Match Prediction: Imperial (br) - Finest | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Imperial and Finest will meet in the group stage of the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022. It's funny to see Finest in such a strong company, which won the last Pinnacle Cup 4 for fun. And I don't have high hopes for this team, because it's real rubbish. Of course, the Brazilian team, having shot at the Major, did not show anything. But in this particular match, Imperial has excellent chances to get the first victory in several weeks.

Form Imperial

The 14th team in the world ranking surprised at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022, stopping one step away from reaching the playoffs. However, then the Brazilian team failed in the open qualifiers for ESL Challenger Valencia 2022, as well as crashed out of IEM Dallas 2022.

Suffice it to consider the US tournament, where Imperial lost to FURIA and Team Liquid. It would seem that both opponents are from your region, but you lose to them in a salad. As a result, for me, the Brazilians do not seem like a strong team, although they are obliged to win in this BO1.

Imperial's latest results:

• Lost to Copenhagen Flames with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Northern Forces with a score of 16:14.
• Defeated by TeamOne with a score of 0:2.
• Defeat from FURIA with a score of 9:16.
• Lost to Team Liquid with a score of 0:2.

Best Imperial cards:

• Overpass - 90% of wins.
• Inferno - 79% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 56% win rate
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

I believe that the Brazilian team will once again abandon the map Ancient.

Finest form

The 31st team in the world ranking sensationally won the Pinnacle Cup IV. The team really jumped above its head, because up to this point it has shown terrible CS throughout the entire time that this roster has existed.

Then Finest continued to win, however, in other championships. But the level at which the team performs leaves much to be desired. Therefore, I perceive all these victories over BLUEJAYS through the prism of the garbage in which the Swedish team is brewing.

Latest Finest results:

• Victory over TYLOO with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over KOVA with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:1.
• 2:1 victory over BLUEJAYS.

Best Finest Cards:

• Mirage - 78% of wins.
• Inferno - 71% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 64% of wins.
• Vertigo - 54% of wins.

Let me remind you that the Swedish team refuses the Nuke card.

Prediction for Imperial vs Finest match

It suffices to ask one question: Do Brazilians respect themselves? If the answer is yes, then Imperial should, by experience, close these poor fellows from the expanses of the TIER-3 European scene. If not, then where are all those fans who so drowned for the team at the Major.

In any case, I simply do not believe in the prospects of Finest, because this team does not deserve to win any major championship. And what a LAN for a team that has no such experience. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Imperial team.

Imperial (br) are listed as the favorites of the match in the majority of bookmakers and odds on them are equal to 1.545. Finest, in turn, are the outsiders of the match. Odds on their victory are about 2.859.
