Prédiction de match: Aurora - forZe {{Counter-Strike (CS2)

Aurora and FORZE will play in the fifth round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they will play for one of the last tickets to the majors. However, the loser will not yet lose their chances as they will go on to the extra stage.

The International is a very heated encounter as KENSi and Norwi, at the very least, are keen to meet their former club. On the other hand, the teams here are close in style, trying to combine aggression and strict default.

Still, I wouldn't rely on Aurora, who had barely beaten Eternal Fire the day before. Yes, FORZE also had a bad game against Monte, but there they were trivially outgunned.

So here I would rely on the victory of FORZE, which had already beaten Aurora in March, albeit online.

Aurora's form

The 39th ranked team in the world managed to fail at the RES Eastern European Masters Spring 2023 and the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, which made them doubt their abilities.

However, at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, the Russian team showed unbelievable character, beating Team Spirit and nearly knocking off Heroic.

Moreover, Aurora had a close defeat at the hands of G2 Esports, while the day before the team managed to outplay Eternal Fire and stay afloat. On the other hand, all the matches were close, so it will break sooner or later.

Aurora's latest results:

• A 0-2 loss to Spirit Academy.
• Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 16-13.
• Defeat to Heroic by a score of 14-16.
• 14-16 defeat to G2 Esports.
• 2-1 win over Eternal Fire.

Aurora's best scores:

• Ancient - 88% wins.
• Nuke - 85% wins.
• Inferno - 71% wins.
• Mirage - 65% wins.
• Anubis - 54% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Russian team is not shown on the Vertigo map.

FORZE uniforms

The fourteenth team of the world ranking has shown a good game in ESL Pro League Season 17 where they won the group and even played with FaZe Clan in the quarterfinals.

Immediately after that, the Russian team made it to the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 final, with victories over Bad News Eagles, Virtus.pro and MOUZ on their way to defeat Cloud9.

As for the performances at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, here FORZE managed to lose to Cloud9 and Monte, but also shut out ENCE and Ninjas in Pyjamas.

FORZE's latest results:

• A 0-2 defeat to Cloud9.
• Defeat to Cloud9 by a score of 5-16.
• A 16-14 win over ENCE.
• A 16-12 win over Ninjas in Pyjamas.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of Monte.

• Ancient - 71% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Nuke - 62% wins.
• Anubis - 56% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

In turn, the FORZE team has also given up Vertigo.

Meeting statistics Aurora - FORZE

The two teams have met once this season - FORZE won 2-0 in the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 indoor qualifier.

Forecast for Aurora vs FORZE

Last time the teams played Anubis and Inferno, which is likely to show up this time as well. However, it seems to me that in terms of experience Aurora will be very difficult, all the more so in a derby it is doubly difficult.

Yes, the day before FORZE was very disappointing, first of all, with its shooting. But I personally did not notice any big failures. All the more, with Aurora everything is very close and shaky.

So in this case I would recommend to bet on FORZE team to win.
