Match Prediction: sAw - HEET | Counter-Strike (CS2)
BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR Last Chance QualifierSAW and HEET will meet at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR Last Chance Qualifier, where they will compete for two tickets to the upcoming RMR tournaments.
The selection system is complex and tied to Buchholz's scoring, so there's more to look at. In any case, the teams only need a victory, so the battle will be solid.
Looking at both teams, the Portuguese are in decline, while HEET has managed to lose three chances to get into the RMR tournament, having suffered three defeats in a row.
However, here the French can catch on to the map, especially since SAW has a difficult game.
SAW form
The 20th team of the world ranking was able to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 17, and also made it to the semi-finals of CCT South Europe Series 2. But all this was in January, as SAW went downhill and began to fail with enviable regularity.
As for the performances at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR Closed Qualifier A, here SAW beat B8 Esports and Mixfits, but at the same time lost more or less key matches. The last shot was a defeat from Viperio, which is generally funny.

Let's not forget that the Portuguese team continues to refuse the Mirage map.

The 54th team in the world rankings went through a major restructuring in January, effectively changing 60% of its roster. At the same time, the French team managed to visit the closed qualifiers for IEM Rio 2023, where they even beat Bad News Eagles.
If we talk about the performances at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR Closed Qualifier B, here HEET started with two cool victories over forZe and OG. However, further the team managed to suffer three defeats with a score of 1:2, for which they got here.

SAW vs HEET meeting statistics
During the last season, the teams held two meetings:
- HEET's victory in the ESL Challenger League Season 40 Europe with a score of 2:1.
- SAW victory at ESL Challenger League Season 41 Europe with a score of 2:0.
However, then the French played in a different composition.
Prediction for the match SAW — HEET
It is worth saying that HEET is fighting for its chances, but the guys are always missing something. In turn, the Portuguese team noticeably slowed down, and in January SAW looked much brighter. There is also intrigue here, since the French will definitely look for their chances, especially since they have good chances to catch on Inferno. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the HEET team.
