Прогноз на матч: Heroic - Team K23 | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Heroic and K23 will meet in the quarterfinals of Pinnacle Winter Series 1. It's unexpected to see a Danish team here, which, by its status, should play in tournaments from BLAST and ESL. And yet Heroic decided to roll into the new season in a way that deserves respect. Well, K23 has every chance to test such a favorite for strength.

Form Heroic

The fifth team in the world ranking failed the end of last season, losing all the important matches. And yet, the Danes themselves are a team of a different level, which obviously should not be forgotten. The only problem for Heroic may be the lack of playing practice, as the team has been sitting idle for two weeks. And don't forget that the team didn't really prove themselves on Ancient.

Heroic's latest results:

• Defeated by Astralis with a score of 0:2.
• Defeat from GODSENT with a score of 13:16.
• Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.
• Defeated by Gambit with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to NAVI with a score of 0:2.

Best Heroic Maps:

• Nuke - 57% win rate

And if the Danes never really played Dust 2, the team had problems with Ancient and Vertigo.

Form K23

The 19th team in the world ranking recently reached the Malta Vibes Knockout Series 5 finals, in which they gave the victory on their own. And yet, the team was not too upset, having a strong start in the playoffs of Pinnacle Winter Series 1. What is most interesting, K23 literally did not notice Sprout, thanks to which it can gain a psychological advantage in the future.

Latest K23 results:

• Victory over SKADE with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over SINNERS with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over MOUZ NXT with a score of 2:0.
• Defeat from HEET with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Sprout with a score of 2:0.

Best K23 Maps:

• Dust 2 - 89% of wins.
• Mirage - 86% of wins.
• Overpass - 75% of wins.
• Nuke - 60% win rate.
• Ancient - 50% win rate.

At the same time, the team has not played on the Vertigo map for a long time.

Prediction for the match Heroic — K23

Personally, I have doubts about the Danish team for several reasons:

• Heroic is just coming out after a pause.
• The Danes are not so perfect on Mirage (I am completely silent about Ancient).
• K23 managed to prove itself against big teams, beating Astralis and getting on BIG's nerves.

Therefore, here I propose to bet on Handicap (+1.5) for the K23 team.
