Monte and Fluxo will meet in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they will play for the right not to fall even lower, finding themselves one step away from relegation.
Perhaps, in this case, there is no need to explain anything, as everyone has seen the Long Corner of the Brazilian squad without words. To put it bluntly, Fluxo completely underperformed, becoming an excuse for many "spades".
In turn, the Ukrainians fought with FaZe Clan, but at the most important moment the guys did not have enough experience. Here the situation is different, and the reserve is really big. So here I would rely on the Monte team`s victory.
Form Monte
The 22nd ranked team in the world surprised strongly in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where in spite of the defeat of Heroic and Vitality, it still performed much stronger than its rivals.
After returning online, the Ukrainian squad claimed second place in the CCT Central Europe Series 6, and also won the CCT West Europe Series 3, along the way getting into the closed qualification for the ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.
Speaking of Long Corner at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, Monte lacked experience and fresh ideas as the team effectively handed victory to FaZe Clan.
Monte's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over HAVU.
- 2-0 win over Apeks.
- 16-10 win over allStars.

At the same time the Ukrainian team continues to give up Inferno.
Fluxo form
The 38th ranked team in the world looked good in their BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, where they managed to get three wins, but also crushed paiN Gaming.
Fluxo went on to fail in a close qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, and were also limited to the quarterfinals of the regional CCT South America Series 6.
The Brazilian side looked all too sad at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and suffered a crushing and embarrassing defeat at the hands of their compatriots, paiN Gaming.
Fluxo's latest results:

- 1-2 defeat at the hands of 00NATION.
- 2-1 win over the RED Canids.
- 0-2 defeat to Paquetá Gaming.
- 2-16 defeat to paiN Gaming.
Fluxo's best scores:
- Vertigo - 80% wins.
- Nuke - 78% wins.
- Mirage - 60% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Inferno - 56% wins.
In turn, the Brazilian team has not appeared on the Anubis card for a long time.

The teams have not met before.
Monte - Fluxo forecast
I doubt that the Brazilian team suddenly decide to wake up and make a sensation. And in terms of play, Monte looks a head stronger, even if their overall structure is irrational.
Moreover, with such a Long Sogner, Fluxo is in danger of completely disappointing himself, while the choice of cards really leaves a lot to be desired (the stats from North America and Brazil are not indicative).
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Monte team win.
