Прогноз на матч CS2 Team K23 - Winstrike

K23 and Winstrike will meet at Winstrike CIS Cup Spring 2021. Both teams are in excellent shape, which makes the meeting even more interesting. However, this is where I look forward to the defeat of the favorite, which on paper is Winstrike.

Form K23

The 58th world ranked team failed to qualify for DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 Europe, losing two very equal matches. However, at the local level, the team lives up to expectations, having won the qualification for Winstrike CIS Spring Cup 2021. Along the way, the team advanced to the second stage of Snow Sweet Snow 3 Regionals without losing a single map.

The latest results of the team:

• Lost to VOYVODA with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Incas with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over HellRaisers with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over Trident with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over 100PG with a score of 2: 0.

Best K23 cards:

• Dust 2 - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 71% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.

Interestingly, the team is capable of playing on any map. However, we have seen too few matches so far to fully judge K23.

Winstrike Form

The 22nd World Ranking Team needs no introduction. The team consolidated its position at the TIER-2 level, at times showing a champion game. However, we must admit that in recent weeks Winstrike has slowed down a bit, which should be expected to make a sensation already at the start of Winstrike CIS Cup Spring 2021.

The latest results of the team:

• Defeat from HAVU with a score of 1: 2.
• Lost to Wisla Krakow with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Dignitas with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to Copenhagen Flames with a score of 0: 2.
• Beat Singularity 2: 1.

Best Winstrike cards:

• Overpass - 74% wins.
• Dust 2 - 69% win rate.
• Mirage - 68% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Train - 65% wins.
• Nuke - 61% wins.

Note that the team hasn't played on the Inferno map for a long time. However, we still cannot ignore the fact that in the last matches the team is doing a lot.

Personal meetings statistics

During the last season, the teams held two meetings:

• Victory of K23 (then Syman) in Nine to Five 2 with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory of K23 (then Syman) in the Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 6 with a score of 2: 0.

But let's not forget that then the teams played in different compositions.

Forecast for the match K23 - Winstrike

Taking into account the bad shape, I am inclined to consider the Kazakhstani team as the favorite. Moreover, Winstrike has not played in the BO1 format for a long time, which is fraught with certain threats. Nevertheless, I still suggest taking a chance and betting on the victory of the K23 team, which has been very much liked in recent days.
