Match Prediction: OG - 00 Nation | Counter-Strike (CS2)
ESL Pro League Season 17OG and 00NATION will meet in the opening quarterfinals of the top group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17. Despite the odds, I would give some odds to the Brazilian squad.
Yes, 00NATION will also be playing with a replacement in this case, but the loss of nexa to OG is quite significant, and has already affected the density of matches in the recent qualifiers for the RMR tournament.
All in all, the situation is moot, as given the replacements in both teams, it could be a level playing field and a return to previous positions. However, even so, the Brazilians seem mature enough to try their luck against a very unstable opponent.
Therefore, in this case, I would take a closer look at the card from the 00NATION team, which in places can cling to the game and show some good things. For my part, I'm not too sure about OG because niko, the Danish one, isn't very good at all.
OG's form
The eighth ranked team in the world has shown a terrible game in the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, despite two wins over Team Liquid in the group. However, already in the Play-In, the European team was already deflated, losing to Astralis.
After that OG left for IEM Katowice 2023, where they reached the group stage without much trouble. However, new problems started here that left the team with only one victory over MOUZ.
From the latter, after the loss of their captain, the team took part in the closed qualification for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR, where they even suffered one defeat, along the way showing far from the most confident game.
Recent OG results:
- A 0-2 loss to the Outsiders.
- 19-17 victory over JANO.
- 10-16 defeat of HEET.
- 16-13 win over Anonymo Esports.
- A 2-0 win over Aurora Gaming.
Best OG cards:
- Anubis - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Mirage - 60% wins.
- Ancient - 50% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the European team still does not risk playing the Nuke card.
Form 00NATION
The 47th ranked team in the world finished second in the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference South America, where they managed to lose to Imperial Esports.
However, the Brazilian squad went on to play poorly in a close qualification for IEM Rio 2023, where they actually lost to all direct competitors Fluxo and 9z.
Of the latter, 00NATION suffered a ticket to the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 America RMR, where it managed to climb out of a stalemate after starting losses. However, the team lost TACO before the start of the new championship, without which it will be much more difficult.
Latest results from 00NATION:
- A 17-19 defeat to Paquetá Gaming.
- 2-0 win over ARCTIC.
- Beat INTZ 2-0.
- Beat O PLANO 2-1.
- Beat 9z 2-0.
Top 00NATION cards:
- Vertigo - 75% wins.
- Ancient - 71% wins.
- Overpass - 71% wins.
- Mirage - 60% wins.
- Inferno - 57% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
In turn, the Brazilian team does not play on the Anubis card.

Forecast of the match OG - 00NATION
An interesting encounter, which differs from all the others by the presence of a small, but still intrigue. For me personally, 00NATION has some chances to surprise.
First of all, OG has a small selection of cards where the team is really capable of playing number one. Second, the loss of the captain had a big impact on the play of the team, which failed to qualify for the RMR tournament.
Moreover, the Brazilians can surprise themselves, especially since with their replacement they have lost much less in terms of shooting, and coldzera will just as easily take on the role of IGL.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to take a risk and bet on the Forum on the cards (+1,5) for the 00NATION team.
