Eternal Fire vs Heroic Prediction 30 January 2025

📢Which team will advance to the main stage of IEM Katowice following the upcoming match? In the upper bracket quarterfinals, Eternal Fire will face HEROIC. The core of the Norwegian organization previously lost to the Turkish team with scores of 8:13 and 1:13 on maps. Will the situation repeat this time? We'll try to determine that in our prediction.

Eternal Fire

📝After an unsuccessful end to the previous season, Eternal Fire strengthened their roster by signing a player from their academy - jottAAA. At their first tournament, BLAST Bounty, the team demonstrated excellent results. In the playoff stage, they defeated Vitality (2:0) and G2 (2:1), but they couldn't handle Spirit in the grand final (1:3). In their first match at IEM Katowice, the Turkish team faced not the toughest opponents from Complexity. Despite the second map going into overtime, XANTARES and company still secured a victory with a score of 2:0.

❗️It's worth noting that Eternal Fire wins the 1st map in 7 consecutive matches.

HEROIC

📝Under the HEROIC tag, a trio of ex-Sangal players are now competing, complemented by strong shooters SunPayus and tN1R. Over three weeks, they have adapted well to each other and have already reached the quarterfinals of BLAST Bounty. In recent matches, the team secured two victories over Liquid and one over 3DMAX, all with a score of 2:1. The only defeat for the European team was their encounter with Spirit (0:2). However, even then, they managed to win 11 rounds on the map Anubis.

Editor's Prediction

📊Both teams are showing good form at the start of the season and are likely to provide us with an exciting match. Although the Turkish team has recently been winning most of their matches with a score of 2:0, even against strong opponents, we won't risk betting on the same result in this match. In our opinion, a victory for Eternal Fire in this match, which could extend to three maps, is most likely.
