Team Falcons vs Eternal Fire Prediction 1 February 2025

📢Who will win the upcoming match at IEM Katowice? In the opening round of Group A, the teams Falcons and Eternal Fire will face off. In recent head-to-head matches, the Turkish team has not lost a single map. Will the situation repeat this time? We will find out in our prediction.

Falcons

📝The previous Falcons lineup did not meet expectations, despite significant resources invested in it. Changes were long overdue, and they finally occurred before the start of the current season. The sole remaining player, Magisk, was joined by a trio from ex-HEROIC and NiKo. By signing the core of the Norwegian organization, the "falcons" immediately rose from 26th to 10th place in the HLTV world rankings. However, their first tournament was unsuccessful. In the BLAST Bounty, the team defeated ENCE 2:0 but could not win a single map against Eternal Fire.

❗️Notably, Falcons lose the 1st map in 11 of their last 13 matches and in 6 consecutive head-to-head meetings with Eternal Fire.

Eternal Fire

📝Eternal Fire achieved significant success last year and started this one with excellent results. With the talented player jottAAA, who joined a month ago, the team is certainly capable of reaching even greater heights and has already reached the final of the BLAST Bounty. During the qualifying stage for IEM Katowice, the Turkish team also showed impressive play, defeating Complexity and HEROIC 2:0.

❗️Adding to the aforementioned statistical trend, Eternal Fire wins the 1st map in 8 consecutive matches.

Editorial Prediction

📊The Turks have won the last three head-to-head meetings with a score of 2:0, but each time one of the maps ended with a close score. The current Falcons lineup has potential, and we hope they will begin to unlock it at IEM Katowice. In our opinion, there is a high probability that the teams will exchange maps this time. Therefore, our choice is total over 2.5.
