Prediction on match CS2 Entropiq - Gambit Esports

Entropiq and Gambit will meet in the EPIC League CIS 2021 quarterfinals. Looking at the teams, we have the most equal series. However, I am looking at a calendar that is unfavorable to Entropiq, which has three BO3s in a row.

Entropiq Form

The 14th team in the world ranking, not without problems, reached the playoffs of the EPIC League CIS 2021, having managed to lose to Spirit in the salad. However, the team still managed to beat NAVI and Virtus.pro with a total score of 4: 0, which speaks of good psychological support. But I want to draw your attention to the calendar that tells the guys to play three matches in a row. At the same time, there is a possibility that the matches that take place one after the other cannot be postponed to an earlier date for the sake of the quarterfinals with Gambit.

Recent Entropiq results:

• Lost to Fiend with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over NAVI with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to Young Ninjas with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat from Spirit with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2: 0.

Best Entropiq cards:

• Overpass - 79% wins.
• Vertigo - 77% wins.
• Dust 2 - 75% wins.
• Train - 69% wins.
• Mirage - 64% wins.
• Nuke - 57% wins.

It is worth recalling that in this episode we will definitely miss Inferno. Well, for themselves, the team will probably choose Dust 2 or Overpass.

Gambit Form

The first team in the world rankings jumped into the outgoing car of this playoff, beating Nemiga in the last round. However, the team both played with mistakes and continued to play. It would seem that you get a colossal advantage in the first half, but over and over again you manage to pull your nerves and let your opponents in. And in such a situation, it is difficult for me to perceive the favorite, which is constantly being read by rivals.

Recent Gambit results:

• Victory over Akuma with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat from Spirit with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Trident with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat against NAVI with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Nemiga with a score of 2: 0.

Best Gambit Cards:

• Inferno - 82% wins.
• Vertigo - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Train - 62% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Dust 2 - 54% wins.

I guess it's not worth reminding you about the permanent ban of the Nuke card. However, even statistically, Gambit does not seem to be such a clear favorite.

During the current season, the teams held one meeting - at the Vulkan Fight Series 2020, the victory went to Gambit (2: 0).

Prediction for the match Entropiq - Gambit

A very interesting meeting that each team can close 2: 0 and go further. However, I am very confused by the Gambit condition. At the same time, the team is strongly read by each rival, which promises big problems. So there is also Entropiq, which, although it should play three matches in a row, has an advantage on such maps as Dust 2 and Overpass. Therefore, here I propose to put on Forum (+1.5) for Entropiq.
