In the semi-finals of the ESEA Advanced Season 41 Europe playoff stage, teams such as BLUEJAYS and forZe will compete against each other on July 7. Experts from bookmakers point out forZe as the clear favorite of the confrontation, but is it really so? I propose to turn to the statistical indicators and see how the teams have performed lately and take stock of whether it is worth betting on forZe to win or you can get by with some alternative.
BLUEJAYS uniform
Now BLUEJAYS are on the 45th place in the list of the best CS:GO teams according to HLTV. In the last two matches played, the team was defeated, but the roster showed a good performance at ESEA Advanced Season 41 Europe. As part of the Esport Tour 2022 Series 2, BLUEJAYS recently lost against B8 Esports and EC Kyivs, but before that they beat Tricked. As for ESEA Advanced Season 41 Europe itself, where the team is serious, the team beat MASONIC, Apeks, BIG Academy and even EC Kyiv on its way to the finals, which it lost as part of Esport Tour 2022 Series 2. BLUEJAYS has enough cards pool not bad. They perform well on Dust 2 and Mirage, having a win rate of 76.5% and 73.1% respectively. They do a little worse, but still manage to play on Vertigo, where the win rate is 64.3%. In other maps, everything leaves much to be desired.

forZe game form
The forZe team looks more advantageous compared to their opponents. The team is on the 19th line in the top from HLTV. In the last matches, the team, like BLUEJAYS, won four matches in a row. Tricked Esport, Wolsung, VP.Prodigy and ECLOT could not resist them. Unlike BLUEJAYS, forZe did not take part in any other events and did not play a single official match in July, which in theory could relax the players a little. With forZe cards, everything is not as clear as we would like. The team has an excellent performance on Dust 2, where the win rate is 83.3%. The team also performs well on Nuke, where the win rate is 66.7%. Apart from these two maps, the rest of forZe don't play very well.

Conclusion
ForZe look good in terms of the fact that they are higher in the rankings and have not been defeated in recent matches. In addition, the team plays well on Dust 2 and this map is the best for the Russians. The team has 83.3% win rate there. The BLUEJAYS, for their part, have had more practice playing on the professional stage lately, although the experience has not been the most positive. In addition, BLUEJAYS Dust 2 also has the best map. At the same time, they play very well on Mirage, where forZe is frankly inferior. I like their win rate on maps more than forZe and the Macedonians impress more due to the fact that they do not stop practicing and participate not only in ESEA Advanced Europe, but also in other championships. When they have the task of reaching the grand final, I think it will not be unattainable for them. Experts from bookmakers estimate the chances of forZe winning this fight at approximately ~66%, which is equivalent to a factor of 1.40. I believe that BLUEJAYS can win, but for a more safe bet, I still recommend the Handicap +1.5 cards on BLUEJAYS with odds of 1.60.
Final bet: Handicap +1.5 BLUEJAYS cards at odds of 1.60
