Match Prediction: Extremum - Bad News Bears | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Fall 2021: North America RMREXTREMUM and Bad News Bears will meet on the final tour of the IEM Fall 2021 North America group stage. Victory is needed for both teams, and we talked about all the layouts here. Nevertheless, in my understanding the Australians seem to be a slightly more harmonious team, without pronounced weaknesses against the background of Bad News Bears.
EXTREMUM form
The 71st team in the world ranking on the second game day looked much fresher. Not only did the team impose a fight on Liquid, showing character in the ending of Mirage, but also the Australians defeated Extra Salt, thereby remaining in the race for places in the TOP-3 of the group. Yes, and it seems to me that today EXTREMUM will tear and throw, taking into account the alignments in the standings.
Recent results EXTREMUM:
- Victory over Dignitas with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over ATK with a score of 16: 4.
- Lost to paiN with a score of 8:16.
- Defeat against Liquid with a score of 16:19.
- Victory over Extra Salt with a score of 16: 5.
Best EXTREMUM cards:
- Nuke - 75% wins.
Moreover, after the international break, the team has not yet played on two maps - Ancient and Overpass.
Bad News Bears shape
The 48th team in the world ranking so far lives up to expectations, merging the favorites and closing the outsiders. With such scenarios, the team ended the second game day, draining the second half on Nuke with the Brazilians from paiN, as well as rolling around the poor fellows from ATK. But I hardly believe that Bad News Bears will have enough firepower against experienced guys in the face of EXTREMUM - the Australians were too good the day before.
Recent Bad News Bears results:
- Lose from Extra Salt with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat against Liquid with a score of 9:16.
- Defeat Extra Salt with a score of 16:13.
- Defeat against paiN with a score of 9:16.
- Victory over ATK with a score of 16: 1.
Best Bad News Bears Cards:
- Dust 2 - 75% wins.
- Nuke - 62% wins.
- Overpass - 50% wins.
At the same time, the team is unlikely to risk the Vertigo card, which they do not play at all.

Prediction for the match EXTREMUM - Bad News Bears
In this case, it is worth starting exclusively from the experience and level of play of the teams, since EXTREMUM and Bad News Bears are pairing up claiming access to the playoffs. And yet, in my understanding, the Australians are much stronger than the rival, who, well, has a very weak line-up for the North American TIER-1. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the EXTREMUM team with Handicap (-2.5).
