FURIA Esports vs Apeks Prediction: Why do you still believe in FURIA Esports after such a failure?

Prediction for the IEM Katowice 2024 Play-in FURIA Esports vs Apeks match which will take place on February 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

FURIA Esports did not get a place on the main stage of IEM Katowice 2024, so they had to play on the play-in stage. In the first match, the Brazilians failed to pass the traditional MongolZ team, losing to Mirage in extra rounds with a score of 14:16. Why do you still believe in FURIA Esports after such a failure?

The team's power is in the hands of two geniuses from Brazil - KSCERATO and yuurih. On their best day, these two guys can pull out the most essential clutches and complex games for FURIA Esports. KSCERATO is ranked #19 in the 2023 HLTV annual rankings and is considered one of the best support players in the world. The team won the Elisa Masters Espoo 2023 in December, bringing the title back to the stage after two years without a win. FalleN's transition was important not from having a quality sharpshooter but from the position of mentor and leader.

The top 4 of the Paris Major for CS:GO are in serious trouble. After the sensation at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, Apeks left ingame leader kyxsan and riffler jL for promotion, inexperienced players sense and CacaNito joined the team. After that, apeks wasn't great on the tier-1 scene, but on tier-2, they finished second twice at the Elisa Masters Espoo 2023 and the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2023. Their success at the latter major earned them a spot at RMR. But will Apeks draw the highest level of competition in CS2?

In the first open qualifier for IEM Chengdu 2024, the team lost in round 32 to For The Win Esports, a Portuguese team that dominated only at home in 2023. If we take the last games in three months, Apeks has no stability there. They can win against Monte and MOUZ but quickly lose against Aurora Gaming and 3DMAX, balanced between 25th and 40th in the HLTV team rankings. However, Apeks is not always in the top 20 teams and is currently ranked 12th due to its recent final appearances.

Apeks returned from vacation early, but their last performance against the Dragons shocked everyone. FURIA Esports has a history of games and talented players who always perform well. It's risky to bet on a win in any form, as both teams can pull off upsets, but you can consider the option with the totals.
