Match Prediction: Copenhagen Flames - BIG | CS2 (CS:GO)
Elisa Invitational Winter 2023Copenhagen Flames and BIG will meet in the semi-finals of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023. I wouldn't say that the German team is the unqualified favourite, although the bookmakers also agree on that.
And there is a feeling that Copenhagen Flames will try to clinch this game, as the team has already gone far and is unlikely to want to stop there.
All in all, summing up all the factors, I would take a closer look at the three cards. Firstly, the Danes are not that weak. Secondly, BIG is in a tricky shape at the moment.

The 35th ranked team in the world managed to fail at the European Development Championship 7, but at the same time got off to a good start at the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 where they got two wins.
The Copenhagen Flames also reached the semi-finals of CCT South Europe Series 3 in which they lost to Bad News Eagles.
As for the start to the playoffs of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023, the Danish side has managed to outplay Young Ninjas and ATK, not the strongest, but not a failure either.

It is worth remembering that the Danish squad still refuses to play the Mirage card.

The sixteenth team in the world ranking is in a difficult gap, since just recently managed to drop out of the first round of the CCT West Europe Series 1 playoffs.
Further on, the German squad failed in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they showed signs of life at times, but spoiled everything with a defeat to Movistar Riders.
As for the start at the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023, BIG got a tough win over Monte, once again showing their weaknesses and inability to hold class.

The teams have not met before.
Copenhagen Flames - BIG vs.
I would not choose by cards, as it is a complete randomness here. However, it should be said that the Danish team can try their luck on Ancient and Anubis, where BIG does not do well.
In turn, BIG will probably have to pick Vertigo, where the Danish team has been failing lately. In any case, the Germans don't seem to be favourites, and Copenhagen Flames might surprise.
Therefore, in this case I would recommend betting on Total on Cards 2.5 more.
