Prediction on match CS2 sAw - Budapest Five

sAw Will win

sAw and Budapest Five will compete for the right to reach the semifinals of the European Development Championship 1. The tournament is already coming to a close, which means that only the worthy should remain. And I believe that the Portuguese team has all the chances to easily pass their colleagues in the shop.

SAw form

The 25th team in the world ranking became only the second in the DreamHack Open December 2020, losing in the grand final to Virtus.pro with a score of 1: 3. Nevertheless, the Portuguese team came to the European Development Championship 1, where they secured a place in the quarterfinals with victories over BEZ ZP (16:10) and Espada (2: 0). At the same time, the team came across almost the easiest opponent, to pass which is a matter of honor.

Best sAw cards:

Inferno - 68% wins.
Vertigo - 67% wins.
Nuke - 65% wins.

But most importantly, we will not see the Mirage map, where the counterpart can close many rivals. However, the Portuguese have difficulties with Train, which is the main sticking point.

Budapest Five Form

The 66th World Ranked Team was tired at the end of this year. Even in the group stage of the European Development Championship 1, the team managed to lose Endpoint (8:16), but then dealt with Illuminar (2: 1) and forZe (2: 1). Nevertheless, the team went to conquer the Vulkan Fight Series 2020, where in the first round they lost to MBAPPEEK with a score of 0: 2. But this is not all for the Hungarians, as they went to ESEA MDL Season 35 Europe Relegation, where they managed to lose to LDLC (0: 2) and Illuminar (0: 2). So think about what the team is capable of in the upcoming series.

Best Budapest Five cards:

Mirage - 80% wins.
Vertigo - 57% wins.

However, the team is lame in Train, Inferno and Dust 2. Moreover, Budapest Five does not play on Overpass in principle.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams held two face-to-face meetings:

The victory of the Budapest Five (then Salamander) in the Home Sweet Home Cup 6 with a score of 16: 5.
SAw wins Home Sweet Home Cup 6 with a score of 2: 0.

Nevertheless, seven months have passed since that championship, so the Hungarians changed not only the organization.

Forecast for the match sAw - Budapest Five

I don't believe at all in the prospects of Budapest Five. The team is ready to retire here and now, so I don't think that it will fight the Portuguese until the last round. It is likely that the Budapest Five will approach the match in a relaxed state, leaving everything to chance. At the same time, the Portuguese team seriously accelerated, so you should count on him in this series. Therefore, I propose to bet on the victory of the sAw team with the odds of 1.25.
