The 36th ranked team in the world had a disappointing performance in the play-offs of ESL Challenger League Season 45 North America, where they failed to cope with EG Black and ATK, taking the final 5-6th place.

Prediction for the match Nouns Esports - Rocket
Despite the successful Long Corner Rocket in the Thunderpick World Championship 2023 North America Series 1, the team is clearly not yet established at this level.
In turn, Nouns Esports shows a stable game and even takes part in LAN tournaments. It is clear that the team is not doing well there, but they are gaining some experience.
Therefore, in this case I would recommend betting on a 2-0 win for Nouns Esports.
