Solid and BESTIA meet in the final quarter-final of CCT South America Series 7. Quite the International match, although in my mind the Argentine team are a head above their rivals.
On the other hand, Solid have been winning quite a lot lately, and recently the team was able to beat BESTIA in TG Rush Autumn 2023.
Still, I'll stick to my opinion, because the Argentines offer The International a hectic and individually strong squad, with which it's a shame to lose at such stages. So I'd go with the BESTIA squad for the win here.
Form Solid
The 87th ranked team in the world fell at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR where they suffered two defeats to Complexity Gaming and Paquetá, finishing in last place.
Next up, the Brazilian team crashed out of CCT South America Series 6 and open qualification for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.
Solid, on the other hand, reached the final of the same TG Rush Autumn 2023, and also confidently Long Conquered at CCT South America Series 7, outclassing Boca Juniors.
Solid's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over SELECAO.
- A 2-0 win over BESTIA.
- A 2-0 win over Paquetá.
- 0-2 defeat by Sharks Esports.
- A 2-1 win over Boca Juniors.
Top scorers Solid:
- Ancient - 77% wins.
- Vertigo - 75% wins.
- Overpass - 50% wins.
Let's not forget that the Brazilian squad is giving up Nuke maps.
BESTIA uniforms
The 71st ranked team in the world also visited the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, where they started with a victory over Nouns Esports, but were followed by Ledgeila Fluxo and MIBR.
The Brazilian squad then unexpectedly failed in the play-offs of CCT South America Series 6, as well as failing to clinch qualification for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.
Of the latter, BESTIA played poorly at TG Rush Autumn 2023, but with a win over paiN Academy Long Converged at the current CCT South America Series 7.
BESTIA's latest results:
- A 0-2 loss to W7M Academy.
- A 16-9 win over SELECAO.
- A 13-16 loss to ODDIK.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Solid.
- 2-0 win over paiN Academy.
BESTIA's best score:
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
In return, the Argentinian team have given up their Vertigo maps.
Solid - BESTIA meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams have played two meetings:
- BESTIA's 16-7 win in the closed qualifying for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR.
- Solid's 2-0 win at TG Rush Autumn 2023.
The teams then played Inferno, Ancient and Overpass on the map.
Solid vs BESTIA preview
An interesting and rather unpredictable encounter. However, the Argentine side is certainly not weaker than Solid, even in spite of their last head-to-head defeat.
What's more, BESTIA has a specific set of cards which can surprise their opponent. The same Anubis and Inferno could be the key cards in this match-up.
So in this case, I'd recommend betting on BESTIA to win.
