In one of the matches of the 3rd round of the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, forZe and ECSTATIC will meet. Who will win the first victory?
forZe
If forZe flies past the Major, she will have only herself to blame. In the first match, she took the first side of the Inferno card from Sprout with a score of 11-4, playing for the attack, and then gave up the second half, after which she lost 2-4 in overtime. It was not possible to maintain the advantage after the first half and in the second round, in which the opponents were the 1win team (14-16 at Nyuk). Now the shooters from forZe need to win three victories in a row to make their way to the Major.
ECSTATIC
The five from ECSTATIC also faced the same conditions. If the defeat in the first round from G2 Esports was expected, although it turned out to be as large as possible (0-16 on Ancient), then a misfire in the battle with B8 could be key in the current qualification. The defeat turned out to be very insulting, because the Danish team started for the side of the attack on Nyke and lost 2-13, but took the second half with a mirror score, and then lost in overtime (1-4).
Forecast
The guys from forZe are the favorites, but for the guys from ECSTATIC, this is also a very important match, in which defeat is unacceptable. I think that we can very well see three maps here.
