Match prediction

In the qualifying group of legends, it was very difficult to predict different outcomes of matches, and now we will see extremely difficult confrontations. The teams did not just reach and qualify for the 1/4 Major, which means they can do something. With all this, we can say a plus factor in the direction of the Russian team - this is a match on stage. The guys are already showing excellent results, and here there will be even more motivation. An interesting fact is that Spirit never made it to the Major bracket. The Brazilian team is not clear, then the guys merge, and later return and vice versa. Such a game cannot be shown on stage. Spirit victory.

On the evening of May 19, a confrontation will take place, within which the first semi-finalist of the ongoing Major CS:GO championship with a prize pool of $1,000,000 will be determined. The meeting promises to be very interesting and intriguing. Many esports fans will give their preference to players from Spirit and believe that they will be able to repeat the success of Spirit from Dota 2. Another part of the audience believes that FURIA has every chance to win this event. Both of them are right in their own way, but I want to look at this situation more objectively and show what else you can bet in order to stay in profit.

Team Spirit uniform

Now the players from Team Spirit are on the 14th place in the list of the best CS:GO teams according to the HLTV portal. The team added 9 positions during their successful participation in PGL Major Antwerp 2022. It is noteworthy that the roster started its journey from the very beginning and started from The Challengers Stage. At this stage, the team beat Imperial (#18 in the HLTV top), Eternal Fire (#28 in the HLTV top) and Astralis (#9 in the HLTV top). They failed to defeat G2 Esports (#5 in the HLTV top), however, it is impossible not to notice that the battle between the teams was great and ended in a series of additional rounds with a score of 19-17.

After moving to The Legends Stage, Team Spirit showed an excellent performance in every sense. At first, they fought FURIA without any problems with a score of 16-12. This is an important fact, since it is with FURIA that the players from Spirit will have to fight. Later, the team went through strong Danish teams represented by Heroic and Copenhagen Flames.

FURIA Esports uniform

The Brazilians from FURIA are ranked 11th in the list of the best CS:GO teams according to the HLTV portal. According to the majority of viewers and analysts, they are one of the brightest representatives of the Brazilian CS:GO scene. Unlike Team Spirit, KSCERATO and his teammates started their march to victory not from The Challengers Stage, but from The Legends Stage. This can play a cruel joke on them, as the CIS esportsmen can be more “warmed up” during the tournament. In the second stage of the Major tournament, FURIA defeated Team Liquid (#12 in the HLTV top), BIG (#16 in the HLTV top) and G2 Esports (#5 in the HLTV top), but failed to defeat NiP (#7 in the top HLTV) and, most importantly, Team Spirit.

Conclusion

On the one hand, Team Spirit is the dark horse of this tournament. The team objectively does not have the highest chances of winning, but shows very good results throughout the championship. First they went through The Challengers Stage, and then they gave a light to their opponents in The Legends Stage. In addition, the fact that the team has already defeated FURIA Esports in the previous stage of the Major tournament plays in favor of Team Spirit. In contrast to this, I want to point out the format of the match in which Spirit won. Bo1 encounters are always more random. In Bo3 fights, teams measure not only their skills on one map, tactics on the battlefield and aim, but also the approach to choosing maps and are already in a mental battle at the mapveto stage, which is undoubtedly important. In addition, FURIA Esports could have time to play in The Legends Stage and have time to train well before The Champions Stage. The Brazilians have more experience playing at such events and I am sure that their approach to the match for reaching the semi-finals will be very serious. Not the least important fact is that experts from bookmakers estimate the chances of FURIA winning at 54% against 46% for Spirit.

Given all of the above, I expect an approximately equal fight, which will be determined on the third map. FURIA plays well on Overpass, Vertigo and Ancient, while Spirit plays well on Ancient, Nuke, Dust 2 and Mirage. I wouldn't be surprised if Ancient, Mirage and Nuke/Overpass are among the cards played. Spirit has a good map pool, but FURIA will have to surprise them too. Bookmakers will generously reward players who guess correctly with the number of cards on which the participants in the match will play. For the Total market more than 2.5 BC cards offer a coefficient of 1.83, which is quite profitable, given the situation.

My choice: Total over 2.5 cards with odds 1.83

I feel that the 3rd quarterfinal at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 will be very interesting. Firstly, it is necessary to take into account the arena factor, which rather plays into the hands of FURIA since. this Team Spirit roster is not very experienced and relatively young. Secondly, the teams meet not in Bo1 (which was already at this tournament, where Spirit won), but in a full-fledged Bo3. At the same time, FURIA will not be a very convenient opponent, because those maps on which Team Spirit feels good, usually FURIA feels great to a greater extent. It turns out that the ideal option for Team Spirit would be Nuke and Ancient. FURIA's peak will most likely be either Vertigo or Inferno, where FURIA should cover Spirit well. On this I say goodbye to you! Have a good time and watch a good counter strike. Let's cheer for our guys!

The match was mathematically analyzed using HLTV 2.0 statistics. According to the results of this analysis, the Spirit team is much stronger than the opponent

My prediction: Spirit win Game

I share my opinion, but the decision to play for money is up to you. This is solely your responsibility. In every game, an outsider can win, so there is always a risk of losing.

Do not bet more than 5% of the pot unless you are ready to lose large sums of money.
