Movistar Riders and ex-Copenhagen Flames will meet in the quarter-finals of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023. As usual, don't look to the Spanish squad, who are very bad.
In turn, ex-Copenhagen Flames clearly set up for this championship, otherwise it is difficult to explain such a jump from the Danes in the first round. And in fact, The International squad is heresher than their opponent, who manage to lose to HAVU.
In general, there is absolutely nothing to say about Movistar Riders, and objectively the Spaniards are not memorable. So here I would rely on the victory of the ex-Copenhagen Flames team.
Movistar Riders uniforms
The 28th ranked team in the world managed to fail in the closed qualification to ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 and then failed to break through to the play-offs of BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023.
What's more, the Spanish squad once again showed nothing in CCT 2023 Online Finals 1 as well, where they registered just one win over Corinthians Esports to quickly go further.
Then Movistar Riders decided to take the inevitability into the play-offs of CCT West Europe Series 4, for which they received an instant defeat from HAVU. In general, the team is quite useless, so there's no point in talking about it.

The shape of ex-Copenhagen Flames
The 47th ranked team in the world did not show anything at the BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023 and CCT 2023 Online Finals 1 from where it very quickly went to conquer the next championships.
The Danish side then managed to make it through to the play-offs of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023, and also played well in the first round, confidently beating ECLOT.
On the other hand, ex-Copenhagen Flames also managed to distinguish themselves by dropping out of CCT North Europe Series 5, as they unexpectedly lost to Endpoint, being limited to just one card.

Movistar Riders - ex-Copenhagen Flames meeting statistics
In the current season, the teams have played two meetings:
- Movistar Riders victory at the OMEN WGR Challenge 2023 with a score of 19-16.
- An ex-Copenhagen Flames win at the OMEN WGR Challenge 2023 by a score of 2-1.
However, let's not forget that a lot has changed since then.
Movistar Riders vs ex-Copenhagen Flames
There is no point talking about the Spanish team if they are losing all their matches. And the ex-Copenhagen Flames are fully capable of shutting down their opponent, who is not even trying.
In general, even without looking at the cards, Movistar Riders don't have much of a chance, and the team are probably aware of their position. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the ex-Copenhagen Flames team.
