Prediction on match CS2 forZe - Young Ninjas

forZe and Young Ninjas will meet in the first round of the CCT West Europe Series #1 playoffs. The winner of the match will go to the quarterfinals, where they will meet with someone from the Sprout-iNation pair.

There is some intrigue here, as the Swedish team has reached a good condition and got several good victories in a row. However, forZe plays at a different level, and the team is unlikely to want to embarrass themselves like that.

In general, I don’t see more than one card from Young Ninjas. Therefore, here I would take a closer look at the logical victory of the Russian team.

forZe form

The 27th world ranked team recently played in the CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1, where quite unexpectedly they were left without a playoff after losses to the Bad News Eagles and Eternal Fire.

Moreover, the Russian team gave a terrible stretch, since at the same time they almost flew out of the closed qualifier for the RMR tournament. And yet, forZe managed to solve the problem, having obtained three victories in a row and received a ticket to Copenhagen.

It is clear that the guys are in bad shape. However, in fact, even so, forZe has enough chances to win.

forZe latest results:

• Lost to JANO with a score of 8:16.
• Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over ECSTATIC with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Illuminar with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over 500 with a score of 2:1.

Best forZe cards:

• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 67% of wins.
• Mirage - 64% of wins.
• Anubis - 60% of wins.
• Inferno - 53% of wins.

Let's not forget that the Russian team traditionally refuses the Vertigo card.

Young Ninja uniform

The 81st team of the world ranking played confidently in the main stage of CCT West Europe Series 1, where they got three wins. At the same time, the Swedish team managed to qualify for MistGames Heroes of Lofoten 2023, having outplayed their fellow soldiers from the youth leagues.

In addition, Young Ninjas is still afloat in the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023, where Apeks has recently proved to be stronger. In general, the team found its form, but there were practically no opponents at the distance.

Young Ninjas latest results:

• Defeat from HAVU with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over UNGENTIUM with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Into the Breach with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over EYEBALLERS with a score of 2:1.

Best Young Ninjas cards:

• Vertigo - 88% of wins.
• Mirage - 67% of wins.
• Overpass - 60% of wins.
• Ancient - 50% win rate.

In turn, the Swedish team does not play on the Anubis map.

Prediction for forZe vs Young Ninjas

I wonder what the Swedes will come up with, since they will not be able to play on their favorite Vertigo map. However, in general, Young Ninjas are unlikely to catch on to victory more often, since in an optimal mood the opponent should close the series without any problems. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the forZe team.
