Monte vs KOI Match Prediction and Analysis - Tiebreakers Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: EU RMR CQ
The match is scheduled to begin at 17:00 EEST. Bo3.gg, together with Serhii "Sergiz" Atamanchuk, presents a preview, prediction, and analysis of the match.
Current Form
After shifting their focus from Ukrainian players to Polish ones, Monte 's results have been highly inconsistent. If the team manages to win a match, these victories are often hard-fought in overtime rounds. Monte has won only two out of their last FIVE matches, and if they manage to capitalize on this second chance to qualify for the RMR, making it to the major in Shanghai seems almost like a fantasy.
After selling their main stars, Movistar Riders have undergone a merger with two other organizations and a rebranding. Now, the Spanish club is called KOI . Since then, the team's results have been very mediocre. The team has been attending fewer and fewer major tournaments and has increasingly rooted itself in the tier-2 scene. Previously, the Spanish team was a force to be reckoned with for top-tier teams, but those times are now in the past. In their last FIVE matches, KOI has won only two.
Map Pool
Regarding the map pool, it is 100% certain that Monte will ban Inferno and KOI will ban Dust2. Monte may choose Mirage or Anubis as their pick since they have a statistical advantage over their opponent on these maps. KOI will most likely try their luck on Nuke. For the decider, the teams may leave Vertigo.
Head-to-Head
Recently, Monte and KOI have frequently played against each other. In just one month, the teams have faced each other three times — Monte won twice, and KOI won once. The last match, which also took place as part of the EU RMR CQ, was won by the Spanish team. The match on Vertigo ended with a score of 13:9. This is an excellent opportunity for Monte to take revenge.
Prediction from sergiz
Former professional Counter-Strike player and Maincast studio analyst Serhii "Sergiz" Atamanchuk understands the game very well and made his prediction for the upcoming match.
Monte looked better in terms of gameplay than KOI from what I saw in the closed qualifiers, but don't expect an easy match, you know what I mean. Monte is very unstable, and the main thing in this situation is not to lose to themselves, because we know how they can do that and have seen it multiple times with different rosters. Let's hope they grab onto this chance that fate is giving them, and we'll watch them at the RMR.Serhii "Sergiz" Atamanchuk
