FORZE Esports finished Group A in third place, with two defeats against Team Space and Monte. Since then, the Russian squad have played 14 series and won all but four, but they’ve completed just a handful of games since the departure of Aleksey “El1an” Gusev.
Movistar Riders enter this match in concerning form. They are 2-4 across their last six games, have not played an official match in three weeks, and on Friday parted ways with Antonio “Martinez” Martinez. The Spanish squad have yet to announce a replacement.
Even though FORZE also recently lost a key player, they are rightly priced as favourites with CS2 betting sites. A moneyline bet on the Russians is a solid choice, but we’ll trust FORZE to sweep.

Monte looked incredible in September and October. While they have continued posting good results since their solid performance at Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023, Monte have recently shown signs of struggle.
At the start of November, Monte lost against Virtus.pro, Looking4Org (now 3DMAX), and SINNERS Esports. On a more positive note, they have won their last four series leading to this match.
EYEBALLERS have been producing mixed results since the transition to Counter-Strike 2. In November, they placed 9th-16th at both CCT Central Europe Series #8 and CCT East Europe Series #4. And while EYEBALLERS have picked up some commanding wins over that stretch, we’ve rarely seen them defeat a stronger team.

SINNERS Esports enter ESL Challenger League Season 46 Europe looking to bounce back from their fourth-place finish at M?R 2023. Prior to the Czech CS2 tournament, SINNERS were competitive at CCT Online Finals #4 (5th-6th) and CCT Central Europe Series #8 (2nd), but the consistency is not there.
9INE are similar in that regard. They made the semifinals of CCT North Europe Series #8 at the end of October and reached the finals of ESL Mistrzostwa Polski Autumn 2023 a month later. Over the last two weeks, 9INE have beaten some notable squads, including 2-0 sweeps of Apeks and FORZE Esports, but they’ve also lost against Pera Esports and PALOMA.
Both teams have proven they can lose to anyone, so while 9INE looked better a month ago, this looks like a 50-50 match.
