Bad News Eagles and ORKS will meet in the quarter-finals of the ESL Pro League Season 18 NC Europe Qualifier, where, as we already know, the tickets for the upcoming championships in Malta are up for grabs.
What can we say here? First of all, we're dealing with Poles who have been skating under the radar for a long time. Secondly, we get to look at the Bad News Eagles, who for once will play a non-major qualifier.
Honestly, I don't think ORKS will be using outside help in this matchup, as the opponent may not be forgiving. And there is no point in fighting for a slot on the EPL if there will be a complete failure there. So here I would settle for a win for the Bad News Eagles team.
Bad News Eagles uniforms
The 21st team of the world ranking was unforgettable in BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they managed to get just one sensational win over G2 Esports, but also went down in three matches.
Next, the Kosovar team failed at CCT South Europe Series 4, and also had a weak performance at CCT 2023 Online Finals 1, where they suffered defeats to FORZE and 9INE.
Still, before the break Bad News Eagles won the local RES Adriatic League Season 2, for which they got the opportunity to play in the ESL Pro League Season 18 NC Europe Qualifier.
Bad News Eagles latest results:

It should be recalled that the Kosovar team does not appear on the Nuke map.
ORKS uniforms
The 80th team of the world ranking won the regional ESL Polish Championship Spring 2023, thanks to which they managed to get into the European qualification for ESL Pro League Season 18.
However, the Polish team failed to perform well in LEON TEAMPLAY Season 1 and also failed to qualify for Gamers8 2023, even though they managed to defeat OG.
As for Long Sogpeg at the ESL Pro League Season 18 NC Europe Qualifier, here ORKS has already managed to outplay ex-DomiNation, which, as you realise, is a mirror game with the same gimmicks.
ORKS' latest results:
- A 2-1 win over Illuminar Gaming.
- Victory over Anonymo Esports with a score of 3:1.
- 16:14 win over OG.
- Defeat of 1WIN with the score 10:16.
- Victory over ex-DomiNation with the score 2:0.
Best ORKS results:
- Nuke - 75% wins.
- Mirage - 71% wins.
- Ancient - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 60% of victories.
In turn, the Polish team does not risk to show up on the map Anubis.
Statistics of Bad News Eagles - ORKS
Last season the teams had one meeting - at the ESL Challenger League Season 43 Europe, ORKS won (2:1).
Prediction for the match Bad News Eagles - ORKS
It's hard to look for any logic in this pairing, as a lot depends on factors such as desire and availability. To put it bluntly, if the Poles decide to play fair, it will be an easy one for Bad News Eagles.
On the other hand, ORKS even with the radar often fails, and at such a championship the Poles clearly shouldn't shine, especially against a known opponent.
Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on the victory of Bad News Eagles.
