Match Prediction: BIG - forZe | Counter-Strike (CS2)
Pinnacle Winter Series 2BIG and forZe will meet in the quarter-finals of Pinnacle Winter Series 2. Right now, the German team has huge problems with game conditions and motivation, as recently it has started flooding stupid matches again. Well, forZe in this situation looks preferable, albeit with some caution.
Form BIG
The 12th team in the world ranking failed at the IEM Katowice 2022 Play-In, winning only one match. However, the German team went on to qualify for the Major, where they still lost to Wisla Krakow. Personally, I think that at some point BIG just gave up and stopped playing. For this, the team paid the price, which, coupled with the rest of the results, does not inspire confidence.
