Match Prediction: Team Spirit - Gambit Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)
EPIC League CIS Spring 2021 RMRSpirit and Gambit will meet in the second round of the EPIC League CIS 2021. The signboard may well pull to some semi-final. However, the lot decided to throw the teams into the very thick of it in order to predetermine the favorite and outsider of the group stage in advance.
Spirit form
The 12th team in the world rankings completely failed at DreamHack Masters Spring 2021, and even the bootcamp in Serbia did not benefit. Interestingly, right after that the team came to Spring Sweet Spring 1, which they left after the quarterfinals. However, we are interested in EPIC League CIS 2021, within which the “dragons” have already won their first victory. It is interesting that Spirit did not notice the opponent at all, making it clear that everything is fine with the preparation now.
Recent results of the team:
- 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.
- Victory over bankaPEPSI with a score of 2: 0.
Best Spirit Cards:
- Dust 2 - 88% wins.
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Train - 67% wins.
- Inferno - 62% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
I guess it won't come as a surprise that the team will ban Vertigo. However, under current conditions, it is much worse for Mirage, where Spirit has big problems in terms of tactics and variety.
Gambit Form
The leader of the world rating dry lost his last grand final DreamHack Masters Spring 2021. Then the team was simply outplayed and shot, which had not happened with the guys for a long time. But then the start of the EPIC League CIS 2021 happened, which Gambit decided to play home. As they say, receive and sign. What happened on the first map with Akuma is a real thriller. Another thing is that the guys were able to put the squeeze on and win the series, but the residue remained.
Recent Gambit results:
- Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against NAVI with a score of 0: 3.
- Victory over Akuma with a score of 2: 0.
Best Gambit Cards:
- Vertigo - 82% wins.
- Mirage - 82% wins.
- Inferno - 73% wins.
- Dust 2 - 69% win rate.
- Train - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 53% wins.
I guess it's not worth reminding about the permanent ban of the Nuke card. However, I'm not sure if Gambit wants to play on Train right now.
Spirit - Gambit meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held three meetings:
- Gambit wins the DreamHack Open January 2021 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
- Gambit's victory at IEM Katowice 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
- Gambit wins the Pinnacle Cup 2021 with a score of 2: 1.
Looking even further, these teams often stretch the streak to three cards.
Prediction for the match Spirit - Gambit
Personally, it seemed to me that Gambit has certain difficulties. The guys went home, which is not entirely comfortable for them. Another point is Spirit's excellent play at the start of the championship - the team had no problems with an outsider at all, which resulted in a quick defeat. However, I see that these teams have been sharpening their teeth for a long time, which is why each episode is fraught with a sea of emotions and struggle. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Card Total.
