Let's go.
Form 9INE
Commencing the match analysis, let's delve into an assessment of 9INE's current form. Notably, in this particular matchup, the Poles are poised as favorites with odds to win at around 1.5 on the best CS2 gambling sites.
9INE had a very fruitful first half of the year, which allowed the Polish club to climb into the top-20 of the best teams in the world. However, the lion's share of the events played were TIR-2 events.
9INE managed to get a number of victories at OMEN WGR Challenge 2023, GAM3RS_X Polish Clash and other local tournaments. However, the main achievements came in the spring of this year.
In April, 9INE triumphed at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: Europe RMR B, which opened the way to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. The Major itself ended for the Poles in the top 16.
Before the IEM Cologne 2023 Long Circuit, 9INE picked up another important win. They qualified for the big-budget Gamers8 by beating SAW in last chance qualification.
- 9INE roster: Goofy, KEi, Kylar, mynio, hades.
9INE is one of the most stable Play-In IEM Cologne teams. The club has been playing in such a roster for half a year already.
The first Play-In IEM Cologne 2023 opponent for 9INE was OG. The Poles won with a score of 19-17.
Then there was a loss from Fnatic (0-2), and then a minimal sensation in the form of a victory over Liquid in the match for the exit to the group stage. Then 9INE dealt with the North American club with a score of 2-1.
In the first match of the play-offs, 9INE were up against ENCE, but came up a little short. The Finns turned the game around on the decisive Mirage and sent 9INE to the bottom of the group stage.
The team finished their performance at IEM Cologne 2023 with a match against Cloud9. The Poles failed to defeat the more prestigious opponent, and lost with a score of 1-2 and left the championship.
Before the Long Cologne ESL Pro League Season 18, the team visited Thunderpick World Championship 2023 and Gamers8. Both tournaments ended for 9INE at the top 16.
At EPL Season 18, the team played their first match against Complexity. The Americans put up a solid fight and pulled out a win, which was a mini sensation considering the Poles' play in recent months.
In the previous match 9INE played against Eternal Fire. The Turks were a few goals stronger than the Poles and closed the series 2-0 without any problems.
ESL Pro League Season 18 9INE finished ignominiously. They were eliminated by Lynn Vision at the TOP-32 stage, which is a very difficult result to call.
Next up was the European BLAST Showdown, where 9INE finished in the top 8. They also played at the same CCT North Europe Series #8, where they managed to get to the TOP-4, but were knocked out by Spirit.
There was also Roobet Cup 2023, where the Poles also had bad luck. 9INE were victorious in the group stage, finishing in the final standings in TOP-9-12
Map 9INE
The best 9INE map is Vertigo. There the Poles won 14 matches with only 4 losses.
Then comes Mirage (66% wins in 6 games), Anubis (58% wins in 12 maps) and Nuke (57% winrate in 7 matches).
The worst maps for 9INE are Ancient with 36% of wins in 7 matches and Inferno, where Poles have not won a single match in 3 maps.
SINNERS form
We continue the match review with the analysis of SINNERS form. They will have to play as the number two with the odds of winning around 2.3.
The Czechs are having a very active year. I wouldn't be lying if I said that they play absolutely everywhere they can. This includes various qualifiers, B-Tier tournaments and local andVent tournaments.
The most successful period can be called the first half of the year, namely the period between March and May. SINNERS earned two championships and two top-4 finishes: they won the Tipsport Cup Prague Spring 2023: Online Stage and Tipsport Cup Bratislava 2023: Online Stage, the top 2 at the Tripsport Cup Prague Spring 2023 and the top 4 of CCT Central Europe Series #6. As you can see, almost all local Czech championships, but as they say, what's rich.
The Czechs continued to be active, but the results were more modest. At more famous championships like CCT series tournaments they were mostly in the "middle".
- SINNERS line-up: beastik, ZEDKO, SHOCK, oskar, KWERTZZ .
Before participating in ESL Challenger Season 46, SINNERS played at Majstrovstva SR 2023, Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023: Online Stage and Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023, as well as CCT North Europe Series #8. The first three events did well: top-4 and even silver at Tipsport Cup Prague Fall 2023, but CCT North America Europe Series #8 was top-16.
ESL Challenger Season 46 is going well for SINNERS so far. They finished in the top 2 of their group, Ledge only to APEKS.
Map SINNERS
The strongest map of SINNERS is Anubis. There they have 13 wins and 5 losses. Next is Ancient with 11 wins in 17 matches. The rest of the maps have minus winnings.
Overpass (47% wins), Mirage (42% wins), Inferno (30% wins), Vertigo (28% wins), Nuke (0% wins).
History of head-to-head meetings SINNERS - 9INE
SINNERS - 9INE played each other at Gamers8 2023 Europe Open Qualifier 1. At that time 9INE celebrated the victory.
Predicted result of the match SINNERS - 9INE at ESL Challengers Season 46
In this match my sympathies are definitely on the side of 9INE. The Poles have more experience on the big stage, while the Czechs are not even the best team in the Czech Republic.
Bottom line: 9INE wins.
