Прогноз на матч CS2 Outsiders - forZe

Outsiders and forZe will meet in the group stage of the Roobet Cup 2022. An intriguing derby, since the teams have already met each other at the same major, and then the honey badgers won. But we know perfectly well that since then Outsiders has managed to change its composition by almost half, as it seems, having lost in fire potential.

In turn, forZe still cannot jump above his head. And as the team finished with three defeats in a row in the Major, it continued to show a nondescript game. In any case, we are dealing with a derby where each team knows the opponent by heart.

Form Outsiders

The 16th team in the world rankings presented their updated roster with n0rb3r7 and fame, who moved from K23. We know that the team had enough time to prepare for the new championships and come up with something interesting.

As a result, the Outsiders performed confidently at the ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference, where they got two victories and went to the group stage of the next EPL. But it's definitely not worth judging by victories over Illuminar and Falcons, since these are teams of a completely different level. The real test of strength will begin with the "honey badgers" now.

Latest Outsiders results:

• Victory over Vitality with a score of 16:8.
• Lost to ENCE with a score of 8:16.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Illuminar with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over the Falcons with a score of 2:0.

Best Outsiders cards:

• Inferno - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 67% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 57% win rate
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

I believe that the Russian team will continue to refuse the Nuke card.

forZe form

The 23rd team in the world ranking so far is confidently performing in the playoffs of ESEA Season 41: Advanced Division - Europe, where it reached the quarterfinals.

Otherwise, the Russian team is not impressive yet, since recently it failed to qualify for ESL Challenger at DreamHack Valencia 2022. Along the way, forZe lost to the youth roster of MOUZ in the group stage of REPUBLEAGUE Season 3, having played overtimes on all maps. So think about the real level of training of the team.

forZe latest results:

• Victory over INDE IRAE with a score of 16:12.
• Victory over Ex-Team Singularity with a score of 16:2.
• Victory over Tricked with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Wolsung with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by MOUZ NXT with a score of 1:2.

Best forZe cards:

• Dust 2 - 88% of wins.
• Inferno - 71% of wins.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.

Let's not forget that the Russian team does not play on the Vertigo map.

Statistics of meetings Outsiders — forZe

As part of the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers Stage, the victory went to the Outsiders with a score of 2:1.

Forecast for the match Outsiders — forZe

It is likely that the teams will pick Inferno and Dust 2, where they have their own experience and look good. In this variant, we should expect a third map, since Outsiders is noticeably stronger on Inferno, as well as forZe performs well on Dust 2.

Otherwise, it is difficult for me to determine a favorite, since both teams are in a transitional period. Moreover, the Outsiders have just assembled a new roster, even though they got two victories over weak opponents.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
