Match Prediction: Entropiq - Team K23 | Counter-Strike (CS2)
Malta Vibes Knockout Series #1Entropiq and K23 will play derby within the 1/8 finals of Malta Vibes Knockout Series 1. After the international break, K23 looks very strong, although it hasn't met any serious rivals yet. Well, Entropiq, preparing for the start of ESL Pro League Season 14, decided to accelerate at a lower level in the tournament.
Entropiq Form
The 17th team in the world rankings did not manage to be remembered before the break, having failed in the Pinnacle Cup II and Elisa Invitational Summer 2021. However, no one doubts that these guys have potential. Suffice it to recall what Entropiq did in the spring, tearing everyone apart. And it seems to me that after a month of rest, the team will start to gain momentum again.

Form K23
The 30th World Ranked Team finished fourth at StarLadder CIS RMR 2021, making a big leap in terms of performance. On such a note, the team went to rest, clearly working out plans for the future. As a result, K23 returned abruptly, having successfully started in the Malta Vibes Knockout Series 1. And even though the opponents were not the strongest, the fact speaks for itself.

Forecast for the match Entropiq - K23
The odds of the collectives are equal, despite the bias of the bookmakers who consider Entropiq to be the favorite. And the intrigue lies in the fact that K23 can quietly utter a cry of Ancient and lead the story in the series. However, it is not worth canceling the superiority factor of Entropiq, so the team will most likely take their map (Overpass or Nuke). Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Card Total.
