Прогноз на матч CS2 BIG - Imperial Esports

BIG and Imperial will meet at PGL Major Antwerp 2022. It is worth praising the Brazilians, who did the impossible, getting a confident victory over forZe. But I have doubts that the Imperial will continue in the same spirit, because experience is experience, but shooting every day will not work like that. As for BIG, the Germans have all the cards in their hands, and after a tough RMR tournament, the team has no right to fail.

Form BIG

The 15th team of the world ranking became the second in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A, closing FaZe Clan along the way. We can say that the German team failed in the subsequent qualification for IEM Dallas 2022, losing to Entropiq and MOUZ. However, BIG gave themselves some head start as they showed some really interesting CS in April. And as such, I personally do not see any problems on paper.

Latest BIG results:

• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2:0.
• 2-0 victory over Apeks.
• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Entropiq with a score of 1:2.
• Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 0:2.

Best BIG cards:

• Dust 2 - 80% of wins.
• Nuke - 71% of wins.
• Mirage - 62% of wins.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

Let me remind you that the German team has been refusing the Inferno map for a long time.

Form Imperial

The 32nd team of the world ranking has already managed to surprise at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022. It seemed that after the defeats from Bad News Eagles and Team Spirit, as well as the roll of wool in the game with the Mongols, the team had no chance. However, the Brazilians gathered themselves from experience and rolled out forZe, thereby jumping into the “legends”. However, I have big doubts about the future prospects of Imperial - I just do not believe that the oldies can fall apart on a permanent basis.

Imperial's latest results:

• Defeated by Team Spirit with a score of 6:16.
• Victory over Liquid with a score of 16:10.
• Lost to the Bad News Eagles 12:16.
• 2:1 victory over IHC.
• Victory over forZe with a score of 2:0.

Best Imperial cards:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Inferno - 82% of wins.
• Mirage - 60% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 56% win rate
• Nuke - 56% win rate

In turn, the Brazilian team will definitely abandon the Ancient map.

Prediction for the match BIG — Imperial

I see no reason to comment on the meeting, because I have an ambiguous attitude towards the Brazilians, and the German team still has to prove itself. But other things being equal, I just don't believe that Imperial will continue to play in the same spirit. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the BIG team with Handicap by rounds (-3.5).
