Counter-Strike: Benched gods vs Bushido Wildcats (BO3) - Exort Fiesta Group Stage


Game context
**Bushido Wildcats enter the Exort Fiesta Series 1 BO3 as clear favorites due to their higher world ranking (#84 vs. benched gods at #149), stronger recent form, and superior map win rate over the past three months.** The Turkish side has posted consistent results in the event, including 2-1 victories over Endless Journey and Raccoons, while maintaining a 70%+ win rate in recent maps with a stable core featuring high-rated players like Vej and cadnyx plus new coach ekg. Benched gods, a newer Russian roster with multiple mid-2026 additions, have shown mixed outcomes—solid qualifier wins but losses in ESL Challenger League—and sit lower in community and ranking metrics.
