KOI vs Monte Predictions

KOI and Monte will clash on Tuesday, August 27, in the first tiebreaker match at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European Qualifier A. It will mark their second meeting of the qualifiers after KOI defeated Monte in round two, but according to the esports betting odds, the majority Polish squad will get their revenge.

KOI are priced as 2.20 underdogs to defeat Monte with the best Counter-Strike bookmakers, who priced Monte as 1.58 favourites. That is even though KOI won this head-to-head less than a week ago, which begs the question of what has changed?

KOI are 0-3 since their win against Monte
Monte are 1-2 from their last three
A very important series for both sides

Head to Head

KOI and Monte have met three times since July, and two series ended in Monte’s favour.

Monte 2-1 KOI – July 18, 2024
Monte 13-11 KOI – August 19, 2024
KOI 13-9 Monte – August 21, 2024

KOI Form

KOI haven’t won a tournament yet this season, but they did place second at ESL Challenger League Season 47: Europe and top-four at FiReLEAGUE Global Final 2023 in June. Since then, the European Counter-Strike squad have attended Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024: European Open Qualifier #1 and #2, yet didn’t make it too far in either.

Since their top-eight-place exit at Open Qualifier #2, KOI have played five games and won just two; against Monte (13-9) and ENCE (13-11), yet lost the most recent three against SINNERS Esports (0-2), UNiTY (1-2), and TSM (0-2).

It's not the most promising record to hold, but given their past success against Monte, it’s fair to question whether Stake has rightly priced KOI as underdogs for this series.

Monte Form

Monte will have played Passion UA at YaLLa Compass 2024 Summer before this series, so there are questions of whether they will put much preparation time into this game. Still, beating KOI should be Monte’s priority, as they are still chasing a spot in the Major RMRs.

Monte will enter this fixture with a mixed bag of results. They’re now 2-3 from their last five, with wins against UNiTY (13-6) and ENCE (2-1) and losses against KOI (9-13), Dynamo Eclot (7-13), and B8 (0-2). This is hardly an inspiring record to hold, especially considering Monte already lost to KOI not too long ago.

Verdict

KOI v Monte

Monte have beaten KOI twice in their last three meetings, yet they lost the most recent clash, so it’s fair to question whether they should be favoured here. They’ve also not shown great form of late, granted the same applies to KOI.

This looks like a series that is much closer to a coin flip than anything else. We can also take into account that Monte will play one more game before this, which could lead to some fatigue. This makes KOI an excellent choice at 2.20.
