Prediction on match CS2 BIG - Extra Salt

BIG and Extra Salt will meet at the FunSpark ULTI 2020 Europe Final. These guys know how to amuse: some with a complete failure, and others with a lack of prospects in Europe. However, there is a possibility that this match will force you to reconsider your views on the balance of power.

BIG shape

The 12th team in the world ranking notoriously failed at ESL Pro League Season 13, losing even to the Australians. As a result, the team decided to reconsider their approach to business, accepting an invite to the Pinnacle Cup 2021. Of course, BIG was not without surprises here too, having lost already in the semifinals. Moreover, it cannot be said that the Germans played with strong opponents. It's just that the team is doing badly so far.

The latest results of the team:

• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to FunPlus Phoenix with a 1: 2 score.
• Lost to Renegades with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Endpoint with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat from HAVU with a score of 0: 2.

Best BIG cards:

• Vertigo - 75% wins.
• Dust 2 - 62% wins.
• Mirage - 57% wins.

It is important to understand that in this series we will be missing Train. However, BIG has problems not only with statistics.

Extra Salt Form

The 21st team in the world ranking conquered everyone in their region, winning all the latest championships. Against this background, the team came to Europe, where it had already performed in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021. Of course, Extra Salt was quickly punished by being kicked out of the tournament after the first match. However, the team has hopes, as the North Americans prepare for each game as for the last.

The latest results of the team:

• Victory over Levitate with a score of 16: 6.
• Victory over High Coast with a score of 16: 5.
• Victory over Triumph with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over paiN with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat from Spirit with a score of 0: 2.

Best Extra Salt Cards:

• Vertigo - 100% wins.
• Nuke - 93% wins.
• Train - 85% wins.
• Overpass - 80% wins.
• Inferno - 60% wins.
• Dust 2 - 56% wins.

We are unlikely to see Mirage here. However, I remain skeptical about these indicators.

Forecast for the match BIG - Extra Salt

I would not be surprised that BIG wins the first meeting of the tournament. All the same, the opponent allows you to enter the server as a favorite. However, I have doubts that the team will be able to sensibly assess the opponent's capabilities. Extra Salt clearly does not intend to serve a number in Europe, and must cling to one card. Nevertheless, I still propose to bet on the victory of the BIG team, otherwise it is worth thinking about parting with this roster.
