Прогноз на матч CS2 Sprout - Team K23

Sprout and K23 will meet in the first round of the Pinnacle Winter Series 1 playoffs. The winner of the meeting will proceed to the quarterfinals, where they will play Heroic. At the same time, I personally cannot single out someone as a favorite, since both teams have one or two strong maps on which they can shine.

Sprout form

The 23rd world ranked team started the Swiss round of Pinnacle Winter Series 1 with an unexpected loss to Tricked. However, then the team quickly gathered their thoughts, having obtained three difficult victories. Along the way, Sprout also performs at other tournaments, showing a good game. And in general, I have long noticed that the team looks great in principled meetings.

Form K23

The 19th world ranked team got off to a good start in Malta Vibes Knockout Series 5 reaching the final. However, in the decisive match, the team swam, literally giving up two cards. After this K23 was clearly trying to find the strength not to go on tilt. And yet, the team has already managed to show a good game at the start of this season, so in any case, K23 will not become an outsider in this game.

• Defeat from Endpoint with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over SKADE with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over SINNERS with a score of 2:1.

Prediction for the match Sprout — K23

While the Russian team is very strong on Dust 2 and Mirage, Sprout boasts the same on Ancient and Inferno. So it turns out 50/50 with the only caveat that we are unlikely to see Vertigo and Nuke/Mirage. However, the teams are in good shape, showing good results. Therefore, here I propose to bet more on Total on cards 2.5.
