Прогноз на матч CS2 Gambit Esports - Evil Geniuses

Gambit and Evil Geniuses will meet in the quarterfinals of IEM Summer 2021. Evil Geniuses have become a sensation of the championship, by some miracle, reaching the playoff stage. However, we should pay tribute to the team, which in every match tries to play on the weaknesses of their opponents.

Gambit Form

The first team in the world ranking recently won the EPIC League CIS 2021, showing a cool game at a distance. However, the team did not start IEM Summer 2021, because after the victory over Sprout, they psychologically failed to cope with Vitality, losing on two maps. Nevertheless, Gambit found the strength to slip through the lower bracket, first defeating Astralis, and then dealing with Complexity.

Recent Gambit results:

• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 3: 1.
• Victory over Sprout with a score of 16: 6.
• Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 1.

Best Gambit Cards:

• Vertigo - 92% wins.
• Inferno - 82% wins.
• Mirage - 80% wins.
• Overpass - 57% wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% wins.

I believe that the team will again abandon Nuke. However, in this case, there is a chance to see Ancient.

Evil Geniuses form

The 30th World Ranking Team came to IEM Summer 2021 and started to amaze. After the failure at cs_summit 8, I didn’t count on the team, which had lost its coach before the start of the tournament. However, Evil Geniuses was able to surprise with victories on Spirit and Heroic, in which it was one step ahead. Nevertheless, in the decisive match, the "Evil Geniuses" did not have enough shooting, which was the reason for reaching only the quarterfinals.

Recent results Evil Geniuses:

• Defeat against paiN with a score of 1: 2.
• Lost to FURIA with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Spirit with a score of 16: 9.
• Victory over Heroic with a score of 2: 1.
• Lost to OG with a score of 1: 2.

I would like to note that the team is playing very cheerfully on Inferno, Mirage and Nuke. However, it should be said that the statistics do not show the real level of the Evil Geniuses game at the moment.

Gambit - Evil Geniuses meeting statistics

During the current season, the teams held one meeting - at IEM Katowice 2021, the victory went to Evil Geniuses (2: 0).

Forecast for the match Gambit - Evil Geniuses

In this match, I expect to see aggressive play from Evil Geniuses, which brought two victories at the start of the championship. And if the team does not abandon its model, then it will get real chances to fight for victory in this match as well. At the same time, Gambit itself had a controversial match with Complexity, losing by some miracle on Overpass. Therefore, based on what I saw at the group stage, I propose to bet on Forum (+1.5) for Evil Geniuses.
