Prediction for the match NaVi — 00 Nation ESL Pro League Season 17 21.03.2023
NAVI vs. 00NATION: ESL Pro League Season 17 Playoff Opening Round
NAVI and 00NATION will clash for a place in the 1/8 finals of ESL Pro League Season 17. The winner of this pair will face off against the Outsiders.
00NATION, the Brazilian team, made it to the playoffs without showing outstanding results in Group C. At the same time, NAVI improved their form throughout the tournament. With NAVI playing last week, they have gained a competitive advantage over 00NATION.
Position protection 00NATION
The Brazilians showed a weak game in the group stage, and it will be difficult to resist such a strong opponent as NAVI. Consequently, most bet on a crushing victory for NAVI in this match.
Form NAVI
Ranking 5th in the world rankings, NAVI showed good results at IEM Katowice 2023, reaching the semi-finals. However, in the match against Heroic the team played poorly. In the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, NAVI started with difficulty, losing to FORZE. Despite this, the team was able to bounce back with three straight victories over Astralis, Rare Atom and Team Spirit, solving their problems as they went.
Form 00NATION
Being in 30th place in the world rankings, 00NATION made it to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 America RMR with great difficulty. The Brazilian team lost TACO before the start of ESL Pro League Season 17, and continued to lose positions, losing to OG and Grayhound Gaming. In the end, 00NATION managed to win three controversial matches, but the results were not convincing.
Prediction for the match NAVI — 00NATION
Given the game form of 00NATION, it is extremely difficult to believe in their sensational victory. They defeated Ninjas in Pajamas, but this was not the merit of the team itself.
NAVI, although they tried to solve their problems in the group stage, sometimes looked weak, for example, on Inferno against Rare Atom. However, 00NATION may turn out to be easier to handle than, say, a Chinese team. Moreover, the 00NATION stand-in is not up to the task.
Thus, in this situation, it is recommended to bet on the victory of NAVI with a score of 2:0.
