Prédiction sur le match CS2 Cloud9 - Sprout

Cloud9 and Sprout will meet in the first round of the Brazy Party 2023 group stage. Despite a tight schedule and obvious fatigue, the Russian squad should have no chance of shutting down an opponent that is downright bad.

And Sprout have finally failed, never managing to get a grip on their capabilities. Now we got a mediocre team, which is much weaker than it was even a year ago.

So here I would settle for a logical victory for the Cloud9 team. And Cloud9 have all the chances to overlook Sprout and close out the series on a dry run.

Cloud9's form

The world's sixth ranked team failed in the main part of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they managed to lose to Monte, G2 Esports and ENCE.

In addition, despite beating B8 Esports and BIG in the extra stage of the last chance, Cloud9 Ledgee beat FaZe Clan and was left without a major in Paris.

Already after that, the Russian team played coolly in the group stage of IEM Rio 2023, dealing with MIBR, OG and FURIA, but in the semi-finals gave away victory to Vitality on a seemingly winnable second card.

Cloud9's latest results:

• A 0-2 defeat to FaZe Clan.
• Victory over MIBR by a score of 16-8.
• Defeated OG 2-0.
• Beat FURIA 2-1.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of Vitality.

Cloud9's best scores:

• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Vertigo - 74% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.
• Overpass - 60% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Russian squad continues to give up Nuke.

Sprout uniforms

The 50th ranked team of the world has failed in all recent championships, but still managed to find a captain by signing with AZR.

However, this did not help the team much in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where it marked only an embarrassing victory over Viperio, but at the same time was no competition.

As a result, Sprout kicked the Aussie, quickly admitting his mistake. In such a bloodless state, the team managed to make it to the ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe, but once again it didn't work out.

Sprout's latest results:

• A 12-16 defeat to Falcons.
• Defeat to Into the Breach by a score of 7-16.
• 2-1 win over Viperio.
• 0-2 defeat to Apeks.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of Sangal.

Sprout's best scores:

• Anubis - 50% wins.

In turn, the Danish-Romanian team is also not featured on the Nuke map.

Forecast for the match Cloud9 - Sprout

It is clear that the Russian team is tired and everything. However, Sprout are in terrible form, playing one match a week. In such a format Cloud9 makes no sense to stipulate for a tight schedule, as the opponents are very bad. And otherwise, the Danish-Romanian squad has been slumping for a long time. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Cloud9's 2-0 win.
