Match Prediction: forZe - Bad News Eagles | CS2 (CS:GO)
BetBoom Playlist. UrbanisticFORZE and Bad News Eagles will meet in the first round of the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 playoffs. It is known that the winner of this match will play in the quarterfinals against Virtus.pro (yes, that's what it's called now).
All in all, a very interesting encounter as I wouldn't expect any further success from the Russian squad. Bad News Eagles, who failed in a few games and then completely fell off the radar, also do not inspire me to trust them.
Therefore, the most logical option here would be to select three cards. Firstly, this has happened to the teams more than once. Secondly, there are weaknesses that the teams will appeal to.
FORZE uniforms
The 21st world ranked team sensationally won Group D at ESL Pro League Season 17, beating Natus Vincere, Team Spirit and ENCE. And yet in the play-offs, the Russian team failed to cope with FaZe Clan, although they tried very hard.
Next, FORZE managed to drop out of ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe. In the last match the team disgracefully lost to Monte, but thankfully those guys won the championship.
As for the performances at the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, here the team managed to lose to Falcons, but still managed to get three wins, making it to the playoffs.
FORZE's latest results:
- A 2-1 win over Sangal.
- 2-0 win over ENCE.
- 1WIN beat Sangal 1-2.
- Defeat at the hands of the FaZe Clan, 1-2.
- 0-2 defeat by Monte.
FORZE's best cards:
- Ancient - 69% wins.
- Nuke - 62% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Anubis - 54% wins.
- Inferno - 52% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
It should be remembered that the Russian squad have traditionally refused to play the Vertigo card.
Bad News Eagles form
The 22nd ranked team in the world managed to reach the finals of CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1 and CCT South Europe Series 3 where they lost to Eternal Fire and Aurora Gaming respectively.
Next up, the Kosovar team fell to RES Eastern European Masters Spring 2023, where they managed to suffer two defeats, including defeat to Cloud9 in the semi-finals.
Nevertheless, Bad News Eagles managed to qualify for the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, but at the same time they crashed out of ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe, losing to SAW.

In the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1, Bad News Eagles won 2-1.
FORZE vs Bad News Eagles preview
I don't think much has changed since last time. Still, the teams are worth each other in terms of their instability and overall capabilities. Yes, FORZE recently had a shot at the ESL Pro League Season 17, but then the guys fell apart again.
In turn, Bad News Eagles also had problems, who managed to lose a few matches and then disappeared from the radar for a fortnight. Still, Kosovars can surprise, especially as I know their opponent.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on Cards 2.5 more.
