Team Monte from Ukraine is a participant in many tier-2 tournaments. Sometimes, the Ukrainians make it to the top 4, and sometimes, they face setbacks, as in the case of CCT South Europe Series #3, where they failed to make it out of the group. However, Monte has gained well-deserved recognition for her performances at major tournaments. At the BLAST.tv Paris Major, they surprised many by reaching the playoff stage, although they failed to advance further, losing to GamerLegion.
Monte's roster was changed with the arrival of br0 from Astralis Talent, replacing BOROS. The team's path to the ESL Pro League began with a win in qualification, where they successfully defeated Brazilian teams Imperial and FURIA.
At the tournament itself, Monte faced difficulties, losing to Cloud9, but showed good results in matches against less-titled teams. Especially impressive were their performances in the bottom set, where they beat Fnatic, Complexity, and Vitality until they met NaVi on their way.
In their first match at IEM Sydney 2023, Monte failed to show their best CS and lost to Complexity with a score of 9:13. Despite this, and the team has immeasurable potential.
Grayhound
Team Grayhound from Australia, competing at IEM Sydney 2023, is invited to the tournament as a Local Hero and is perhaps somewhat out of their comfort zone at such a prestigious tournament. Despite their quality wins at local tournaments and qualifiers, the team's success on the world stage has been more modest.
At IEM Katowice 2023, the Australians took 24th place, and at ESL Pro League Season 17 - 28th. Even at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they made their way to the majors, Grayhound finished in 19th place. Their results at major world tournaments leave a lot to be desired.
Despite this, Grayhound Gaming participates in many events and often shows good play. At IEM Sydney 2023, these Australians seriously resisted G2 Esports, losing by a slim margin of 11:13.
The roster includes players with experience and potential for improvement. Given their preparation and desire to succeed on the world stage, Grayhound Gaming is still capable of surprising.
Expert Betting Tips
We can make conclusions about the Monte and Grayhound teams. Monte showed good results at ESL Pro League Season 18, but the Ukrainian organization lost to Americans from Complexity in its debut match at IEM Sydney 2023.
On the other hand, Grayhound showed a more confident performance in its debut match against G2 Esports at IEM Sydney 2023, playing a close game with a slim 11:13 lead on a non-signature card.
This suggests that Grayhound has a good chance of winning at least one card in their match against Monte despite their lackluster success on the world stage. If they can continue their positive momentum and attitude after their opening match, the Australians can make Monte fight for every card. In the end, Grayhound has a good chance of making a run at this series, perhaps even taking the entire series in their favor.
