Match Prediction: NaVi - Vitality | CS2 (CS:GO)
PGL Major Stockholm 2021NAVI and Vitality will meet in the quarterfinals of PGL Major Stockholm 2021. Yes, in principle, the game pulls for the grand final. However, the French are now in such terrible shape that they have nothing to do next. Well, NAVI showed three phenomenal games that confirmed the team's intentions to win in Stockholm.
NAVI form
The first team in the world ranking came to PGL Major Stockholm 2021 as the main favorite. At the same time, already at the Legends stage, the team justified all the advances, showing us three confident victories. Moreover, the defeat of the NIP completely closed all questions about the motivation of NAVI. And if during these days the team does not lose its ardor, then this is an easy million dollars and the first victory at a Major for a TOP-1 player at the end of 2021.
Recent results NAVI:
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 16:11.
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 16: 4.
- Victory over NIP with a score of 2: 0.
Best NAVI cards:
- Nuke - 100% Win.
- Ancient - 80% wins.
- Mirage - 78% wins.
- Inferno - 75% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
There is no doubt that the team will again get rid of the Vertigo card. That being said, even Dust 2 doesn't seem like a bad choice against the French.
Vitality Form
The third team in the world rankings with great difficulty made it to the playoffs of PGL Major Stockholm 2021. Recall that the French had a terrible start in the championship, losing two BO1. And then the team rebounded three times, almost losing to Evil Geniuses, Astralis and Entropiq. There is nothing to do with such a terrible game in Stockholm. Yes, and I'm already tired of saying that some of the players in this roster are noticeably weaker in terms of their level and understanding of what is happening.
Recent Vitality results:
- Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 14:16.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 12:16.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat Entropiq 2: 1.

- Mirage - 78% wins.
- Vertigo - 70% wins.
- Dust 2 - 71% wins.
- Inferno - 64% wins.
- Overpass - 56% wins.
Let me just remind you that the French do not play on the Ancient card. At the same time, the team is not doing so well on other maps, no matter how the statistics show otherwise.

Forecast for the match NAVI - Vitality
I don't see the victory of the French team at all, otherwise it will be a real sensation. Yes, Vitality can prepare for an opponent in two days. But during this time it is impossible to improve your playing and understanding. The French have big problems with this.
Plus, Born to Win showed three confident games, simultaneously pulling up their weak cards. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NAVI team. Nevertheless, I do not expect a defeat, so I recommend additionally pouring on Forum (+10.5) in rounds for Vitality.
I'm really intimidated by a ton of expectations from Navi. From each iron: "NaVi is already in the final!" "Navi count the champion" "No one will take the cards from them." Why is this unnecessary pressure and high expectations. The disappointment and the hate, if anything goes wrong, will be even greater.
I'm even afraid to imagine the size of the heap of shit that will fall on the guys, God forbid. Probably the size of the moon.
In the meantime, the schoolchildren are kneading their fingers to write nasty things, we will drown for the Black and Yellow.
It makes no sense to talk about how the Navi came here, there is a feeling that the guys did not play in the Major, but in the qualifiers for Elisa.
Vitality managed to get out after two defeats, having issued three victories in a row. Impressive! Emotional French are morally fine. Although I would not say that Evil Geniuses, Astralis (goodbye legend) and Entropic are direct top rivals.
But I think Apex stopped dancing in front of the mirror when he saw an opponent in 1/4. I even think his smile has fallen asleep, like the rest.
Historically, the confrontation between these two teams has always been tight and hot. It scares. But looking at the current form, there is an advantage in the direction of NaVi (although what command you don't put now, it will be so).
Specifically with this opponent, it is really hot to put 2: 0, taking into account the turbulent history of full-time - was this in general?
The three-card bet should seem to be the default. Or a handicap of +1.5 on cards for one of the participants.
Out of sports interest, I will choose the winner (trite and obvious), but I keep total B or handicap 2 +1.5 for 1.95 in my sleeve.
Natus Vincere wins. I will not even sound such a kef.
"Not for the fact that his son's father beat his son, that he played, but for the fact that he tried to win back."
Be sane, put it wisely.
