Team SoloMid uniforms

Let's open our analysis of the TSM vs 3DMax match with an analysis of Team SoloMid's uniforms. In this match, the American team, but with European registration, will play the first number with odds to win at 1.7.

Team SoloMid is one of the most The International heresy teams at Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B. It is interesting because of its formal North American affiliation. Interesting because of its formal affiliation to the North American region, as the club itself is from there, but the CS division is entirely Danish and consists of very recognisable players.

• TSM's roster: valde, Zyphon, acoR, Altekz, niko.

TSM had a long stagnation in the Counter-Strike 2 competitive scene. The organisation went on pause in 2017 before returning to the competitive scene in 2023. The successes then were, to put it mildly, so-so. From the victories - the championship at the TIR-C ESEA Cash Cup: Europe - Autumn 2023 #3. Got into the prize money at ESEA Season 47: Advanced Division and that was it.

In the season 2024 continued to play at TIR-C tournaments, such as European Pro League. At the European Pro League Season 13 we got TOP-3, but before that we failed all qualifiers for major tournaments, including PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 and IEM Chengdu 2024. They tried to qualify for the Elisa Invitational Spring 2024 and IEM Dallas, but failed: TOP-16 and TOP-8 respectively.

In the second half of the year, they finished TOP-1 at Skin.Club Summer Cup 2024, European Pro League Season 19: Division 2.

Just before PW Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B, TSM competed at CCT Season 2 European Series #14, where they finished in TOP-17, ESL CHallenger League Season 48: Europe, where they finished in TOP-8, and CCT Season 2 European Series #14, where they finished in TOP-19.

TSM Mapple

The most successful map of Team SoloMid is Mirage, where the Danes have 11 wins and 5 losses. Next comes - Nuke, where they won 9 matches and lost 6. The last "plus" map is Inferno, where they won 10 matches and lost 8 times.

On Dust2 - 4 wins and 5 losses, and also play Ancient (3-7) and Vertigo (2-5).

3DMax Form

We continue the analysis of the match 3DMax - TSM with the analysis of 3DMax form. In this match they play in Underpassdog status with odds to win at around 2.4.

3DMAX's record includes an appearance at CCT West Europe Serie #3, which was the debut tournament for the Frenchmen. There they reached the top 3, which can be called a good Long Sogpeg.

Then there was a series of qualifying tournaments and local championships. Among those that can be noted is ESL Championnat National Spring 2023, which was the first tournament won for the French.

3DMAX's performance improved in the second half of the year. Among other things, they won the qualifiers for ESL Challenger at DreamHack Winter 2023: European Open Qualifier and ESL Challenger at DreamHack Winter 2023: European Qualifier. They also won the ESEA Cash Cup: Europe - Autumn 2023 #2.

• 3DMAX roster: Lucky, Djoko, Ex3rcice, Maka, Graviti.

The last event for 3DMAX was CCT East Europe Series #3. There we managed to reach TOP-2, but a little bit was not enough: 3DMAX took TOP-2, losing in the finals to 1WIN.

After 3DMAX played at ESL Challenger Winter 2023. They managed to get into the top 8, which is not a good result.

At ESL Challenger League Season 46: Europe 3DMAX shone. The Frenchmen went over the heads of their opponents very confidently, which eventually translated into a tournament victory with a convincing 3-0 win against forZe in the grand finals.

There were far fewer high-profile wins in the 2024 season. 3DMAX finished top-11 at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier, IEM China 2024: European Open Qualifier, top-4 at RES Western European Masters: Spring 2024, and top-12 at European RMR A.

Prior to the ESL Pro League Season 19, 3DMAX played at A1 Gaming League Season 8, where they finished in the Top 2.

At the ESL Pro League Season 19 3DMAX debuted as an outsider in a match against sAw, but showed class and won a tough series with extra rounds in each of the two maps. And then there was a match against Fnatic, where 3DMAX made a mini-sensation by beating the "orange" with a score of 2-0, and they beat them very confidently, giving 15 rounds in two maps.

At the ESL Pro League Season 19 3DMAX were quite confident in the play-offs of the championship. The only defeat in the group stage was against Astralis in the match for seeding for the play-offs. However, in the play-offs 3DMax song did not play long: defeat against G2 and TOP-12 in the end.

During the season 3DMax had other attempts to make a name for themselves at the Tier-S tournaments. For example, they played at the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2024, where they were ranked in the top-24, but were beaten 1-2 by Heroic. They tried their luck again at ESL Pro League Season 20, but this time the result was worse than at ESL Pro League S19 - TOP-20.

3DMax's performance was much better at lower ranked tournaments. For example, 3DMax were the champions of YaLLa Compass Summer 2024 and ranked in the top 3 at Thunderpick World Championship 2024 and ESL Challenger League Season 48: Europe.

3DMAX Mappool

3DMAX's top 1 map 3DMAX in the last 3 months is Mirage. L4O has a mind-blowing 92% win rate with 13 games played.

Played also on Inferno, where they won 5 matches out of 7 games. In plus winrate and Nuke, where with 5 matches and 3 wins.

The most not favoured card for 3DMAX would be Vertigo. There they have 6 maps and only 1 win.

History of head-to-head meetings 3DMax - Team SoloMid

Previously, the teams have not played each other twice during the 2024 season. They exchanged "courtesies" by taking a map from each other.

Predicted result of Team SoloMid vs 3DMax at PW Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B

In this match, I would expect an even game. However, given the Bo1 format of the match, anyone can win here. I prefer 3DMax, who during the season showed a good game at several major tournaments, such as ESL Pro League.

Bottom line: 3DMax wins.
