Rare Atom vs Movistar Riders Preview and Predictions: ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023

The Rare Atin vs Movistar Riders matchup is the B group’s last opening match with a Bo1 game


This match will be Rare Atom and Movistar Riders’ first-ever encounter, and it’s hard to determine the favorite between these two names. The Spanish roster won last year’s ESL Challenger in Valencia, but their recent performance hasn’t been great. On the other hand, Rare Atom has shown some potential in the recent Asian RMR. Here is a quick preview of the teams if you are into CSGO betting.

Rare Atom

The chance to compete in the Major slipped away from Rare Atom after losing to TheMongolz at the Asian RMR. However, the Chinese roster put up a great fight throughout that event, winning two Bo3s against TYLOO and Twisted Minds. The squad will need either kaze or JamYoung to turn up in this Bo1 to ensure a victory against the Spanish opponent.

Movistar Riders

The Spanish roster is currently partaking in the European Challenger League for ESL Season 45, where Movistar Riders lost their recent match against EYEBALLERS even with the excellent performance from Martinez, mopoz and sausol. Getting lots of frags isn’t a weakness for this team, but they need to improve on their strategies to utilize the individual talents of the roster.
