Match Prediction: Heroic - NaVi | CS2 (CS:GO)

Heroic and NAVI will meet as part of the upper grid finals of the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023 group stage. It's hard to talk about the form of Born to Win so far, but I'll reserve judgement.

For their part, the Danish squad continue their march forward, beating everyone in their path. Here and at the Long Circuit of the championship Heroic confidently closed BIG, which once again speaks about the confidence of the guys.

As for NAVI, there was a hard victory over Astralis. And at some point it was obvious that there are problems in communication right now, and it can only get worse from here.

In general, I completely agree with the quotes, which speak in favour of the Danish team. Yes, and NAVI still need to give time to come together in a meaningful sub-structure. So here I would lean on a win for the Heroic team.

Heroic's form

The first team of the world ranking reached the semi-finals of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they unexpectedly defeated GamerLegion, after which they were similarly defeated by MOUZ in the semi-finals of IEM Dallas 2023.

However, Heroic managed to shoot in the end of the first half of the season, becoming the winner of BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, going through the whole tournament without a single defeat.

Moreover, the Danish team confidently stormed into the group stage of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023, where they defeated BIG without a chance and continued their journey to the top grid.

Heroic's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Complexity Gaming.
• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2:0.
• A 2-1 win over Imperial Esports.
• 2:1 win over Vitality.
• A 2:0 win over BIG.

Heroic's best record:

• Ancient - 86% wins.
• Nuke - 80% wins.
• Inferno - 69% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

Let's not forget that the Danish team steadily gives up Anubis.

NAVI shape

The European collective (now called as follows) has seriously revamped its roster, signing Aleksib (no joke), IM and JL, deciding to abandon its identity.

Born to Win recently travelled to the GG.BET Match of LeGGends 2023 exhibition championship, where they managed to beat Vitality on the Inferno map.

Moreover, the European team unexpectedly broke into the group stage of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023, where they defeated Astralis. Still, there are a lot of unanswered questions about NAVI so far.

Recent NAVI results:

• A 16-8 win over Vitality.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:1.

Best NAVI results:

• Nuke - 100% wins.
• Inferno - 100% wins.
• Overpass - 100% wins.

In turn, the European team continues to give up maps Vertigo.

Prediction for the match Heroic - NAVI

I will not focus on NAVI, as there is nothing to say about the team. Yes, the European team outplayed Astralis at the Long Run Championship, but the "Born to Win" were clearly not stronger.

In turn, it's much more interesting to talk about the condition of the Danes, who continue to go on their way. Moreover, Heroic as a whole leaves an impression of one of the most stable teams on the professional scene.

And the Danish team has a full map, so it won't be easy for NAVI. Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on the victory of Heroic team.
