G2 and FURIA will play in the fifth round of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, playing for a ticket to the championship playoffs. If you look from the side, both teams deserve to go to the quarterfinals. However, there is some feeling that G2 at this stage did not get her way, while FURIA exhausted the confidence limit with a zero loss from NIP. As a result, in this case, I look at the shooting and variability, which the G2 has more than enough.
Form G2
The fifth team of the world ranking performs ambiguously in the main stage of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Yes, we can recall two close defeats from NAVI and Heroic, but who cares when the team is hanging in the balance from relegation. So there is also an equal game against the Outsiders, which we managed to win only on the third map. As a result, G2 shows weak CS, which, it seems to me, falls on the shoulders of the captain. And if NiKo doesn't shoot (he's not his own at this tournament), the team is in big trouble.
Latest G2 results:
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:1.
- Lost to NAVI with a score of 17:19.
- Victory over Imperial with a score of 16:12.
- Defeat from Heroic with a score of 17:19.
- The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:1.
Best G2 Maps:
- Inferno - 82% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 70% win rate.
- Vertigo - 67% of wins.
- Nuke - 50% win rate.
At the same time, we understand that the team will definitely refuse the Overpass map.
FORM FURIA
The eleventh team in the world ranking is still playing ambiguously in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Yes, the day before I praised the Brazilians for the interesting CS that they had in games with BIG and Team Liquid. But in the last match against NIP, the team frankly swam. And if FURIA manages to catch on aggression, the team loses confidence and starts to crawl. As a result, the team's prospects are as vague as it can be, and I don't know if arT will be able to revive his guys.
Latest FURIA results:
- Defeat from paiN with a score of 0:2.
- Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 12:16.
- Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 16:9.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 16:10.
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 0:2.
The best FURIA cards:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Vertigo - 86% of wins.
- Ancient - 75% of wins.
- Mirage - 56% of wins.
Interestingly, the Brazilian team continues to refuse the Dust 2 map.
G2 meeting statistics - FURIA
As part of the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at IEM Katowice 2022, the victory went to G2 (2:1).
Forecast for the match G2 — FURIA
Another equal match, although what else can be expected from the fifth round, which decides the fate of the ticket to the playoffs. Honestly, after such a defeat from NIP, there was no confidence left in the Brazilian team.
Yes, you can remember not the most confident CS from G2. But in terms of shooting, as well as in terms of viscosity, NiKo and company are still ahead. I don't know in advance which maps will remain in the series, but the Overpass permoban will play into the hands of the Europeans. In addition, as the same match with NIP showed, the Brazilians do not succeed under pressure. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the G2 team.
