Match Prediction: 9INE - Aurora | Counter-Strike (CS2)
CCT South Europe Series #39INE and Aurora will meet in the CCT South Europe Series 3 semi-finals. Remarkably, both teams were invited just in time for the championship play-offs, so the selection is small.
And both teams are reasonably well prepared, with good chances of winning. But if the Poles are quite unstable, Aurora now seems to be a fairly consistent team, which has a bit more options in the series.
So here I would look out for a win for the Aurora team, which in my understanding has the necessary flexibility and is quicker to adjust to the situation than the opponent.
Form 9INE
The 23rd ranked team of the world has just reached the semi-finals of the European Development Championship 7, where they only lost to a questionable Polish 500.
At the same time, the Polish squad got off to a great start at the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 where they made the play-offs, and also won the RES Western European Masters Spring 2023 to qualify for BLAST.
As for CCT South Europe Series 3 playoff appearances, 9INE managed to outplay 00PROSPECTS and ALTERNATE aTTaX. Still, there is a feeling that the team got too easy a net.

Forecast for the match 9INE - Aurora
It seems to me that even statistically equal cards will go in favor of the Russian team. All the same, Aurora is a little more stable over the distance, despite the winning streak of the Poles in eight matches.
Moreover, 9INE fails quite often in equal matches, as it happened quite recently in games against EYEBALLERS and 500. So in this case I would recommend betting on an Aurora win.
