Let's go.
FURIA uniforms
We open the match analysis with an analysis of FURIA's form. In this match, the Brazilian club will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.7.
Furia have travelled to over 10 tournaments over the year, but the successes have been mediocre. Their most high-profile win was a Top 1 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR, which gave them the opportunity to make their mark at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.
Furia finished their only Major of the season on a Minor note. They failed to rise above the top 16 and were not given by G2 Esports. The misfortunes of the Brazilians did not end there.
Before the ESL Pro League Long Season, the team failed the following events: IEM Masters Dallas 2023 (TOP-12), Thunderpick World Championship 2023 (TOP-16), and Gamers8 2023 (TOP-16).
- FURIA line-up: yuurih, arT, KSCERATO, FalleN, chelo.
Just before the ESL Pro League Season 18 Long Round, FURIA played at Pinnacle Cup V, where they managed to reach the Top 2. This was the most breakthrough result since the American RMR.
At ESL Pro League Season 18 FURIA played in Basket A. They got to the bottom net after the first round, and from there they went to the last chance net after the second round. There they cameback, defeating Grayhound and GamerLegion, thus getting their slot in the play-offs.
However, they didn't manage to play in the play-offs. In the first round FURIA ran into MOUZ, who became the champions of the prestigious event. As you may have guessed, FURIA lost with a score of 0-2.
In the opening match at Elisa Masters Espoo 2023, FURIA started with a win over Complexity. Next was a play-offs match against Apeks, where the Brazilians failed to build on their success and lost 0-2.
In the final match of the group stage FURIA played against MOUZ. Being the underdog, the Brazilians managed to oust one of the main contenders to win the Elisa Masters Espoo and qualify for the play-offs. In the end, FURIA performed very well and took the tournament championship by beating Apeks (3-1) in the grand final.
Next were BB Dacha, where FURIA finished Top 6, Top 24 at IEM Katowice 2024, Top 6 at RES Western European Masters: Spring 2024 and then qualifiers for top tournaments. And if at the qualifiers for IEM Dallas Furia was unlucky, they lost in the final 9z, but at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: American RMR the team managed to win and qualify for the PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major from the American region.
At the tournament itself, FURIA are looking pretty bad so far. FalleN and company lost to their former teammate coldzera in Legacy, as well as Lynn Vision, and managed to win only against KOI, who have already left the championship.
In the next match at PGL CS 2 Copenhagen Major 2024 FURIA beat ENCE. And they beat ENCE 2-0, without much of a chance. In the match for the Elimination Stage they beat sAw, but then they failed to control: at the end of the Elimination Stage Furia won 2-3 and left the World Championship.
Before the ESL Pro League Season 19, FURIA played at IEM China 2024, where they finished top-12. In the first round of ESL Pro League Season 19 FURIA opened with a match against Liquid and Ledge played the Americans with the score 1-2. Then - even more The International heresnier: match against forZe, where FURIA being the favourite went 0-2, and also lost their peak with the score 0-13. In the next match they met with BNK and at least there they won on class. In the next match FURIA confidently dealt with a more serious opponent, namely ENCE.
FURIA Mappool
The best map of FURIA remains Vertigo, the Brazilians played there 5 times and won in 3 maps. Next comes Mirage, already with 7 games and 4-3 statistics.
Neutral choice for Furia will be Nuke and Ancient. There the Brazilians have 6 maps and the score is 3-3 on each.
The worst goes to Overpass (2-3) and Inferno (1-2).
Form Monte
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Monte's form. In this match the Ukrainian club is playing as the number two with the odds of winning at around 2.
Before the Long Spring IEM Cologne 2023 had a series of unsuccessful tournaments. They finished top-16 at the next CCT, this time North Europe Series #5, and top-8 at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023.
- Monte lineup: Gizmy, ryu, Woro2k, DemQQ, kRaSnaL.
After a great run at BLAST.tv Major 2023, Monte left the headliner of that roster - BOROS - and was replaced by Astralis Talent member - Danish br0.
Monte rolled out the roster at Play-In IEM Cologne 2023, where they defeated Brazilian teams twice: first Imperial 16-9 and then FURIA 2-1 in the series. Monte beat GamerLegion in the group stage, but were unable to face more serious opponents like Heroic. IEM Cologne 2023 ended with a match against Cloud9. Monte tried, but Ledgeilie more titled club with a score of 0-2.
Before ESL Pro League Season 18 played a number of local championships. Among them were CCT Series tournaments, where Monte finished in the top 4, and top 2 at CCT North Europe Series #7, and there was also Pinnacle Cup V, where the Ukrainian club again finished in the top 4.
In the debut match at ESL Pro League Season 18 they met with the Germans from BIG. As expected, the match was equal, especially on the first two maps, but the decisive match was very lopsided: 16-5 in favour of BIG and Monte fell to the lower grid.
In the first round of the lower grid Monte played with the nominally weakest participants of Basket B - Australians from Rooster. It looked like they were going to close with a 2-0 score, but it turned out that there was no need to be happy before the time, and Monte Ledge were on the first card, but then cameback, thus turning the series in their favour.
In the previous match Monte played against MIBR. As in all other matches on ESL Pro League, the game was tense and hard, but in the end the Brazilians triumphed.
Next, Monte managed to get through the last chance net. First they outplayed Heroic with a score of 1-2, and then took revenge on MIBR.
After a real success in the group, Monte made it to the first round of play-offs. There they showed a very serious level of play, defeating Fnatic, Complexity and then Vitality. They were beaten by NaVi, winning the semi-finals 2-0.
Before playing at Roobet Cup 2023, Monte played at IEM Sydney 2023, where they showed a pretty good, but not perfect, game. Monte finished the Sydney tournament in the top 8.
In parallel with the Roobet Cup 2023 Monte played at the Thunderpick World Championship 2023, where at the time of writing this betting thread they were waiting for their semi-final opponent.
In the first High Group match at ESL Challenger Season 46, the team played against a tough French ѕtask Looking4Org. So tough that those won with a score of 2-1.
In the last match of the group stage Monte faced SINNERS Esports. Being the clear favourite to win, the Ukrainian club lost to the Czechs somehow toothlessly, thus sending themselves to the first round of the lower net. As a result, Monte withdrew from the tournament due to a busy schedule.
Next, the club had a very good Challenger in Atlanta, where they managed to reach the top 4, failed IEM Katowice 2024 with the final top 12 and won the RES Eastern European Masters: Spring 2024 with the subsequent entry to the Spring Showdown from BLAST.
At PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B started with a loss to ECSTATIC, then beat NEXUS and then Ledge and Apeks. It all ended with a loss to Astralis.
Monte then finished in the Top 12 at RES European Series #1 and Top 8 at BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024. After that, Monte was supposed to play at IEM China 2024, but didn't make it there due to travel problems. They managed to go to Global Esports Tour Rio de Janeiro 2024, where the Ukrainian club failed to show the game: TOP-8.
ESL Pro League Season 19 started with a 2-0 victory over forZe. In the match for the play-offs Monte met Liquid and although they fought valiantly, they failed to win. Then another failure in the match against very "raw" ENCE and fell in the net of the last chance. In the match of a lifetime they played against forZe for the second time in the tournament and won for the second time.
Mapule Monte
Monte's best map is Ancient. There Monte has 7 wins in 9 matches. However, Mirage can also be called a signature choice for the Ukrainian club: it was played 13 times and won 10 of them.
Things are not bad on Anubis, where Monte has 8 wins and 4 losses.
The worst is Vertigo. There Monte have a statistic of 2-4.
History of head-to-head meetings FURIA - Monte
The last time the teams played each other was back in August 2023 and then FURIA won. However, since then Monte have changed their squad significantly.
Predicted result of Monte vs FURIA at Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2024
In this match I'm betting on a full-fledged Bo3. Both teams have accelerated during their performance in the "mid-season" and last chance nets, so everything should be decided on three maps.
Bottom line: total +2.5.
