BIG and Cloud9 will play for the right to get into the grand final of the Roobet Cup 2022. Honestly, I don’t understand what is happening in this championship, because there is no logic even within the limits of online. It just feels like watching the Pinnacle Cup with ECSTATIC and wondering why these guys haven't won a major yet.
As for our semi-finals, the Russian team should collect their thoughts after a tight fight with 9z. Although BIG got its own difficulties in the quarterfinals, giving up an unthinkable game at Dust 2.
In any case, Cloud9 looks much more confident at a distance, just as the German team can at any moment repeat the fate of the meeting with the Turks and give up the unthinkable.
Form BIG
The eleventh team in the world ranking failed at the recent BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022, where they did not win a single match and went to pack their bags even after the group stage.
However, now the Germans are back online, where no coronavirus can have its say. So, at the start of Roobet Cup 2022, the team managed to close Entropiq and FaZe Clan, which immediately made it to the playoffs.
Nevertheless, here BIG managed to compete with Eternal Fire, uploading their game to Dust 2. Honestly, I don’t even want to remember this, but this impotence still flickers before my eyes.
Latest BIG results:
- Lost to ENCE with a score of 0:2.

It is worth recalling that the German team continues to refuse the Inferno map.
Form Cloud9
The fourth team of the world ranking came to the championship as the winner of IEM Dallas 2022. Although the team arrived purely conditionally, since it settled on the bootcamp.
It is worth saying that Cloud9 really got off to a great start in the group stage of the Roobet Cup 2022, where they got two victories over Complexity and Astralis. But what happened next?
And then there was the quarter-final with 9z, in which the Russian team was often driven around the server and almost carried forward with their feet. Well, at least Cloud9 managed to save its face, although the bell is unpleasant. And yet I believe more in a bad day (well, or jokes of the tournament) than in the fatigue factor.
Latest Cloud9 results:
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 3:0.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:0.
- 2:1 victory over 9z.

At the same time, the Russian team continues to refuse the Nuke card.
BIG meeting statistics - Cloud9
As part of the current season, the teams held three meetings:

- Cloud9 won the ESL Pro League Season 15 with a score of 2:0.
- Cloud9 won at IEM Dallas 2022 with a score of 2:1.
Looking ahead, the German team has only one won map against Cloud9.
Prediction for the match BIG — Cloud9
Based on the statistics, no chance for BIG. Of course, if the Russian team plays the same way as in the quarterfinals, then there may be a sensation. Although "against" the Germans says their game in their quarterfinals, where they gave a comeback from a score of 3:12, and this is on their map.
Hand on heart, even at this roflo tournament Cloud9 looked a little more confident, if you start from the whole picture. And BIG's maps aren't all that great either, as the team will once again start off with Overpass or Dust 2.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Cloud9 team.
