Match Prediction: fnatic - 9INE | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2023 Europefnatic and 9INE will meet in the final quarterfinals of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe. Frankly speaking, I don't quite understand why fnatic should be invited here, as they've lost their momentum and stability.
On the other hand, the Polish team looks very good, and at their level, the guys usually win. Moreover, there is no doubt in the motivation of the 9INE players as they began their journey back in the open qualifiers.
As for fnatic, it is better not to look at the latest results as it has gotten to the point where the team is losing not only to FURIA but also to whoever under the Let us cook tag.
So here I would take a closer look at the map from the Polish team 9INE. It's clear that fnatic is closer to winning, but the Poles won't be statist and will try to cause trouble for the controversial favorite of the encounter.
Form of fnatic
The ninth-ranked team in the world managed to make it through to the ESL Pro League Season 17 playoffs, although they managed to suffer losses to Outsiders and G2 Esports in the group and also bounced back twice from Eternal Fire.
Next up, fnatic decided to take part in CCT North Europe Series 4, but they'd better not embarrass themselves as losing to Let us cook in the first round is something of a mess.
And in the playoffs of the same ESL Pro League Season 17 European team has not showed itself, losing to mediocre Brazilians from FURIA that have no less problems. In general, the situation is stalemated, and fnatic has slowed down a lot.
Latest fnatic results:
- A 1-2 loss to G2 Esports.
- Defeated IHC Esports 2-1.
- 2-1 win over Eternal Fire.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of Let us cook.
- 0-2 defeat to FURIA.
Best fnatic maps:
- Nuke - 83% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 50% wins.
It is worth remembering that the European team usually gives up the Anubis card.
Form 9INE
The 25th world ranked team won the RES Western European Masters Spring 2023, thanks to which they qualified for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe.
The Polish team went on to reach the semi-finals of CCT South Europe Series 3, but rather unexpectedly fell in the play-offs of Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 and CCT North Europe Series 4.
Of the latter, 9INE also reached the final of ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe, but there in an unthinkable way lost to Monte, losing their one card advantage. Still, the Poles were clearly preparing for this tournament, otherwise why all of it then.
The latest results from 9INE:
- A 2-1 win over Nexus.
- Defeat at the hands of 500, 1-2.
- 2-0 win over K23.
- 2-1 win over 1WIN.
- 1-3 defeat at the hands of Monte.
Top 9INE cards:
- Vertigo - 88% wins.
- Nuke - 80% wins.
- Anubis - 73% wins.
- Overpass - 73% wins.
- Mirage - 64% wins.
In turn, the Polish team has not played on the Inferno map for a long time.

Prediction for the match fnatic - 9INE
To be honest, I do not believe in the prospects of fnatic. The team just ran out of ideas and it's obvious that they need to change the lineup again, which was already patched for several championships last year.
On the other hand, at their level, the Polish team is quite good. Yes, 9INE do have their moments, which are difficult to explain logically. However, the team will definitely fight for the given opportunity.
In general, here everything rests on the general decline of fnatic and the presence of several strong cards from the Poles. So in this case I would recommend betting on Forum on cards (+1.5) for the 9INE team.
