Match Prediction: forZe - Movistar Riders | CS2 (CS:GO)
BetBoom Playlist. FreedomFORZE and Movistar Riders will meet in the semi-finals of the upper Play-In stage at BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023. Again, there are big questions for the Spaniards as they lose almost every match online.
It's clear that FORZE too does not shine with stability, and in some places the team throws away matches that the team does not need. And yet, the Russian team can handle Movistar Riders, who are having a tough stretch.
The Spanish team is also not all that clear-cut, as was proven by their recent qualifying. So here I would place my bets on FORZE team's victory.
FORZE form
The 22nd ranked team in the world managed to fail at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they failed to cope with FaZe Clan and GamerLegion in the very end and were left without "legends".
After that, the Russian team managed to drop out of ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe, where for some reason they decided to lose to Sprout, showing a terrible game at the same time.
However, the day before, FORZE had a decent showing at the CCT 2023 Online Finals 1, where they took a very easy win over HAVU. Here's your guess as to what's overlapping.
FORZE's latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to FaZe Clan.
- Defeat at the hands of GamerLegion 0-2.
- 2-0 win over Endpoint.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Sprout.
- 2-0 win over HAVU.
FORZE's best scores:
- Ancient - 85% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
It is worth recalling that the Russian team have not played on Vertigo for a long time.
Movistar Riders uniforms
The 28th ranked team in the world has managed to become the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 champion recently with an unexpectedly strong performance in the LAN tournament.
However, the Spanish side then slipped smoothly back to square one, failing to qualify for Gamers8 2023 and dropping out of ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe.
Moreover, most recently Movistar Riders played in a close qualification for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, where they were quickly defeated by ECSTATIC and BIG without showing any fight.
Movistar Riders latest results:
- A 16-14 win over Illuminar Gaming.
- Defeat to Astralis with a score of 10-16.
- A 1-2 loss to B8 Esports.
- ECSTATIC 1-2 defeat.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of BIG.
Movistar Riders top scorers:
- Anubis - 88% wins.

In their turn, the Spanish team have consistently failed to beat Mirage.

FORZE - Movistar Riders preview
It's hard to expect a good game from the Spanish side, knowing that they are completely dead online. And it's gotten to the point where Movistar Riders are losing indiscriminately.
In turn, FORZE continues to be synonymous with instability, but the team is two heads stronger than their rivals. And the conditional Anubis peak should not be a problem for the team, which adds to the chances.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a FORZE team win.
