Prediction for the match between SAW and Rooster which will take plac🌌e on October 4. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! ♔Several betting options are available.

The main favorite of ESL Challenger DreamHack Atlanta 2024 is Portuguese team SAW. The MUTiRiS team recently shocked the CS2 community with their performance at IEM Cologne 2024 and took 3-4th place, guaranteeing themselves a place in the HLTV top 10 for the near future. After the success in Colඣogne, the team qualified for this tournament and will also play at a similar one in Katowice at the end of October. Will SAW be able to c𒆙onsolidate their recent results in Atalanta?

SAW plays Nuke perfectly - on this card the team has played 19 cards in the last three months with a 79% win rate. On Nuke it beat FaZe, G2 Esports and Natus Vincere - the list of victories is impressive. However, on the other maps ꦅSAW's winrates are above 60%, except for Ancient. Among the Portuguese individually we can highlight ewjerkz, arrocdoze and story. This trio received compliments from analysts ꧂during IEM Cologne 2024. Ewjerkz has put up impressive numbers over the past three months with a 1.23 HLTV rating, 86 damage per round, and a 1.35 IMPACT score. The team doesn't shy away from playing fast rounds, knows how to break the pace of the game, and isn't afraid to shoot open even with top opponents. In Cologne, SAW did absolutely everything.

It makes no sense to evaluate the results after IEM Cologne 2024 - the opponents were much weaker than at LAN. And in Atlanta there are representatives of the tier-2 scene, with whom SAW has been playing steadily lately. In the first match the Portuguese will get a convenient opponent for warming u♕p. Maybe in the USA the team will be lucky to win the first serious trophy in history.

Rooster rarely appears on the broadcasts of major tournaments, but careful viewers may have noticed the team at ESL Pro League Season 20. The Australians played th♚ree matches at the top event and were remembered for one winning card against MOUZ. However, the fleeting success was not backed up by anything, and the team quickﷺly left Malta and went back to play on the domestic scene. Now it has another opportunity to play in front of a bigger crowd.

Judging by the stats at ESL Pro League Season 20, Rooster played poorly. But the numbers only confirm the situation - Rooster is lagging behind the level of play even from the European stage. Among the players, only asap was able to overcome the positive HLTV rating. But there are some positive moments - the Aussies won half of the pistol 🎀rounds, and were also successful in half of the rounds for the ST side. In Oceania, Rooster is currently holding on to second place, behind FlyQuest in the HLTV rankings, and is still far from the 🔯championship in their region.

The team qualified for ESL Challenger DreamHack Atlanta 2024 through qualifications in Oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚceania, as FlyQuest received a direct invite. Usually teams from this region play a few matcheౠs and get knocked out of tournaments. Rooster is not remembered for moments that make it worth changing your opinion of oceanic teams. With a high probability, the team will take the last place in Group A.

No one doubts the success of SAW, the only question is how many rounds will the Portuguese give the Aussies? If not to take the match with MOUZ, where the Mice were not in their shape at all, BIG and Astralis gave on average 5 rounds per card. But there is room for sensation and chance in BO1. The bookmakers don't think Rooster will take more than 5🐼-6 rounds. But we think the Aussies will try to put up a fight against the ninth ranked HLTV.
