Prédiction de match: SINNERS Esports - 9INE {{Counter-Strike (CS2)

Welcome back to EGamersWorld.

Back to the professional Counter-Strike 2 scene with the ESL Challenger Season 46 TIR-2 tournament. Although the championship is mostly local, it doesn't mean that it is completely passable.

At ESL Challenger Season 46 teams are playing for a very solid prize, namely the tickets to ESL Pro League Season 19. There are 2 such places, and initially there were plenty of applicants. However, now we are at the play-offs stage, where the most resilient are left. Among them are 9INE and Sinners Esports.

Let's talk about the match of the top set of play-offs. The winner of the pair 9INE - Sinners will move on, where in the next round will play against Spirit. We'll try to figure out who it will be.

Let's go.

Form 9INE

Starting our in-depth match analysis, let's focus on scrutinizing 9INE's current form. Stepping into this encounter, they find themselves facing the top-ranked team, carrying odds for victory at approximately 1.6. This scenario introduces an interesting dynamic for those contemplating a CSGO gamble, as they assess the potential outcomes in this high-stakes showdown.

9INE had a very fruitful first half of the year, which allowed the Polish club to climb into the top 20 of the best teams in the world. However, the lion's share of the events played were TIR-2 events.

9INE managed to get a number of victories at events like OMEN WGR Challenge 2023, GAM3RS_X Polish Clash and other local tournaments. However, the main achievements came in the spring of this year.

In April, 9INE triumphed at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: Europe RMR B, which opened the way to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. The Major itself ended for the Poles in the top 16.

Before the IEM Cologne 2023 Long Circuit, 9INE picked up another important win. They qualified for the big-budget Gamers8 by beating SAW in last chance qualification.

• 9INE roster: Goofy, KEi, Kylar, mynio, hades.

9INE is one of the most stable Play-In IEM Cologne teams. The club has been playing in such a roster for half a year already.

The first Play-In IEM Cologne 2023 opponent for 9INE was OG. The Poles won with a score of 19-17.

Then there was a loss from Fnatic (0-2), and then a minimal sensation in the form of a victory over Liquid in the match for the exit to the group stage. Then 9INE dealt with the North American club with a score of 2-1.

In the first match of the play-offs, 9INE were up against ENCE, but came up a little short. The Finns turned the game around on the decisive Mirage and sent 9INE to the bottom of the group stage.

The team finished their performance at IEM Cologne 2023 with a match against Cloud9. The Poles failed to defeat the more prestigious opponent, and lost with a score of 1-2 and left the championship.

Before the Long Cologne ESL Pro League Season 18, the team visited Thunderpick World Championship 2023 and Gamers8. Both tournaments ended for 9INE at the top 16.

At EPL Season 18, the team played their first match against Complexity. The Americans put up a solid fight and pulled out a win, which was a mini sensation considering the Poles' play in recent months.

In the previous match 9INE played against Eternal Fire. The Turks were a few goals stronger than the Poles and closed the series 2-0 without any problems.

ESL Pro League Season 18 9INE finished ignominiously. They were eliminated by Lynn Vision at the TOP-32 stage, which is a very difficult result to call.

Next up was the European BLAST Showdown, where 9INE finished in the top 8. They also played at the same CCT North Europe Series #8, where they managed to get to the TOP-4, but were knocked out by Spirit.

There was also Roobet Cup 2023, where the Poles also had bad luck. 9INE were defeated in the group stage, finishing in TOP-9-12.

In the play-offs of ESL Challenger League Season 46, 9INE made it to the play-offs thanks to their strong performance in the first stage of the group stage and then in the so-called High Group. In the last basket they lost their only match against Looking4Org, which led them to the first round of the upper grid.

Mappool 9INE.

9INE's best map is Vertigo. There the Poles have won 14 matches with only 4 losses.

Next are Mirage (66% wins in 6 games), Anubis (58% wins in 12 maps) and Nuke (57% winrate in 7 matches).

The worst maps for 9INE are Ancient with 36% win rate in 7 matches and Inferno, where the Poles have not won a single match in 3 maps.

Sinners Esports Form

Let's continue with the analysis of Sinners Esports form. In this match the team is playing as the number two, and the odds for a win are around 2.1.

The Czechs are having a very active year. I wouldn't be lying if I said that they play absolutely everywhere they can. This includes various qualifiers, B-Tier tournaments and local andVent tournaments.

The most successful period can be called the first half of the year, namely the period between March and May. SINNERS earned two championships and two top-4 finishes: they won the Tipsport Cup Prague Spring 2023: Online Stage and Tipsport Cup Bratislava 2023: Online Stage, the top 2 at the Tripsport Cup Prague Spring 2023 and the top 4 of CCT Central Europe Series #6. As you can see, almost all local Czech championships, but as they say, what's rich.

The Czechs continued to be active, but the results were more modest. At more famous championships like CCT series tournaments they were mostly in the "middle".

• SINNERS line-up: beastik, ZEDKO, SHOCK, oskar, KWERTZZ .

Before participating in ESL Challenger Season 46, SINNERS played at Majstrovstva SR 2023, Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023: Online Stage and Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023, as well as CCT North Europe Series #8. The first three events did well: top-4 and even silver at Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023, but CCT North America Europe Series #8 was top-16.

ESL Challenger Season 46 is going well for SINNERS so far. They finished in the Top 2 of their group, Ledge only to APEKS.

Next, getting into the High Group, things went a bit off track. In the first match Ledge played 9INE, and then fell into the net of Loseers. There, by the way, they managed to beat Monte, which guaranteed an exit to the upper part of the play-offs.

Map SINNERS

The strongest SINNERS team is Anubis. There they have 13 wins and 5 losses. Next is Ancient with 11 wins in 17 matches. The rest of the maps have minus winnings.

Overpass (47% wins), Mirage (42% wins), Inferno (30% wins), Vertigo (28% wins), Nuke (0% wins).

Predicted result of 9INE vs Sinners Esports at ESL Challenger Season 46

In this match I expect a roughly even game. Even despite the 0-2 in the previous match, the teams still look pretty equal. I'm leaning towards a full-fledged Bo3, but 9INE still has a better chance due to more experience against top teams.

Bottom line: total +2.5.
