fire Form

The 42nd team of the world ranking managed to win the local ESL Turkey Championship Season 11. However, this is where the achievements of the Turkish team end, as it gave a terrible ending to the last season.

However, Eternal Fire got off to a good start in 2023, scoring two wins at the start of ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference Europe. Still, it's too early to judge the team, because those opponents were relatively average.

Latest Eternal Fire results:

• Defeated by HONORIS with a score of 1:2.
• 2:0 victory over gothboiclique.
• The victory over The Chosen Few with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Genk with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Partizan with a score of 2:0.

Best Eternal Fire maps:

• Inferno - 80% win rate.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.

In turn, the Turkish team still refuses the Ancient card.

Sprout vs Eternal Fire Match Statistics

As part of the last season, the teams had one meeting - in the closed qualifiers for ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2022, the victory went to Eternal Fire (2:1).

Prediction for the match Sprout — Eternal Fire

Last time the teams played on Inferno, Nuke and Vertigo. It is likely that at least two cards will appear this time as well. Nevertheless, given the start, Eternal Fire does not make much impression yet, and it is hard to believe in winning such a match.

In turn, the wards of BERRY started very powerfully, showing an excellent game against the backdrop of the French who got in shape. They will not speak for two cards, but the essence is clear. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Sprout team.
