Maç Tahmini: Team Liquid - FURIA | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Team Liquid and FURIA will compete for the last ticket to the playoffs of IEM Cologne 2022. Very interesting results, since none of the teams presented personally seemed to me a contender for getting into the TOP-6 of the championship.

And yet we must pay tribute to both teams who squeeze the maximum out of themselves. And yet, I like the North American team a little more now, since YEKINDAR gives a lot more space in its free role, on which you can catch the aggression from FURIA.

Form Team Liquid

The 15th team of the world ranking had an unsuccessful start in the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022, having lost the actually won game with Team Spirit.

However, the North American team changed further, showing two cool and interesting matches in terms of dynamics. And if the victory over the Brazilians from 00NATION does not look so clear, then the removal of Cloud9 can already be considered as an application for entering the playoffs.

Latest Team Liquid results:

• Victory over MIBR with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.
• Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over 00NATION with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 2:0.

The best maps of Team Liquid:

• Mirage - 80% of wins.
• Ancient - 70% of wins.
• Vertigo - 64% of wins.
• Inferno - 60% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% win rate.

At the same time, the North American team stopped showing up on the Nuke map.

FORM FURIA

The eighth team in the world ranking just recently failed at the ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack, where they did not win a single map and showed some kind of monstrous game.

So, at the start of the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022, the Brazilian team lost to Astralis without a chance, having run into the same rake. Although further FURIA managed to surprise everyone, first knocking Outsiders out of the account, and then knocking Team Spirit out of the tournament.

Latest FURIA results:

• Lost to Sprout with a score of 10:16.
• Defeated by 00NATION with a score of 0:2.
• Defeated by Astralis with a score of 0:2.
• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 2:1.

The best FURIA cards:

• Overpass - 80% of wins.
• Vertigo - 69% of wins.
• Mirage - 57% of wins.
• Ancient - 50% win rate.

It is worth recalling that the Brazilian team continues to refuse the Dust 2 map.

Match statistics Team Liquid — FURIA

As part of the current season, the teams had one meeting - at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, the victory went to FURIA (16:9).

Prediction for the match Team Liquid — FURIA

If we start from a pure game, then the North Americans seemed to me a little more convincing in terms of the current structure. Of course, you can praise the Brazilians for the character and revolution on the Mirage map, but I don't fully believe that FURIA is back after all these defeats. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Team Liquid to win.
