Maç Tahmini: BIG - For The Win | Counter-Strike (CS2)

BIG and FTW will meet in the fourth round of the ESL Pro League Season 16 group stage. The German team has not yet lost the chance to get into the playoffs of the championship, but in order to do this, you need to win here and now, and also, preferably, not lose cards to just anyone.

As for the Portuguese team, it's better not to ask. Personally, I don’t understand exactly how FTW performs in such a tournament, and what the team was going to surprise at all if everything is so bad for them.

Therefore, in this case, I see no reason to worry about the result, even if BIG continues to demonstrate an unstable game that is literally teeming with individual and team mistakes.

But against the background of the Portuguese, tabseN and the company look like some incredible grand, so there can simply be no talk of any sensation.

Form BIG

The fourteenth team in the world rankings made some small changes to their roster during the off-season, bringing back k1to. But the German team obviously did not grow together within the framework of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where it began to fail even in the group.

The finish for BIG in Copenhagen was the defeat of G2, where the Germans did not show themselves in any way.

It was thought that the team would take the opportunity and prepare normally for ESL Pro League Season 16, correcting all their mistakes. But at the start of the group stage, BIG proved otherwise.

If we consider the result, then two defeats from the Outsiders and G2, as well as a victory over MIBR is a relative result. But in terms of the game, the German team had obvious difficulties. And if the guys showed two terrible maps against Outsiders, then the team has already fought against G2.

However, in the last match against the Brazilians, BIG again made them doubt themselves, as the first two maps experienced problems with the opponent's sluggish pace.

Latest BIG results:

• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 14:16.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over MIBR with a score of 2:1.

Best BIG cards:

• Dust 2 - 50% win rate.

It should be reminded that the German team is currently refusing the Ancient map.

Form FTW

The 53rd team of the world ranking shot in the long-standing ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference, where it got into the TOP-6 and qualified for the current EPL.

However, since then the Portuguese managed not only to fail at ESEA Advanced Season 41 Europe and OMEN WGR Retake Season 4, but also to sell their leaders, for which a separate disrespect.

As a result, FTW burst into the new season and immediately failed in the qualifiers for the RMR tournament. And there the team never looked at HLTV, which, as it were, hints at the real level.

But even at the start of the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, the Portuguese team started having problems. As a result, we saw three frankly failed fights, from which FTW took exactly zero impact. In general, the team clearly hit the odds, and I do not believe in some kind of sensation from it.

Latest FTW results:

• Defeat from 1PIN with a score of 9:16.
• Lost to the Bad News Eagles with a score of 0:2.
• Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.

Best FTW cards:

• Nuke - 71% of wins.

In turn, the Portuguese team usually refuses the Mirage card.

Prediction for the match BIG — FTW

Based on the possibilities of FTW and the problems of BIG, then the Portuguese should risk the Nuke card. Yes, the Germans have problems here, because they do not feel the map and timings, constantly making mistakes.

And yet, BIG is simply stronger in fact, while the Portuguese team's entire roster plays at a complete loss.

In general, I would not expect any intrigue, since in the previous three rounds FTW did not show itself in any way, without a chance flying off from their opponents.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the BIG team with a score of 2:0.
