Прогноз на матч CS2 Team K23 - sAw

K23 and sAw will play another slot in the European Development Championship 1 Grand Final. Once again, we see that the teams have not met for a long time. But despite the absence of a long history of meetings, the teams approached this match in optimal condition.

Form K23

The 38th World Ranked Team recently finished third in the MIDNITE Nine to Five 7, losing 0-2 to Gambit in the semi-finals. However, do not forget that the team won Endpoint in the quarterfinals (2: 0). As for the European Development Championship 1, K23 routinely made it to the playoffs, beating Copenhagen Flames (16: 9) and ALTERNATE aTTaX (2: 1). Well, in the quarterfinals of the tournament the team was stronger than SKADE (2: 1).

Best K23 cards:

• Dust 2 - 65% wins.
• Overpass - 65% wins.
• Inferno - 55% wins.

But we remember that the team does not practice Vertigo - one of the best cards in the opponent's asset.

SAw form

The 25th team in the world rankings got in good shape at the end of the season. After the silver medals at DreamHack Open December 2020, the Portuguese set off to conquer the European Development Championship 1, where they secured a place in the playoffs with victories over BEZ ZP (16:10) and Espada (2: 0). Already in the quarterfinals, the team dealt with Budapest Five (2: 1) without any problems, having made an application for the championship.

Best sAw cards:

• Inferno - 68% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.

At the same time, the Portuguese do not play on Mirage, which will not be a serious problem for their counterpart. But it should be added that sAw's Train is lame, where the K23 can roam.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams held only one face-to-face meeting - at the closed qualifier for DreamHack Open Summer 2020, sAw won (2: 0).

Forecast for the match K23 - sAw

I expect the teams to fight until the last round, so it's worth waiting for all three maps in the series. In addition, the teams have an extensive pool, thanks to which they can show themselves in all their glory on five out of seven maps. However, sAw still leaves mixed feelings, because the team plays spontaneously, which cannot be said about the opponent. Therefore, I propose to bet on the victory of the K23 team with odds of 2.06.
