Match Prediction: ECSTATIC - paiN Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)

ECSTATIC and paiN Gaming will meet in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. In this case, the loser will leave the championship, while the winner will play for a ticket to the play-offs tomorrow, playing against FORZE or 9z.

I don't know how to comment on the defeats of both teams, but now the Brazilian team is clearly in a hole as the recent results of paiN Gaming leave much to be desired.

The Danes, on the other hand, have been tearing up big-name teams online recently, so it's definitely worth taking a closer look. And the guys are talented in their own right. Therefore I would rely on ECSTATIC to win here.

Form ECSTATIC

The 30th ranked team of the world played well at ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 where they managed to reach the semifinals where they were defeated by the future champion Movistar Riders.

The Danish side then took part in the CCT 2023 Online Finals 1 where they managed to reach the final but also failed in the play-offs of ESEA Advanced Season 45 Europe.

ECSTATIC, on the other hand, were unsuccessful in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 and just before that they took on FORZE on the Overpass card. And this despite the fact that the team led before the change of sides with a score of 10-5.

Recent ECSTATIC results:

• 2-0 win over FORZE.
• Victory over L&G 2-0.
• A 0-2 defeat at the hands of FORZE.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of PROSPECTS.
• 12-16 defeat at the hands of FORZE.

ECSTATIC's best scores:

• Nuke - 73% wins.
• Ancient - 70% wins.
• Anubis - 64% wins.
• Vertigo - 56% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.

It is worth recalling that the Danish team has not featured on the Mirage map for a long time.

Form of paiN Gaming

The 23rd ranked team in the world failed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage as they failed to cope with FaZe Clan, Apeks and Monte.

The Brazilian team then returned to their region, where they failed to qualify for Gamers8 2023 and the play-offs of ESL Challenger League Season 45 North America, finishing only fourth.

Here, too, paiN Gaming's play failed at the Long Song of the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, as the Brazilians displayed a dead attack on Nuke against 9z.

Latest results from paiN Gaming:

• A 2-0 win over Wildcard.
• A 1-2 loss to ATK.
• 16-6 win over FLUFFY AIMERS.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of ATK.
• 7-16 defeat at the hands of 9z.

Top scores for paiN Gaming:

• Nuke - 76% wins.
• Vertigo - 73% wins.
• Anubis - 68% wins.
• Mirage - 65% wins.

In turn, the Brazilian team continues to deny Overpass.

The teams have not met before.

ECSTATIC - paiN Gaming match prediction

The impression is that the Brazilian team has a mental rest, and the game shows a clear decline. Against this backdrop, ECSTATIC can cause problems for their opponent, the more so because the team has a good frame of mind.

Moreover, most recently the Danes defeated not bad opponents, including Movistar Riders, BIG and others. So paiN Gaming could be next in the collection.

So in this case I would recommend betting on ECSTATIC to win.
