Prediction on match CS2 Gambit Esports - Heroic

Gambit and Heroic will argue for the right to stay at IEM Katowice 2021. Admittedly, it is really difficult to assess the chances of this or that team. However, there is a small feeling that the Danes have not prepared properly for the championship.

Gambit Form

The 19th team in the world ranking did not notice their opponents at all in the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, beating Team One (16: 5) and mousesports (2: 1). However, at the championship itself, the Russian team could not cope with Evil Geniuses (0: 2), still showing the quality level of the game. Nevertheless, Gambit managed to multiply the quality by the result, again beating mousesports (2: 0).

Best Gambit cards:

• Overpass - 90% wins.
• Mirage - 90% wins.
• Train - 89% wins.
• Vertigo - 85% wins.
• Inferno - 64% wins.
• Dust 2 - 56% wins.

I believe that everyone has known about Nuke for a long time. At the same time, the team's play itself makes you only admire the amount of work done over the past six months.

Heroic form

The sixth team in the world ranking took only 3-4 place at the last cs_summit 7, losing to fnatic in the semifinals (0: 2). At the same time, even in the group, the Danes beat MIBR twice (2: 0, 2: 1), losing only to mousesports (0: 2). In addition, in the quarterfinals of the tournament, the team dealt with OG (2: 0). Already at the start of IEM Katowice 2021, the Danes beat BIG (2: 0), making everyone think that they hadn’t wasted time. However, the very next game with Spirit (0: 2) showed how vulnerable the team is.

Best Heroic Cards:

• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.

At the same time, the team has difficulties with Inferno and Train. In addition, the Danes have been banning Dust 2 for a long time, so it's definitely not worth waiting for this card.

Personal meetings statistics

During the last season, the teams had two meetings:

• Heroic won the qualifiers for DreamHack Open Leipzig 2020 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
• Heroic's victory at LOOT.BET Season 6 with a score of 2: 0.

However, we must not forget that since then Gambit has made a big step forward both in terms of play and morality.

Forecast for the match Gambit - Heroic

No one doubts that the difference between the CIS and Europe is minimal, if it exists at all. At the same time, Gambit is one of those teams that crossed the border with two feet, proving that they have crazy potential. The Russian team plays very convincingly, despite the mistakes, still achieving success thanks to their talent. The Danes are very depressed, which is why they make an incredible number of mistakes. Therefore, here I would prefer to bet on the victory of the Gambit team with the odds of 1.75.
