Prediction on match CS2 paiN Gaming - Extra Salt

paiN and Extra Salt will meet in the DreamHack Open September 2021 North America semifinals. If the Brazilians played great in the group, then Extra Salt did not live up to expectations, finding its defeat at GODSENT.

PaiN form

The 42nd world ranked team shows a strong performance that won the DreamHack Open September 2021 North America group stage. And within the ESEA Premier Season 38 North America, the Brazilians are still going without defeat, not noticing anyone in their path. Plus, you should pay attention to the streak paiN, which reached ten matches.

At the same time, the Brazilians play terribly on Overpass, recently they have completely removed the map.

Extra Salt Form

The 25th world ranked team had a terrible group stage at DreamHack Open September 2021 North America, losing to GODSENT for some reason. Fortunately, two victories over Triumph allowed the team to advance to the playoffs, proving their dominance over weak teams. And yet there is a feeling that Extra Salt is a little tired of winning.

Recent Extra Salt results:

• Defeat Levitate with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Party Astronauts with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over Triumph with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat from GODSENT with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Triumph with a score of 2: 0.

Best Extra Salt Cards:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Vertigo - 90% wins.
• Ancient - 80% wins.
• Dust 2 - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 55% wins.

As far as I remember, the team, although they play on Mirage, is extremely rare.

Forecast for the match paiN - Extra Salt

Despite the statistical advantage of the North Americans, I want to draw your attention to this: six out of ten meetings between paiN and Extra Salt ended on three maps. This is understandable - the teams each have one very strong card, while the remaining pool can be considered equal. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on the Total on cards, even if I'm rooting for paiN.
