Maç Tahmini: sAw - Imperial Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

The group stage matches of ESL Pro League Season 19 continue. We have reached the match of skill.

In the lower grid match Imperial - sAw will be the first team to leave the tournament. We'll be looking at who that will be.

Let's see which of the teams will be stronger in this fight and who will be the winner in the race for the play-offs, and in the next round will play against the loser of the pair Fnatic - Vp.

Let's go.

Form Imperial

Let's open the match with an analysis of Imperial's form. In this match the Brazilians will play the first number one, and the odds for Imperial to win are at around 1.7.

The world's 16th team spent the first half of the year in various qualifying events and TIR-2 tournaments. Among the rare results is a victory at the local championship TG Masters Spring 2023. We can also mention the failure at EPL Season 17, where Imperial finished in the top 32.

Imperial's main Milestone was the performance at American RMR B, a qualifier for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. There, the Brazilian club finished in the top-12. Later there was a disappointing IEM Masters Rio 2023 and top-16 there.

• Imperial line-up: VINI, HEN1, felps. noway, decoy.

Before the Long Convergence of IEM Cologne 2023, Imperial won the ESL Brazil Premier League Season 14 and finished in the top 4 at BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023.

On top of that, Imperial have invited felps and HEN1 to join the team. The team's rookies lost their debut match at the club. They were run over by Monte, who won at Nuke 16-9. Next it was no better and as a result Cologne Brazilians took the top 20.

Later, they finished top-28 in ESL Pro League Season 18 and tried to make a name for themselves in other tournaments. They played at local championships like CBCS 2023 Season 1, Copa BetBoom, Game Arena and so on, but failed to achieve success there. Imperial looked better in the 2024 season.

So far, the main achievement of the year was winning the home PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: American RMR and making it to the Major itself. There, the team went 3-2 in the Opening Stage and then won the Legends Stage 1-3, which is pretty good.

They opened ESL Pro League Season 19 with a match against FaZe Clan, where they lost 0-2, but showed their teeth. In the middle set of ESL Pro League Season 19 Imperial played against Eternal Fire, where Ledgeila lost 1-2.

Imperial's Mapple

Imperial's best maps are Ancient and Inferno. The former has 3 wins in 4 maps and the latter has 5 out of 7.

Don't mind playing Overpass either, where the Brazilians have 57% wins in 7 matches. Can also play Nuke with Vertigo, where they have 50% wins at 6 and 4 mapx respectively.

Do not play on Anubis.

Form sAw.

We continue our match analysis with an analysis of sAw's form. In this match the main upset of Group A will be played at number two with odds to win at around 1.9.

We started the year with qualifications for ESL Pro League Season 17: European Conference. There we shared the top 1. Then there were two Top 4s at CCT South Europe Series #2 and OMEN WGR Challenge 2023.

There were also appearances at major championships, such as ESL Pro League Season 17. However, it was not possible to get a high result, only TOP-28, but the experience of the game.

Later sAw took the top 8 at CCT North Europe Series #4, top 4 at ESL Challenger League Season 44: Europe. In April 2023, sAw played at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, but failed to rise above the TOP-16. But they managed to do it later, at local tournaments.

This was the case at Masters League Portugal Season 11: Online, where sAw won the trophy by beating For the Win in the final. This was the case at ESL Masters Espana Season 13: Onilne Stage, ESL Masters Espana Season 13, CCT West Europe #4.

• Composition sAw: MUTiRiS, rmn, ewjerkz, story, arrozdoce.

Before taking part in CCT Online Finals #5 sAw played a lot of championships and, to be fair, they were good almost everywhere. They took top 2 at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2, CCT North Europe Series #6, Aveiro Techdays Cup 2023, Master League Portugal Season 12: Online Stage.

We also played in big tournaments, such as Thunderpick World Championship 2023, where unfortunately for us we couldn't rise above TOP-12. At the end of November we won Master League Portugal Season 12 and XL Games Clash 2023.

CCT Online Finals #5 sAw Long Sogpeg were very confident. They easily ran over Team Space in the first round of the top set, winning 2-0. What came next was more difficult.

In the second round of CCT Online Finals #5 sAw met Aurora, who were stronger than the Portuguese. The match lasted 3 maps and sAw even won the first one, but it didn't go any further and as a result Aurora reached the semi-finals winning their series 1-2.

In the match for the third round of play-offs CCT Online #5 sAw met Zero Tenacity. The Portuguese had no problems passing their vis-a-vis, closing the series with a score of 2-0. Next was the same confident victory over Red Canids, but after that - a flight to the top 6 of the tournament after a loss from 9Pandas.

Before playing at PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 Europe RMR sAw played at YaLLa Compass Fall 2023, where they finished in the top 12. Already in 2024 they qualified for PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 Europe RMR, finishing in the Top 4 of PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 European Qualifier Top 4, and also attended the local event RTP Arena Cup 2024, where they easily finished in the Top 1.

PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 sAw started as one of the favourites for the Opening Stage and at first it seemed so: they went through the first two rounds with wins, but then a disorienting defeat by C9 and a seemingly funeral defeat against paiN with a score of 0-2. In the end, sAw Ledgeili FURIA went 0-2, ignominiously leaving the first World Championship in Counter-Strike 2 history.

ESL Pro League Season 19 started with an upsetting defeat to 3DMAX after two long maps with extra rounds on each. Next up was a 0-2 against Virtus.pro and a trip to the bottom of the grid.

Mappool sAw.

The most successful map for sAw is Nuke, where the Spaniards have 3 wins with 1 loss. Followed by Vertigo with a score of 2-1 and Ancient with a score of 3-2.

Neutral choices are Inferno and Anubis. Both maps have been played 4 times and on both maps the stats are 2-2.

The worst situation is on Overpass, where sAw have won 2 matches out of 6.

History of head-to-head meetings sAw - Imperial

In the new season the teams have not played each other.

Predicted result of Imperial - sAw at ESL Pro League Season 19

In this match I expect a victory from the Brazilian team. In my opinion, sAw lost morally, and this team is very dependent on the mental component. The Brazilians, as far as I am concerned, are in a much more favourable situation in this respect.

Bottom line: Imperial wins.
