Prédiction sur le match CS2 9z - Sharks

9z and Sharks Esports will meet in the semi-finals of CCT South America Series 7, where they will be playing for the first trip to the grand final. I don't think the Brazilian squad will be able to give trouble to an opponent who is still at the level above.

Moreover, 9z are now trying to get back to the top of at least the regional scene, and the team has been winning a lot more often lately, showing a good game.

All in all, I have a hard time believing in Sharks Esports, who have been in the shadows for too long and have been rebuilding the roster all the time. So here I would settle for a logical win for the 9z team.

Form 9z

The 40th ranked team in the world has just recently won the CCT South America Series 5 and then managed to successfully qualify for IEM Dallas 2023.

However, the Latin American team failed to show anything at IEM Rio 2023, losing to FaZe Clan and fnatic. Still, 9z rehabilitated themselves by winning qualification for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.

As for the play-offs of CCT South America Series 7, here the team managed to defeat W7M Academy and Paquetá, once again showing a cool game against their region.

Latest results 9z:

• A 0-2 loss to MIBR.
• 2-1 win over Paquetá.
• Beat MIBR 2-1.
• Beat W7M Academy 2-0.
• 2-0 win over Paquetá.

Top 9z:

• Nuke - 88% wins.
• Mirage - 70% wins.
• Ancient - 70% wins.
• Inferno - 60% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.

It is worth recalling that the Latin American team has long given up on Vertigo.

Sharks Esports uniforms

The 85th ranked team of the world has failed in all the recent important qualifications and failed to qualify for IEM Dallas 2023 and ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.

Along the way, the Brazilian side won EPL World Series Americas Season 3 and TG Rush Autumn 2023, but were restricted to the semi-finals of CCT South America Series 6.

If we are talking about the current CCT South America Series 7, here Sharks Esports managed to defeat FURIA Academy and O PLANO, although both times were close.

Recent Sharks Esports results:

• A 2-1 win over O PLANO.
• A 2-0 win over ODDIK.
• A 2-0 win over Solid.
• Beat FURIA Academy 2-1.
• Beat O PLANO 2-1.

Sharks Esports top scorers:

• Ancient - 88% wins.
• Anubis - 80% wins.
• Vertigo - 62% wins.

In turn, the Brazilian team gives up maps Overpass.

Meeting statistics 9z - Sharks Esports

During the current season the teams have played one meeting - in the closed qualification to the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 American RMR the victory went to 9z (16:9).

Prediction for the match 9z - Sharks Esports

I do not see the point to look for factors in favor of Sharks Esports, because the team is objectively weaker. You can beat O PLANO and the academy as much as you like, but the Brazilians haven't shown anything on the field.

In turn, at their own level, the 9z are breaking up, and with each match the Latin Americans are getting tougher. So in this case I would recommend betting on 9z to win.
