FORZE

FORZE travelled to Malta with an interesting line-up - shalfey, tN1R and SETTLER as core players, and NickelBack and smooya as stand-ins. The candidature of the latter has already caused resonance in the community, and the sniper himself has managed to raise interest to his person with both playing and speech skills. Nevertheless, FORZE has already won one match within ESL Pro League Season 19 and will play in the semi-finals of the middle grid.

Surprisingly, the lack of communication does not prevent FORZE from playing well. The series against Monte was very tight, there were even overtimes on the second map. The match against FURIA Esports was more favourable, and there was even a resounding 13:0 win on Overpass. Smooya has fit in very well and is making a significant contribution to FORZE's result - one of the best players in FACEIT is gaining 1.2 HLTV ratings for the tournament and has 0.73 kills per round. The team plays defence at a high level (68%) and has good majority realisation (80%), as well as a high percentage on pistol rounds (75%).

FORZE cannot boast of steep achievements in 2024. Often the organisation can't even get to the closed qualifications for major events, and they got to ESL Pro League Season 19 due to last year's merits in ESL Challenger League. But many of the opponents in Group D are on the decline, and that can be taken advantage of. At least the main players in the squad need to establish themselves, and smooya can attract the attention of European clubs.

GamerLegion

The team can't boast of stability at the tier-1 level lately. The team with big ambitions fails at RMR and goes to the majors because of the circumstances, does not pass to the World Cup in Saudi Arabia, although they try to impose the fight to the tops at LAN-tournaments. Before the start of ESL Pro League Season 19, the Snax team made roster adjustments, and now instead of acoR and Keoz young sl3nd and aNdu are playing.

The match against MOUZ showed that GamerLegion is now far from the tier-1 level. Lots of missplays, failures on tactics, and no one can become a real star. This problem was in the team before, and now inexperience of newcomers has been added to it. There is potential in sniper sl3nd, but it takes a long time to unlock it, although the Hungarian looks good in some places. In Malta, the team is not good at playing attack - less than 40% winrate in rounds, as well as total bad luck in pistol rounds (25%), but in the overall picture there are good numbers when playing in the minority (33%).

It must be admitted that only memories and isak remain from GamerLegion's vice-championship line-up. In 2024, the organisation bought a slot for BLAST tournaments, so they appeared more often on the signs of big matches. But the reality shows that they found it difficult to compete with the top opponents, and on the tier-2 not everything works out. On paper, GamerLegion should take a slot in the playoffs, but in reality, dreams may be shattered in a match with FORZE.
