Bad News Eagles will face 00 Nation in the 1st round Rio Major: Challangers Stage. We consider the form of the teams and give a forecast.
Bad News Eagles
The team from Kosovo did not pass the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR very steadily, having suffered two defeats with three victories, but was able to get a ticket to the main tournament of the discipline, where they will try to go as far as possible. Before the start of the Major Bad News Eagles took part in two tournaments. At the ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe took the fourth place, and within the framework of the Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 took the 5th-8th places.
00 Nation
The qualifying stage of the IEM Road to Rio 2022 began for 00 Nation with a defeat by 9z Team with a score of 16-19, and the next three matches were won, as a result of which it was possible to reach the Major. If the confrontation with Complexity turned out to be very tense, and the guys from 00 Nation managed to win 2-1 in it, then before that the victories turned out to be simpler - 16:10 over Isurus and 16:11 over Imperial.
Forecast
00 Nation has passed the qualifying stage more smoothly, and has an advantage in individual terms, so I suggest betting on its success in the debut round.
