The move marks Ambush’s re-entry into the competitive Counter-Strike world and move from the all French scene.

Prior to signing the players, Abush had a French-only line-up that featured gamers like David “?devoduvek?” Dobrosavljevi and Christophe “?SIXER?” Xia. The team were eventually disbanded in October.

Ambush’s new team will see Mikkel “?Maze?” Sparvath function as the in-game leader. The player recently signed with Ambush alongside Milen “?milky?” Iliev, following a four month stint with the team in late 2021.

Maze has not had the most productive start to the 2023 season. He was appointed as Janusz “?Snax?” Pogorzelski’s Let us cook in game leader before his recent signing with Ambush. Maze also played on Sprout however the trial lasted for two days before the captain was bid goodbye.

While speaking about the new lineup, ?Maze? stated that they all shared an important bond with each other and looked forward to achieving their goals together.

“After several stints with various teams, I have finally found a team that sticks together. We have set ambitious goals for both the team and the organization, and I look forward to continuing our work to achieve them in the future,” the in game leader said.

“As a leader, I will continue to motivate and inspire the team to do their best, and I am confident that we can achieve great results together.”

Ambush’s current CS:GO lineup consists of ?Maze?, NaToSaphiX?, suNny, milky and Joonas “?doto?” Forss.

SuNny was a player on TITANS throughout 2022, recording consistently disappointing results while in the lineup, which did some damage to his reputation. Prior to joining the team, sunNy saw some fame during his stint with teams like ENCE and MOUZ, and was ranked the 16th player worldwide by 2018.

Although ?doto does not have any history with Ambush, the player previously competed on the same line-up with milky under Adaptation’s banner. Doto spent half a year with HAVU prior to the signing, deciding to bench himself in February following the squad’s disappointing performance in the BLAST.tv Paris Major Europe RMR.

NaToSaphiX, the last player to sign, joined Ambush, making it his first team since playing for Complexity two years ago.

Ambush CEO Zouheir Chreih reveale he was proud of their new players and looked forward to leading them forward.

“It’s been an exciting time for our organization with our new merger [with Preasy] and our new line-up,” Chreih said.

“We’re proud to have secured so many talented players and experience in our team, and I’m happy to lead the team forward. I’m determined to take Ambush By Preasy to the top of the esports world and give our fans the best experience.”

AMBUSH ESPORT vs TRICKED ESPORT CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

AMBUSH ESPORT vs TRICKED ESPORT ESEA SEASON 34 PLAYOFFS BETTING PREVIEW

Ambush Esport and Tricked Esport will lock horns in the third round of the ESEA Season 34: Advanced Division – Europe playoffs, where one of the two Danish rivals will move directly to the upper bracket finals and take one step closer to promotion.

Tricked played well in the regular season and finished in second place with a 12-4 record, which put them only one win shy of Team Secret at the top of the table. Their most recent results, however, have left a lot to be desired.

Of their last 10 games in all competitions, Tricked won only five. While they beat 9INE (16-0), LDLC (16-8), Ambush (16-8), CR4ZY (2-0) and Sangal (2-1), they lost to Adaptation (16-19), Ambush (8-16), Orgles5 (9-16), Lyngby Vikings (17-19) and KOVA (8-16).

There is no hiding that Tricked are not as strong as they were back in 2019, when they sold their entire team to MAD Lions. The new roster features four unknown youngsters and Dennis “sycrone” Nielsen, who replaced Nicolai “torben” Amorim as in-game leader in May.

Even though Tricked no longer field a top-20 roster, there is reason for optimism. With an average age of just 20, there is a lot of room for growth in this squad. Teenaged rifler Oliver “kwezz” Rasmussen is already showing solid numbers (1.15 rating), so the future looks bright for Tricked.

Ambush Esport were among six teams to finish the ESEA S34 regular season with a 12-4 record. But whereas Tricked ended up in second place based on the number of rounds won and lost in regulation time, their fellow Danes had to settle for sixth under the league’s tiebreaker rules.

Ambush had a relatively easy time through the first two rounds of the playoffs. They defeat The Dice (2-0) and were awarded a forfeit win against Apeks, whereas Tricked had play CR4ZY and Sangal.

Apart from their appearances at ESEA, Ambush took a swing at the Cyber.Bet Summer Cup, where finished only fifth-sixth after losing to Illuminar (0-2) and FATE (1-2). They are also involved in QIWI Teamplay Season 5, where they won their group stage fixtures against 1win (2-1) and ESPADA (2-1) to book a spot in the playoffs.

AMBUSH ESPORT vs TRICKED ESPORT ESEA SEASON 34 PLAYOFFS BETTING PREDICTIONS

These teams have met twice in the last 30 days. Ambush won 16-8 at the cs_summer 6 qualifiers, but Tricked squared the ledger exactly with a 16-8 of their own in the ESEA S34 regular season last month.

Neither team are in great form and while Tricked’s 25% win rate across the past three months is not too inspiring, the young Danish squad have shown some promise in recent weeks. They also defeated Ambush not long ago, which suggests the underdogs should at least put up a fight here.

Ambush looked far better throughout June and deserve their favouritism on form, but we find it hard to believe this will be a straightforward win for them. This is an online match between two inexperienced squads who will most likely win their respective map picks, so the overs on the 2.5 line makes the most sense.

GG.Bet Winter Cup Last Chance Stage Betting Previews & Tips

Rocketlauncher$ vs Ambush Esports?

Rocketlauncher$ ($2.33) have had an uphill battle in the CS:GO GG.Bet Winter Cup group stage, where they struggled to make much noise, yet still edged past EXTREMUM in the decider match to earn the second seed and a meeting with Ambush Esports. The team consists of two former Team Questo players Peter “Shhhack” Belej and Michal “Emenk” Belej, who joined forces with
Pere “sausol” Solsona Saumell and two former Movistar Riders members Aitor “SOKER” Fernández and Raúl “DeathZz” Jordán.

So far this tournament, Rocketlauncher$ have had a bumpy road, with some inconsistent results, considering they lost to EXTREMUM (1-2) in the opening match of the group stage and barely made it past Team Brute (2-1), but then they followed that up with an impressive win against EXTREMUM (16-14 and 16-5) and close bout with FATE Esports (2-3).

Just like their Thursday’s opponents, Ambush Esports ($1.51) struggled to shine in the group stage, where they started strong with a 2-0 win against SJ Gaming but fell flat against Phoenix (1-2) and SKADE (1-2) to finish with a 1-2 record, which sat them at an underwhelming third place.

While not all too promising record, Ambush had their moments of greatness, as they got extremely close to defeating SKADE and even put up a solid fight against Phoenix. However, it’s easy to spot Ambush can be very inconsistent with their performances.

Out of their last 20 matches, Ambush on average lost 10 rounds in their losses, meaning they win barely 5-6 rounds in fixtures they end up losing. On the other side, in matches they win, Ambush on average lose 10.81 rounds, which suggests they are a hit-or-miss team when it comes to predicting their results.

Comparing them to Rocketlauncher$, we have one big concern for the favourites. Their best map is Inferno, where Ambush won eight out of their last 16 fixtures (50% win rate). On the other side, Rocketlauncher$ played only two fixtures on Inferno but won them both.
Furthermore, Ambush are playing with a stand-ins Danni “smF” Dyg and Sebastian “larsen” Larsen both of whom have been struggling with their performance with their new team.

All things considered, we believe this match will be much closer than what the odds suggest. Rocketlauncher$ had some iffy displays in the group stage, but the inconsistency of Ambush and their map pool leads us to believe Rocketlauncher$ have a solid chance at winning here. We believe Rocketlauncher$ can win at least one map, but with generous odds on the outright market, we will take our chances and predict Rocketlauncher$ to triumph.

EXTREMUM vs SKADE

EXTREMUM ($2.31) are entering their bout with SKADE ($1.52) as heavy underdogs which is not all too surprising, considering they have struggled with their performance throughout the group stage. Looking back, EXTREMUM defeated Rocketlauncher$ (2-1) but fell flat against FATE (1-2) and against Rocketlauncher$ (0-2) in their second meeting. While their 1-2 defeat against FATE would make it seem like EXTREMUM did a good job fighting off the first seeded team, we can’t look past the fact EXTREMUM lost map two and three 7-16 and 4-16 respectively.

SKADE on the other side had a slightly better run in their group stage venture, where they started with a 0-2 loss to Phoenix, but later found their rhythm as they defeated Ambush (2-1), SJ Gaming (2-1) and put up a solid fight in a rematch against Phoenix (2-3). While SKADE had their moments, we are a bit concerned with their tendency to drop at least one map, however, we have to consider that 28.6% of their last 35 matches ended in 2-0 win.

Based on the map pool of the two teams we predict SKADE will pick Overpass, where EXTREMUM hold onto a disastrous 17% win rate and are on a five-game losing streak. EXTREMUM on the other side will most likely pick Mirage where they are holding a 57% win rate, however, it’s worth noting SKADE won 62% of their matches on Mirage. The map pool clearly points towards a dominant win for SKADE as they simply don’t have a weak map EXTREMUM could exploit. As we see it SKADE should win and a clean sweep is a very likely outcome.
