Maç Tahmini: BIG - Grayhound Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)

BIG and Grayhound will try to determine the strongest in the third round of IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage. Despite the recent sensation from the Australian team, you can’t enter the river twice, and the stick shoots once a year.

True, on the other side is the BIG team, which loves to lose as an outsider and skid out of the blue. And yet, it seems to me that this time the German team will play from a position of strength, thereby taking the second victory.

Summing up, Grayhound has already squeezed out the maximum, otherwise I do not believe in the second victory of the team in the championship.

Form BIG

The fifteenth team in the world ranking had a mixed performance at the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B, where, on the one hand, they beat Vitality, but, on the other hand, they almost got knocked out twice.

Then the German team went to BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, but it would be better not to play there at all. As a result, BIG ingloriously lost to Sangal, knocking down their chances at the major.

However, at the start of IEM Rio Major 2022, BIG was smart enough to beat FURIA. However, the team was not enough further to defeat the Bad News Eagles, and here we are returning to the original one.

Latest BIG results:

• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over K23 with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Sangal with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over FURIA with a score of 19:16.
• Lost to the Bad News Eagles 11:16.

Best BIG cards:

• Mirage - 60% of wins.

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

Grayhound form

The 41st team in the world ranking almost failed in their IEM Road to Rio 2022 Asia RMR, but beat JiJieHao International in the lower bracket and qualified for the Major.

Somewhere there, the Australian team managed to get a victory at ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 15, but that's another story.

Then Grayhound came to IEM Rio Major 2022 at Grayhound, where they immediately lost to OG and, as it seemed, signed their relegation. But a miracle happened here, otherwise it's hard for me to explain the victory over Cloud9. In general, the team has exhausted its chances, as well as this should not happen again.

Latest Grayhound results:

• Lost to IHC with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over JiJieHao International with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over DGG with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to OG with a score of 5:16.
• Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 19:17.

Best Grayhound Maps:

• Dust 2 - 100% win rate.
• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Inferno - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 62% of wins.
• Mirage - 60% of wins.
• Nuke - 57% win rate

Let's not forget that the Australians have been avoiding the Overpass map for a long time.

Statistics of meetings BIG — Grayhound

As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, BIG won (16:7).

Prediction for the match BIG — Grayhound

I don't know what needs to happen for the Australian team to win again. Yes, BIG is throwing from side to side, because the team has not spoiled its stability for a long time.

However, Grayhound is so monotonous that I'm hardly ready to believe in a second miracle. Plus, the statistics do not speak in favor of the Australians, who in their region can fill any numbers, but here the situation is completely different.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the BIG team with Handicap by rounds (-4.5).
