The MongolZ vs 3DMAX Predictions

The MongolZ and 3DMAX will clash on Wednesday, September 4, in the first round of Group B at ESL Pro League Season 20. It will mark their first meeting since late July when 3DMAX won, but according to the top Counter-Strike bookmakers, MongolZ should get their revenge.

The MongolZ are 1.48 favourites to defeat 3DMAX, who are priced as 2.60 underdogs for the upcoming series. This does not come as a huge surprise, mainly due to 3DMAX’s recent dip in form.

Head to Head

The MongolZ and 3DMAX last met in July, when 3DMAX won.

The MongolZ Form

The MongolZ lost their lash clash with 3DMAX, yet they are priced as favourites for the rematch. Considering their form, this is not too surprising. Yet that comes with an asterisk.

Since 3DMAX eliminated The MongolZ from the Skyesports Championship 2024, they have played just six series and won half of them - against FlyQuest, Eternal Fire, and even Team Spirit. The three losses were against SAW (twice) and paiN Gaming.

Not the worst record to hold, but we have to take into account that MongolZ have not played a single match in three weeks, so they could be a bit rusty.

The MongolZ Squad & Team News

The MongolZ have not made any roster changes.

3DMAX Form

3DMAX had a very promising run in July when they won Skyesports Championship 2024 and then added a semifinal appearance at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 #2: European Qualifier. But since missing out on BetBoom Dacha, they’ve not been the same.

The French Counter-Strike team are now 4-7 from their last 11 series, with just four wins against GUN5, PARIVISION, Zero Tenacity, and Fnatic, while their losses came against Speeds, 9z Team, HEROIC, Nemiga, SINNERS Esports, Falcons, and HEROIC.

Even though this is not a terrible record to hold, it is also not fair to say 3DMAX are in good shape, so it is fair to question whether they can emulate their success from July and defeat The MongolZ again.

Verdict

The MongolZ v 3DMAX

The MongolZ and 3DMAX last met just over one month ago, when 3DMAX won in two maps, yet they are expected to struggle in the rematch. Given their most recent showings, that makes sense, albeit we must also consider that The MongolZ have not played a single official match in three weeks.

Talent-wise, you can give The MongolZ a slight edge, but not enough to take their side at this price. So, while 3DMAX have a lot to prove heading into ESL Pro League Season 20, this looks like it could be a very competitive series.
