Match Prediction: Heroic - Team Spirit | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 14Heroic and Spirit will meet in the second round of ESL Pro League Season 14. For me personally, the Russian team does not represent any concern, since the first round showed that it is too early to expect a good outcome. Well, the Danes skated through the North American guests, showing a good mood.
Heroic form
The eighth team of the world ranking quickly came to their senses after the scandal with HUNDEN, having confidently started in ESL Pro League Season 14. It's clear that the difference in class was enormous; however, no one expected such a defeat. Another thing to add is that the Danes kicked the North Americans into the Bad News Bears, allowing them to take just five rounds for two cards in total.
Recent Heroic results:
- Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat to Astralis with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Bad News Bears with a score of 2: 0.
Best Heroic Cards:
- Nuke - 82% wins.
- Ancient - 75% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
At the same time, do not forget that the team traditionally plays strongly on Vertigo and Mirage, while it is clearly not worth counting on Dust 2.
Spirit form
The 12th World Ranked Team won the Pinnacle Cup II before the international hiatus, albeit with problems. As for the start of ESL Pro League Season 14, the team looked good at first. However, after the successful first map, uncertainty began, which caused not only a failure on Inferno, but also a complete misunderstanding of what was happening on Ancient. And I think that with more Danes it will be even more difficult.
Recent results Spirit:
- Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Fiend with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over forZe with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Endpoint with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat to Astralis with a score of 1: 2.
Best Spirit Cards:
- Dust 2 - 79% wins.
- Overpass - 70% wins.
- Mirage - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 57% wins.
- Ancient - 50% wins.
It is worth noting that Inferno seems to be the team's weak point for a long time. At the same time, Vertigo is almost always banned.
Meeting statistics Heroic - Spirit
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Spirit's victory at IEM Katowice 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
- Heroic's victory in the IEM Cologne 2021 with a score of 2: 1.
And it seems to me that not much has changed since the last meeting.
Forecast for the match Heroic - Spirit
I do not think that the “dragons” are capable of taking points away from one of the leaders, not only of the group, but also of the championship. And again we see doubts about the playing condition of Spirit, whose chances are centered around Dust 2. In turn, the Danes are clearly embittered by the whole situation with HUNDEN, intending to prove to their former coach not with words, but with deeds. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Heroic team.
