Prediction on match CS2 Akuma - Team K23

Akuma and K23 will argue for the right to enter the playoffs of EPIC League CIS 2021. Surprised by the zeal of the Ukrainian team, which in this situation does not look much weaker than the opponent. However, we still have to highlight K23, which in this championship shows a very confident Counter Strike.

Akuma form

The 62nd team in the world ranking quickly qualified for the EPIC League CIS 2021. Interestingly, the team did not stop, causing a lot of problems for Gambit on Mirage. However, Akuma lost that streak, but quickly rebuilt and gained two confident victories over GROND and 1WIN. And now the team has to pass the main test of strength, since the last two opponents were weaker than K23.

Recent Akuma results:

• Beat Unique with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to Clutch Rayn with a score of 7:16.
• Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over GROND with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over 1WIN with a score of 2: 0.

Best Akuma cards:

• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Train - 50% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

It is interesting that the Ukrainian team is able to play on all maps. However, there is a feeling that Mirage will again become a permanent pick.

Form K23

The 33rd team in the world rankings hardly qualified for the EPIC League CIS 2021, having made one mistake in the qualifying process. Another point is that already at the start of the tournament, the team did not cope with Virtus.pro, clearly lost on the server. However, K23 quickly recovered with two dry wins. And if Marlian sounds so-so, then the victory over Nemiga looks very dignified.

Recent results K23:

• Victory over Save's with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over AVE with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Marlian with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Nemiga with a score of 2: 0.

Best K23 cards:

• Train - 86% wins.
• Inferno - 71% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% wins.
• Overpass - 55% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

Yes, the team has difficulties with the Nuke map, which should be discarded in this episode. However, in all other aspects, the team looks very confident.

Meeting statistics Akuma - K23

During the last season, the teams held three meetings:

• K23's victory in the qualifier for WePlay! Clutch Island 2: 1.
• K23's victory in the Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 8 with a score of 16: 7.
• K23's victory in Nine to Five 6 with a score of 2: 0.

I believe that the favorite has been found.

Prediction for the match Akuma - K23

It is enough to look at the variability of the pool and understand that K23 will be the favorite of the match. At the same time, we see that the Ukrainian team has never beat an opponent, constantly getting a cap. And there is a noticeable difference in the level of the players. And if only SENSEi plays at Akuma, then in the case of K23 absolutely everyone (even AdreN) is turned on. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the K23 team.
