Match Prediction: 9z - Meta Gaming Brasil | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 18: South American Qualifier9z and Meta meet in the quarter-finals of the ESL Pro League Season 18: South American Qualifier. This game will still be in BO1 format, but it won't make much difference.
It is clear that the Latin American team is not the favourite to qualify, but in this match, 9z must show their worth and make the difference.
What's more, Meta are not in fact a team from which you can expect a sensation. And in terms of play, the Brazilians are way behind everyone else in the game. So here I would lean on the 9z team to win.

Prediction for the match 9z - Meta
It is difficult to estimate how the Brazilians will play with such an opponent. Yes, Meta is far from the last team at their level, but 9z is a completely different universe.
