Ennuste ottelussa CS2 BESTIA - Sharks

BESTIA and Sharks Esports will meet in the CBCS 2023 Season 1 grand final. It is worth recalling that the teams have already played each other in the group stage and the Brazilians managed to win then.

I don't think the situation has changed much, although I personally find BESTIA genuinely interesting thanks to their fresh play. Still, Sharks Esports certainly won't give up that easily given their current form.

All in all, the teams are really worth each other as they have rightfully reached the grand final. So it's logical that the fight will be serious, and a lot will be decided in the details. So I'd put my money on three points here.

Form BESTIA

The 77th ranked team in the world recently won 1XPLORE Latin America Cup 1, during which they managed to beat ODDIK, paiN Academy, Boca Juniors and TropiCaos.

As for their performance in the group stage of CBCS 2023 Season 1, BESTIA managed to beat Los Grandes and RED Canids but also suffered defeat by Sharks Esports to reach the quarterfinals.

In the play-offs, the Argentine team continued their winning streak, first beating ODDIK and then handing Meta, winner of the adjacent group, a convincing victory.

The latest BESTIA results:

• A 1-2 defeat to Sharks Esports.
• A 16-8 win over VELOX.
• 16-11 win over LRV.
• 2-1 victory over ODDIK.
• 2-0 win over Meta.

• Nuke - 100% wins.
• Anubis - 82% wins.
• Inferno - 73% wins.

Let's not forget that the Argentinian team consistently fails to appear on the Vertigo map.

The 67th team of the world ranking lit up at CCT 2023 Online Finals 1, where it even outplayed 9INE and Endpoint. However, the Brazilian squad then slowed down, thereby quickly dropping out of the championship.

After their return, Sharks Esports managed to flop in Pinnacle Cup Brasil 1, as they suffered a rather unexpected loss to Boca Juniors in the quarterfinals of the tournament.

However, at the CBCS 2023 Season 1, the team has it all together as they defeated MIBR Academy, FURIA Academy and BESTIA in the group. The day before in the semi-finals, the Brazilians once again shut out FURIA Academy, playing quite confidently.

The latest results Sharks Esports:

• A 1-2 defeat to Boca Juniors.
• A 2-1 win over MIBR Academy.
• A 2-0 win over FURIA Academy.
• Beat BESTIA 2-1.
• 2-0 win over FURIA Academy.

Sharks Esports top scorers:

• Ancient - 83% wins.

In turn, the Brazilian team continues to deny Overpass.

BESTIA - Sharks Esports match statistics

Within the current season, the teams have played two meetings:

Interestingly, the teams picked the Anubis card in both meetings.

BESTIA - Sharks Esports match prediction

Personally, I find it hard to pick a favorite for the meeting, as both teams deserve to win. And the personal sympathy goes more to the Argentines, who haven't become weaker after the change of their shooter.

As for Sharks Esports, the team noticeably improved in recent months, but only if you look at the performance in such small championships.

In general, each team has both advantages and disadvantages. And it's hard to pick favourites. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total 2.5 over.
