Match Prediction: fnatic - 1WIN | Counter-Strike (CS2)

fnatic and 1WIN will meet in the final round of the IEM Road to Rio 2022 European RMR A, where they will compete for the right to get to the IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage.

I will say right away that the game of both teams raises questions for me. However, fnatic, given the weight of the name and status, obviously failed more noticeably. Moreover, the team managed not only to lose to equal opponents, but also to B8.

In this regard, 1WIN has a much more interesting situation, since the team managed to be remembered for one sensation, and in general it looks preferable if we are not looking for easy ways.

In general, I tend to believe in the map from the Russian team, since fnatic can swim again at any moment.

fnatic form

The 19th team in the world ranking recently visited the ESL Pro League Season 16, where they even managed to get into the playoffs. However, already in the first round, the team lost to Team Liquid and safely flew out.

But fnatic's problems continued at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A. Moreover, the team started with a crushing victory over Aurora, and then almost closed FaZe Clan.

However, keita's men decided to complicate their task further and lost to B8, which was not readable at all. Fortunately, on the eve of fnatic won a victory over Eternal Fire, although I personally do not believe in the stability of the team.

fnatic's latest results:

• Lost to Team Liquid with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Aurora with a score of 16:4.
• Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 17:19.
• Defeated by B8 with a score of 9:16.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:0.

Best fnatic cards:

• Vertigo - 100% wins.
• Overpass - 86% of wins.
• Nuke - 75% win rate.
• Ancient - 70% of wins.

Recall that the fnatic team continues to refuse the Dust 2 map.

Form 1WIN

The 33rd team in the world ranking recently took second place in the CCT Central Europe Series 1, and also made it to the playoffs of the ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe.

Moreover, at the start of IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, the Russian team lost in the derby to Team Spirit. But then something happened to 1WIN, because the team got two victories in a row, including over G2.

And yet, the day before, the team failed to cope with Cloud9, showing a very weak attack on all two maps. To be honest, this is a very worrying premise as 1WIN is in danger of going bust. However, in addition to the lack of attack, the team should add in banal shooting.

Latest 1WIN results:

• Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 0:2.
• Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 9:16.
• Victory over forZe with a score of 16:14.
• Victory over G2 with a score of 16:13.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.

Best 1WIN cards:

• Ancient - 86% of wins.
• Vertigo - 75% of wins.
• Nuke - 70% win rate.
• Overpass - 57% of wins.

In turn, the Russian team has not appeared on the Inferno map for a long time.

The teams have not met before.

fnatic match prediction - 1WIN

For some reason it seems to me that fnatic will want to pick the Overpass card, because they probably watched the last meeting of their opponent. However, despite a mediocre attack, 1WIN can make a knight's move and put everything on the line.

And otherwise, the Russian team has good chances to compete, fortunately, it managed to show itself at the championship and even outplayed G2. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the 1WIN team.
