Eternal Fire

The Turks were very strong at the beginning of 2024, making a lot of noise at the majors and tier-1 tournaments. At the time, Eternal Fire was in seventh place in the HLTV rankings and was a serious threat to all the top teams in CS2. In the summer, the team suffered a slight downturn and slipped in the world rankings, but did not become weaker.

Eternal Fire suffers from unstable performances. Out of all players only XANTARES is stable and good - the Turk shows high numbers (more than 1.2 HLTV rating every year), and is not included in the annual leaderboards only because of the lack of results on the Tier-1 level. Woxic is also strong, but is slightly less likely to be noted for good stats. Calyx and Wicadia can't keep consistently in good shape yet, and their individual results float from tournament to tournament. It cannot be said that MAJ3R is a top captain and strategist, because the key to Eternal Fire's success lies precisely in individual performance. Although the Turks have one distinctive trait - they are not afraid to play fast, aggressive, creative.

Eternal Fire in 2024 won the CCT Season 1 Global Final and earned $250,000,000 in prize money, with the organisation receiving another $45,000 for the top 8 of the majors. The first half of 2024 turned out well, and it didn't take long for the Turks to be considered a dash-1 team. The tournament in Cologne could be a litmus test for the team - will they become a dash-1 team on a permanent basis, or are they not yet ready to be at the next level all the time?

Team Falcons

There's no way the Falcons can get back to climbing to the top of HLTV. Team Falcons bought top players, hired one of the best coaches of our time, and have been trying to get results for six months now, but they are going lower and lower. The Falcons were in the top 10 of HLTV with ENCE players, but now they are in 14th place, and there is a prospect to go even lower.

Firstly, Team Falcons' winrate at the dash-1 level tends to zero. Last time zonic team won against a top opponent in Belgrade, but Virtus.pro played very badly there. A small winning streak was in February at IEM Katowice, where Team Falcons took 3-4 place. Then the team didn't qualify for the Esports World Cup, didn't make it out of the group at ESL Pro League Season 19 - so many failures fell on the multiple major champions.

There is no suggestion that the Falcons are playing their best Counter-Strike. At the recent autumn groups BLAST tried Magisk, even entered the top 3 of the individual ranking. But alone the Dane can not win top teams, and there is no talk of winning tournaments. The development process of Team Falcons is dragging on, and no matter how much you have to resort to solaflams to fix the rich roster.

Expert Betting Tips

Eternal Fire has upset Team Falcons twice in 2024. HLTV stats also suggest that the Turks beat ENCE twice in 2023 when SunPayus, Maden, and Snappi played there. XANTARES and company will be the favourites in this encounter.
