ECSTATIC and B8 will come face to face in the second round of the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A. Who will be stronger?
ECSTATIC
The first round match ended in a nightmare for the guys from ECSTATIC, who had a G2 Esports team in their rivals. The battle took place on the Ancient map, where NiKo and the company got down to business from the first round, and then began to build up the advantage. As a result, the Danish five shot a total of 37 frags, failing to take a single round. At the same time, it should be noted that the arrows from ECSTATIC could bring exactly 5 rounds in their favor, but in situations 2 in 2 or 2 in 1 they were lost, getting bullets in the head.
B8
The Ukrainian B8 team also started the qualifying stage with a meeting with a strong opponent, but was able to perform better, taking six rounds from Cloud9. After the bans, the choice fell on Ancient. "Clouds" have already habitually started for the side of the attack, managing to take nine rounds, and then finished off the opponent, winning 7-0 for defense. Periodically, the positive moments in the game of the guys from B8 slipped through, but against the background of the Hobbit and the company, they looked pale.
Forecast
ECSTATIC is the favorite, but B8 is hardly much inferior, but it may well give battle and win at least 11 rounds.
