Prediction on match CS2 BIG - fnatic

BIG and fnatic will meet in the second round of ESL Pro League Season 14. The German team made a very strong impression at the start of the championship, without letting Evil Geniuses breathe. Well, fnatic fought, but still turned out to be weaker than NAVI, showing itself only on one single Overpass map.

BIG shape

The eleventh team in the world rankings broke the contract with XANTARES, which joined the new Turkish team. As a result, BIG found a replacement in the person of gade, with whom, in my opinion, it started perfectly at ESL Pro League Season 14. And the point here is not only in the victory over the frankly weak North Americans, but also in the ideas themselves, because BIG was always on a step ahead of the opponent.

Recent BIG results:

• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Liquid with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 0.

Best BIG cards:

• Vertigo - 77% wins.
• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Dust 2 - 72% wins.
• Nuke - 71% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

The team clearly did not work with the Ancient card, which forced them to return to Inferno. Well, the terrible numbers on Mirage shouldn't bother you, since the Germans have been playing great on the map for several seasons.

Fnatic form

The 65th team in the world ranking got rid of the ballasts, namely from JW and Golden, inviting mezii and ALEX to replace them, respectively. And keita from Complexity came to the rescue as a strategy coach. With this composition, the team tried to revive Cloud9, immediately losing to NAVI. And if there were still signs of life on Overpass, then Nuke is just disappointment and lack of ideas.

Recent fnatic results:

• Defeat from Complexity with a score of 0: 2.
• Lost to Fiend with a score of 1: 2.
• Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 10:16.
• Defeat to NiP with a score of 1: 2.
• Defeat against NAVI with a score of 0: 2.

Things are pretty tight with cards. We remember that fnatic didn't play on Nuke for a long time, while at the same time experiencing problems with Dust 2.

Forecast for the match BIG - fnatic

I do not think that fnatic will be able to stop BIG, which, apparently, is well prepared for the championship. And on an individual basis, the Germans are still good, which cannot be said about some fnatic players. It is clear that EG and NAVI cannot be compared in terms of competitive capabilities, but there was more confidence from the Germans. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the BIG team to win.
