Match Prediction: Heroic - Apeks | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Heroic and Apeks will meet in the ¼ finals of Pinnacle Winter Series 3. The Danes decided to warm up in an interesting way before their start at the EPL. At the same time, I have no doubts that Heroic has already reached the peak of its form. As for Apeks, here I doubt that the team will be able to impose a fight on the favorite.

Form Heroic

The fifth team in the world ranking started confidently at IEM Katowice 2022, having won all the matches at the group stage. However, in the playoffs, the Danes were quickly put in their place by throwing two cards. However, Heroic still seems like a very disciplined team that won't break easily. And don't forget that in the same Poland the team showed a really good game.

Heroic's latest results:

• Defeated by K23 with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over OG with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.

Best Heroic Maps:

• Mirage - 75% of wins.
• Inferno - 67% of wins.

Let me remind you that the Danish team does not play on the Dust 2 map.

Form Apeks

The 28th team in the world ranking failed to qualify for the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR, not even getting close to the goal. Nevertheless, the team got off to a good start in Pinnacle Winter Series 3, losing only once. However, at the start of the playoffs, Apeks showed far from the most confident CS, with which they almost lost to Eternal Fire. Therefore, I personally have doubts that the team will stand against the opponent's TIER-1.

Apeks latest results:

• Victory over ALTERNATE aTTaX with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Tricked with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by MOUZ NXT with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Wisla Krakow with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:1.

Best Apeks Maps:

• Overpass - 78% of wins.
• Mirage - 71% of wins.
• Inferno - 70% win rate.
• Vertigo - 57% of wins.
• Ancient - 50% win rate.

At the same time, the team does not play on the Dust 2 map, experiencing difficulties with Nuke along the way.

Heroic vs Apeks Prediction

It is clear that the advantage of Apeks is the amount of information on the opponent. However, I also understand that the Danes intelligently adjust their game to the opponent, thereby catching him by surprise. Well, let's not forget about the obvious difference in class. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Heroic team with a score of 2:0.
