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.
