The MongolZ vs Eternal Fire Prediction 7 February 2025

The MongolZ

Eternal Fire

📢Who will win the first quarterfinal match in the IEM Katowice? The teams The MongolZ and Eternal Fire will compete for a spot in the tournament semifinals, where Vitality is already waiting for them. All recent head-to-head meetings between the teams have ended with three maps. Will the situation repeat this time? We will try to determine in the prediction below.

The MongolZ

📝IEM Katowice became the first tournament for the Mongolian team after almost a two-month break. Nevertheless, such a long pause did not greatly affect the team's performance. In the group stage, they managed to defeat Liquid (2:1) and GamerLegion (2:0), but unfortunately, they couldn't overcome Natus Vincere (0:2). Although in the quarterfinals of the PW Shanghai Major, The MongolZ did not win a single map against MOUZ, their chances of success are much higher this time.

❗️It should be noted that total on the second map under 22.5 rounds played out in 9 of The MongolZ's last 10 matches.

Eternal Fire

📝Eternal Fire reached great heights in the previous year and are showing equally impressive results at the start of this season. The signing of jottAAA has positively impacted the team's performance, which has already reached the finals of their first tournament - BLAST Bounty. Just a few days after the break, the Turkish team continued to demonstrate success within IEM Katowice. In 6 matches at the current event, they only struggled against Virtus.pro (1:2), losing the decisive map with a score of 13:16.

❗️Let's note that Eternal Fire wins the 1st map in 11 of their last 12 matches.

Editorial Prediction

📊Both sides are known for their aggressive play style, which is based on their high shooting accuracy. The teams are on an equal level and are very likely to once again use all three maps to determine the strongest. Nevertheless, we believe that the Mongolian team shows a more diverse game and is better able to adapt to opponents. Therefore, considering the odds, we are more inclined to bet on The MongolZ's victory, who have won 15 of their last 17 matches.
