Prediction on match CS2 Team Spirit - bankaPEPSI

Spirit and bankaPEPSI will meet in the first round of the EPIC League CIS 2021. It's a shame for the “dragons”, who not only lost their direct invite to the legends of the Major tournament, but also lost their condition since IEM Katowice 2021. However, here you don't have to blame fate, because the opponent allows you to take an easy victory and break into the leaders of the table.

Spirit form

The 12th team in the world rankings failed at DreamHack Masters Spring 2021, failing to play at the bootcamp. We can say for a long time that the team could have played much better, but the situation did not improve further. As a result, Spirit also left Spring Sweet Spring 1 right after the quarterfinals, where she was so neatly invited by the organizers. However, personally, I am confident that a team of this level has found the strength to approach the championship with a cool head, otherwise it will fail.

The latest results of the team:

• Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
• Defeat from G2 with a score of 16:19.
• Victory over Fiend with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat from forZe with a score of 0: 2.

Best Spirit Cards:

• Dust 2 - 86% wins.
• Overpass - 80% wins.
• Train - 67% wins.
• Inferno - 62% wins.
• Nuke - 57% wins.

There is no need to go to people with psychic abilities to understand about the Vertigo ban. However, the "dragons" need to carefully approach the map Mirage.

BankaPEPSI form

Remember HellRaisers? So bankaPEPSI, in part, is the direct heir to HellRaisers. They added xsepower and lyNNN to the piggy bank, thus getting quite an interesting lineup. Yes, the team qualified for the championship only on the flag, taking second place in their group. It remains only to understand how the guys have enough motivation to fight against the background of such rivals who have both opportunities and a completely successful start to the season.

Recent bankaPEPSI results:

• Defeat mysterious with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat to Galaxy Racer with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat from 100PG with a score of 13:16.
• Victory over ForceArena Lviv with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over SG.pro with a score of 2: 1.

The best bankaPEPSI cards:

• Train - 57% wins.

It can be seen that we have the base of HellRaisers before us. However, these guys should bring up other cards as well.

Forecast for the match Spirit - bankaPEPSI

I will be an optimist so as not to look for pitfalls where they should not be. Fuck motivation, because bankaPEPSI manages to fly 0: 2 from Galaxy Racer. Yes, Spirit has been in terrible shape lately. However, a team with such a promising (experienced) line-up is obliged to correct their mistakes and reach the peak of their form for such tournaments. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the Spirit team with a score of 2: 0.
