BIG and mousesports will meet in the quarterfinals of the FLASHPOINT 3 upper bracket. I must say that both teams looked very interesting at the start of the championship. However, it's hard for me personally to pass by the crushing victory of the "mice" over fnatic, so in this series I prefer the mousesports team.
BIG shape
The eighth team in the world ranking continues to hold a relatively low bar. Not long ago, the German team managed to perform in the ESEA Premier Season 37 Europe, where they won two very difficult victories, while giving away Apeks and BLINK on the map. However, at the start of FLASHPOINT 3, the team miraculously beat Complexity, although on the same Nuke everything was not in favor of BIG. Nevertheless, the team won such an important victory and managed to break into the kings.
Recent BIG results:
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
- Beat the Apeks with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over BLINK with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
Best BIG cards:
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Dust 2 - 69% win rate.
- Vertigo - 60% wins.
- Mirage - 64% wins.
Interestingly, the team's situation is terrible with Nuke and Inferno. However, I find it very funny that BIG trained Train, and immediately after the championship she will be removed from the competitive pool.
Mousesports form
The 14th team in the world rankings show solid performance. We remember how a couple of weeks ago the team played four BO3s a day. In such a situation, there were fears that the "mice" would quickly run out and would not be able to prepare for the championship. But it turned out to be completely different, because at the start of FLASHPOINT 3 the team looked very confident, having closed fnatic without a chance. It is interesting that with such a game mousesports can calmly reach the final, because as such it has no rivals in the grid.
Recent results mousesports:
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from G2 with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over fnatic with a score of 2: 0.
Best maps from mousesports:
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 58% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
The team can play on any map right now. However, I hardly believe that mousesports will dare to enter Mirage or Vertigo.
BIG meeting statistics - mousesports
During the current season, the teams held one meeting - in the closed qualifier for IEM Summer 2021, the victory went to mousesports (2: 0).
Forecast for the match BIG - mousesports
My opinion is that in this match it all depends on the attitude of BIG. If the German team again approaches the matter negligently, it will quickly fly away from the "mice". In turn, for me, mousesports is the undisputed favorite of the meeting.
Firstly, the team already has experience of victories over BIG this season (it happened a little over two weeks ago). Secondly, the "mice" have now greatly tightened the main part of the cards.
Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the mousesports team.
