BESTIA vs Monte Prediction: the Argentinian Team Will Gain Experience

Prediction for the ESL Challenger Atlanta match which will take place on December 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

BESTIA

BESTIA is the Argentinean team that won the ESL Challenger Atlanta 2023: South American Qualifier. Their year ends with the toughest matches ever - there's a chance to play against teams from the top 10 of the HLTV. 

In 2023, the team played mainly in tier-2 tournaments in South America. They are currently ranked 68th in the HLTV. The achievement list includes tournament victories with prizes of 10-15 thousand dollars. However, BESTIA has never been selected for an international tournament. The team has good win rates on Anubis (73% for 15 maps) and Inferno (65% for 20 maps). Individual stats stand out: luchov has a 1.15 HLTV rating, 80 damage per round, and 0.73 kills. Pistol rounds have been a problem in recent tournaments.

BESTIA ends the year on a high note. But the level of the opponents is too high to compete with them on equal terms. The Argentinians will gain experience for the future but will not cause a sensation in the match against Monte.

Monte

Monte is ranked in the top 10 of the HLTV and is fighting for the title of tier-1 team in CS2. They have a win at the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Winter 2023, a second place at the Roobet Cup 2023, and a top 4 finish at the Thunderpick World Championship 2023. The last result in the ESL Challenger League Season 46: Europe (9th-10th place) was a technical defeat.

The Ukrainian team plays perfectly on Vertigo - 100% on six maps. But Monte prefers to play on Anubis (64% on 25 maps). All players have a positive HLTV rating for the last three months, but Woro2k stands out - +239 kills, 1.17 HLTV rating, and 0.76 kills per round. Monte has a high win rate against tier-2 teams, but at the tier-1 level has only played Virtus.pro recently with mixed success.

Monte has a good group again and should easily make the playoffs. The match against BESTIA should not be too difficult for the sdy team. There are only a few opponents in the tournament that can give Monte a fight for the title.
