G2 and NAVI will meet in the grand final of PGL Major Stockholm 2021, where they will compete for a prize of $ 1,000,000. There is no doubt that this final will go to the team from the CIS, since the history of the meetings, and the course of events of the championship, do not speak in favor of G2. In any case, it will be an interesting game filled with emotions. The main thing is that it doesn't end too quickly for the Balkan-French.
Form G2
The ninth world ranked team came to PGL Major Stockholm 2021 with a bunch of lost tournaments. However, in Sweden, the team caught the wave too quickly, reaching the playoffs without a single defeat. Yes, and in the playoffs, G2 began to tear and throw, first closing the locals from the NIP, and then snatching the victory from Heroic. Another thing is that among the Balkan-French, only NiKo stands out, while everyone else is quietly smoking on the sidelines.
Recent G2 results:
- Defeat Copenhagen Flames with a score of 16:11.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 16: 7.
- Defeat Entropiq with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over NIP with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 2: 1.
Best G2 cards:
- Ancient - 75% wins.
- Inferno - 60% wins.
- Nuke - 57% wins.
- Mirage - 53% wins.
It should be reminded that the team traditionally does not play on the Overpass map. At the same time, G2 has only played Dust 2 once so far.
NAVI form
The first team in the world rankings within the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 is still breaking. Well, in the Legends stage, the team won three victories, feeling problems only in the first game. Already in the playoffs "Born to Win" went through Vitality, and then completely smeared it on the Gambit server. After this, we can say with confidence that the trophy will go to Kiev, and s1mple will take the MVP of the tournament, and then the TOP-1 medal at the end of 2021.
Recent results NAVI:
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 16:11.
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 16: 4.
- Victory over NIP with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Gambit with a score of 2: 0.
Best NAVI cards:
- Nuke - 100% Win.
- Ancient - 80% wins.
- Mirage - 80% wins.
- Inferno - 75% wins.
- Overpass - 70% wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% wins.
There is no doubt that the team will again get rid of the Vertigo card. As for the rest, it is scary for the Inferno map, on which NAVI played only once in the framework of PGL Major 2021.
G2 - NAVI meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held three meetings:
- NAVI's victory in the BLAST Premier Global Final 2020 with a score of 2: 0.
- NAVI's victory in the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2021 with a score of 2: 1.
- NAVI's victory at IEM Cologne 2021 with a score of 3: 0.
At the same time, the only card that went in favor of G2 was exactly Dust 2.
Forecast for the match G2 - NAVI
Well, are we waiting for a repeat of Katowice and Cologne? Personally, I do not believe that G2 will be able to catch the wave, since NAVI is now in a frantic shape. And the whole success story of the Balkan-French is tailored to only one player, while Born to Win play as a team. Plus, in this game, no one is afraid of the audience, because practice shows that even b1t and Perfecto work 100%. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NAVI team with a score of 2: 0.
