Прогноз на матч CS2 BIG - fnatic

BIG and fnatic will play in the fourth round of IEM Rio Major 2022, where they will compete for a ticket to the championship playoffs. I don't know, but personally I still consider fnatic as a failed team, which has a lot of luck in places.

On the other hand, the German team is also not impressive, but continues to keep afloat in an incredible way. At the same time, both teams are on an equal footing, having both strengths and weaknesses.

So it's logical to consider three maps here, since BIG is definitely not weaker on Mirage, just as fnatic can surprise the opponent on Nuke, Overpass and Inferno.

Form BIG

The fifteenth team in the world ranking started well at IEM Rio Major 2022, where they got three wins and ended with only one loss from the Bad News Eagles, thus getting into the “legends”.

Here BIG outplayed Sprout in class, as well as outplayed MOUZ without any problems.

And yet, the day before, the German team failed to cope with FURIA, showing too raw a game. It can be seen that BIG swam in front of the stands, although before it only used all this hype. And in general, there was no confidence in the team, which could be alarming.

Latest BIG results:

• Victory over Grayhound Gaming with a score of 16:6.
• Victory over 9z with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Sprout with a score of 16:11.
• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 16:7.
• Defeat from FURIA with a score of 0:2.

Best BIG cards:

• Mirage - 67% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% win rate.

Do not forget that the German team continues to refuse the map Ancient, but has not appeared on Overpass for a long time.

fnatic form

The nineteenth team of the world ranking had an ambiguous performance in the first stage of IEM Rio Major 2022, where they managed to beat Cloud9, OG and 9z, but at the same time failed to cope with MOUZ and Outsiders.

As for the start in "legends", here fnatic got an unexpected victory over Ninjas in Pajamas. Although, if you remember the result of the Swedes, there is a bit of logic here.

In the second round, the team completely swam, getting only two rounds with Heroic. But again, fnatic managed to surprise, because the guys quickly closed ENCE the day before.

fnatic's latest results:

• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over 9z with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 16:13.
• Lost to Heroic with a score of 2:16.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 16:7.

Best fnatic cards:

• Vertigo - 80% of wins.
• Nuke - 80% win rate.
• Overpass - 78% of wins.
• Ancient - 67% of wins.

It is worth recalling that the European team has long abandoned the Dust 2 map.

BIG meeting statistics - fnatic

As part of the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022, the victory went to BIG (2:1).

Prediction for the match BIG vs fnatic

Personally, I have questions for both teams, because they do not indulge in stability, as well as their game is highly dependent on mood. In any case, I will not look for a favorite, because this does not make any sense.

If BIG can count on Mirage and/or Vertigo, then fnatic has a little more choice - Nuke, Overpass and Inferno. In general, I am more inclined to consider this match worthy of three maps.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
