Прогноз на матч CS2 Copenhagen Flames - Apeks

Copenhagen Flames and Apeks will compete for the right not to be eliminated from the IEM Dallas 2022 Europe Closed Qualifier. Honestly, I like both teams. However, the Danish team seems to me to be more well-played and stable, if we start from a distance of several months. Therefore, the conclusion is that Copenhagen Flames must continue to fight within the qualification.

Shape of Copenhagen Flames

The 15th team in the world ranking recently failed at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe, losing to ENCE already in the quarterfinals. As for the start of this qualification, the Danes had two controversial matches here. On the one hand, the team beat EC Kyiv. On the other hand, Copenhagen Flames sensationally lost to Entropiq, which was hard to read. And yet I have no doubts about the talent of the team, which shows a fighting spirit.

Copenhagen Flames latest results:

• Victory over SINNERS with a score of 16:9.
• Victory over NIP with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to ENCE with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over EC Kyiv with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Entropiq with a score of 1:2.

Best maps of Copenhagen Flames:

• Mirage - 78% of wins.
• Nuke - 75% win rate.
• Vertigo - 71% of wins.
• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Overpass - 65% of wins.

It is interesting that recently the team has been actively playing Dust 2 instead of Inferno.

Form Apeks

The 35th team of the world ranking is playing with varying degrees of success in the qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2022. And in the Pinnacle Cup IV, the team is not going so smoothly. Yes, Apeks literally just outplayed Movistar Riders without a chance, showing reinforced concrete protection on Nuke. But I would not speak unambiguously, because a tangle of instability stretches behind the team.

Apeks latest results:

• Victory over 4glory with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over MASONIC with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by BIG with a score of 0:2.
• Defeated by GamerLegion with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2:0.

Best Apeks Maps:

• Inferno - 90% win rate.
• Mirage - 69% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
• Overpass - 62% of wins.
• Ancient - 62% of wins.

I note that in the last matches the team refused the Vertigo card.

Prediction for Copenhagen Flames vs Apeks

I won’t even dare to choose cards, because for me personally the Danes are a little higher in level. I do not argue that Apeks plays great in places. But the team has not yet shown anything in principled matches. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Copenhagen Flames team.
