paiN Gaming Will win

(Autotranslate. Original: RU)

Apeks and paiN Gaming will play in the fourth round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage to win a trip to the Legends and an extra day's rest.

Hand on heart, the Brazilian squad deserved to move on. Purely on the game, paiN Gaming seems to me a mature team that has made great strides in three months, having played a bunch of matches in Europe.

Yes, Apeks aren't made of stone, but I can't help feeling that we're talking about a second-tier team. So here I would use a subjective evaluation and settle for a win for paiN Gaming.

Form Apeks

The world's 24th ranked team took a shot at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, as with victories over GamerLegion, Sprout and B8 Esports they managed to snatch a trip to the majors.

Meanwhile, the European side reached the quarterfinals of Brazy Party 2023, where they lost to Astralis and also took second place in the CCT West Europe Series 3.

As for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, Apeks outplayed Team Liquid and Grayhound Gaming, but had no chance the day before against G2 Esports in BO3.

Apeks latest results:

A 2-1 win over Looking4Org.
A 0-2 loss to Monte.
Victory over Team Liquid by a score of 16-12.
Beat Grayhound Gaming 16-0.
0-2 defeat by G2 Esports.

Apeks top scorers:

Anubis - 80% wins.
Ancient - 67% wins.
Inferno - 62% wins.
Overpass - 59% wins.
Mirage - 50% wins.

It is worth recalling that the European squad is giving up Nuke.

The shape of paiN Gaming

The eighteenth-ranked team in the world was able to shoot for their BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, where they suffered only one defeat at the hands of FURIA.

Next up, the Brazilian team travelled to Europe to reach the quarter-finals of Brazy Party 2023. However, there, the boys failed to cope with Cloud9, although in some places they looked every bit as good.

As for the Long Sogpeg on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, here paiN Gaming marked victories over Fluxo and Complexity Gaming, but also in a close match Ledge and FaZe Clan.

Meeting statistics Apeks - paiN Gaming

The teams have not met before.

Prediction for the match Apeks - paiN Gaming

The disadvantage of paiN Gaming is definitely the Nuke ban from the opponent. However, even without that the Brazilian team has an excellent performance, with a sample mixed with Europe.

As for Apeks, the game with G2 Esports showed that it is too early to count on the team. Yes, the Europeans can do something, and don't suffer from shooting in places. But still something is missing, as if you're talking about a team stuck on CCT.

So in this case I would recommend betting on the paiN Gaming team to win.
