Match Prediction: Akuma - NaVi | Counter-Strike (CS2)
StarLadder CIS RMR 2021Akuma and NAVI will meet as part of the StarLadder CIS RMR 2021 group stage. I'm already looking forward to meeting in terms of redemption as Akuma created the loudest topic of discussion last month. Now, close attention is riveted on the Ukrainian team, which clearly puts pressure on confidence.
Akuma form
The 19th team in the world rankings took third place at the EPIC League CIS 2021, which created a real sensation. Against this background, Akuma was able to reach the playoffs of the European Development Championship 4, from where it quickly dropped out. And at ESEA Season 37: Advanced Division, the team has problems associated with ambiguous defeats, which in no way correlate with 2: 0 over NAVI and VP.
Recent Akuma results:
- Lost from TPT with a score of 14:16.
- Defeat NLG with a score of 16:14.
- Defeat from DBL PONEY with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat against Pompa with a score of 14:16.
- Victory over Budapest Five with a score of 16: 9.
Best Akuma cards:
- Inferno - 86% wins.
- Dust 2 - 83% wins.
- Mirage - 73% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 67% wins.
It is interesting that the team has already played on the brand new Ancient map. However, the 4:16 defeat by ONYX does not inspire confidence.
NAVI form
The second team in the world ranking became the second at the last BLAST Premier Spring Final 2021 for itself. It should be said that the tournament turned out to be successful, not counting the failure at the start and the colossal frustration in the grand final. However, NAVI still looks like a team that can show results. And if Gambit hadn't happened, the team would have won gold for sure.
Recent results NAVI:
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 1.
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 2.
Best NAVI cards:
- Inferno - 75% wins.
- Nuke - 75% wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
It should be understood that the team does not play on Vertigo, along the way experiencing some difficulties with Mirage.

Prediction for the match Akuma - NAVI
Are we getting ready for the next takeoff of the "dark horse", or are we going to look at the logical Counter Strike? So here also with the line-up of Akuma, not everything is clear, since there are rumors around Sergiz. However, all other things being equal, Born to Win is three heads stronger than Akuma. And in such a situation, even underestimation cannot result in 0: 2. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NAVI team with a score of 2: 0.
