3DMAX vs TSM Predictions


3DMAX and TSM will clash on Tuesday in the upper bracket quarterfinals at ESL Challenger League Season 48: Europe. This will mark their second meeting of the tournament after TSM bested 3DMAX in Group Stage 1, but according to the crypto betting sites, 3DMAX should get their revenge.

TSM enter this match as 2.35 underdogs to defeat 3DMAX, who are priced as 1.52 favourites on Stake. Considering TSM's recent form, it is hardly shocking to see them priced as underdogs for the rematch.

  • TSM are 2-4 from their last six series
  • 3DMAX are in great form
  • TSM have recently made roster changes

Head to Head


TSM and 3DMAX last met during ESL Challenger League Season 48: Europe group stage, when TSM won in two maps.

  • TSM 2-0 3DMAX – July 15, 2024

3DMAX Form


3DMAX have done well over the last month, showing immense improvement following a month-long dry streak. They won YaLLa Compass Summer 2024, placed third at ESL Challenger Katowice 2024: European Qualifier, and made the CCT Season 2 Europe Series #12 and #13 semifinals.

Even though 3DMAX were not particularly successful at ESL Pro League Season 20, they left a mark in the big event by taking maps off Spirit and G2 Esports. Yet it's their recent form that holds a bit more weight.

All five players have been averaging over 1.02 performance ratings over the last three months. Bryan "Maka" Canda leads the way with 1.14 and 1.13 in this tournament.

TSM Form


TSM looked very competitive in August and early in September, when they placed top eight at Elisa iNvitational Fall 2024. However, things took a sudden turn for the worse over the last month, with a shockingly bad performance at CCT Season 2 European Series #14.

Even though TSM placed second at European Pro League Season 19 at the start of October, their form is terrible, having won just one of the last five series and even that came against G2 academy Counter-Strike team, G2 Ares.

TSM have not done particularly well since the departure of Alexander "Altekz" Givskov, and it seems like they will need a bit more time to adjust to playing with sirah.

TSM Squad & Team News


TSM signed William "sirah" Kjærsgaard last month. The new addition has already played 14 series with the team.

  • Valdemar "valde" Vangså
  • Rasmus "Zyphon" Nordfoss
  • Frederik "acoR" Gyldstrand
  • Nikolaj "niko" Kristensen
  • William "sirah" Kjærsgaard

Verdict

3DMAX are in much better shape heading into this match, which explains why they are priced as favourites to defeat TSM and avenge their loss from the first round of the group stage. It does not help that TSM have recently made roster changes either, and while sirah is a solid addition, the roster seems to need more time to gel together.

Looking at the teams' map pool, TSM are not in a terrible spot, with a +52% win rate on six of seven maps in the rotation. But that number is a bit skewed as they've not been playing nearly as well of late.

The French squad have shown some flashes of greatness of late. They've not only done well against tougher opponents at ESL Pro League Season 20 but also had a fairly easy time beating lesser teams. However, they've recently had slip-ups against SAW, B8, and BetBoom Team so it is not entirely unlikely for them to drop one on Tuesday.
