Outsiders vs forZe Prediction: CIS derby in the first match of the second day

Roobet Cup 2022 is the first contest for tournament operator Roobet with a prize pool of $250,000. The tournament will be held online. There was no qualification or preliminaries. All the teams were invited to the live tournament. No matter what, the event will bring together the best teams in the world, which means that we are waiting for a serious fight.

The tournament is being played in two rounds: group stage and playoff stage. In the group stage, the sixteen participating teams will be divided into four groups of four and play in a GSL tournament (a so-called Swiss Table, but with two wins or losses). At the end of the group stage, the playoffs will be decided by the first and second-placed teams in each group. The playoffs will be played in a single-elimination system. All tournament matches, including the grand final, will be BO3.

The tournament's second day will be a derby in one of the first matches. A derby is always a tough and controversial match for the teams and, simultaneously, incredibly entertaining and cool for us - the spectators. As teams from the same region, the opponents know each other very well, and many of the players are friends in private life.

Outsiders: A good start in their new line-up

After the majors and after the substitutions, the Outsiders team had a big break, which was just necessary to adapt to the new players in the line-up fully. Even with the new players (who already have some experience), the core of the team and the coaching staff are experienced enough for the team to perform at the highest level. Their first tournament with the new roster was the ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference qualifier, where they easily handled their opponents and were among the first to earn a slot in the ESL Pro League Season 16.

This match will not be as easy for Outsiders as the qualifying matches (ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference). The team to be played against is much stronger than past opponents. Nevertheless, Outsiders are still favorites to win. They have much more experience playing in big events and personal experience with each of the players. Yes, they will have to show a little more than the default with which they outplayed the tier-2 teams in the last event, but I do not think it will be an unsolved problem for such an experienced team.

The latest change in the line-up was the arrival of Petr "fame" Bolyshev and David "n0rb3r7" Danielyan.

The best hltv rating is 4th in the world. Currently, they are in the 16th place in the world.

The best map is inferno, with a win rate of 67% for 6 maps played.

ForZe: "Young and promising"

When we talk about the ForZe team, we talk about a team with great promise. Only the captain is left from the old squad, and around him, a new roster of young shooters has been assembled, who are developing steadily and quickly. Once again, their journey started from the bottom. They went through hardships to the last major, where they performed very well. But unfortunately, at the most decisive moments, they lacked the experience to shut down their opponents, and ForZe gave away the comebacks. Despite this, ForZe played on equal terms with the top ten teams and showed a great result for the underdogs of the tournament.

Today, their opponent is very strong and experienced. Despite all their achievements, ForZe approaches the encounter as the underdog. Although their opponents are just gaining momentum and have not yet shown stable play in the distance, a ForZe victory in this encounter will still be more of a sensation than a pattern. But we'll be counting on a decent fight and a beautiful game. 

The last change in the line-up was the arrival of two young players, Alexandr "shalfey" Marenov and Evgeny "Norwi" Ermolin, as well as Artem "Fierce" Ivanov as head coach.

The best hltv ranking is number 13 in the world. Now, they are ranked 23rd in the world.

The best map is dust2, with a win rate of 88% for 8 maps played.
