Match Prediction: sAw - ex-Winstrike | Counter-Strike (CS2)
MDL ESEA Season 36: Europe - Premier divisionSAW and ex-Winstrike will compete for a place at ESL Pro League Season 14. The Portuguese already have a one-map handicap, as they made it to the final in the upper bracket. Therefore, SAW, for me personally, seems to be a clear favorite of the meeting.
SAW shape
The 37th team in the world rankings failed at Funspark ULTI 2021 Europe Regional Series 1, failing even to qualify for the group. At the same time, the Portuguese became the winners of the LVP Unity Spring Cup 2021. However, in general, the team's game still leaves questions. For example, I personally do not like the very structure of the SAW game, which is too boring and clumsy. Nevertheless, the Portuguese confidently reached the finals of this championship, with significant chances for ultimate success.
The latest results of the team:
- Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat Caronte with a score of 16:13.
- Victory over Sprout with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over ex-Winstrike with a score of 2: 1.
Best SAW cards:
- Nuke - 68% wins.
- Vertigo - 63% wins.
- Inferno - 56% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
However, here we will definitely miss one map that is inconvenient for the Portuguese (Mirage).
Ex-Winstrike form
The 23rd team in the world ranking failed in several tournaments in a row, being remembered only for the final in the framework of Snow Sweet Snow 3. But the rest of the team is not very impressive. For example, within the framework of the current ESEA Premier Season 36 Europe, the team fell into the “losers” bracket, from where it reached the final. But what is interesting is that it was SAW that ex-Winstrike sent to the lower bracket.
The latest results of the team:
- Victory over AGO with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat Entropiq with a score of 16:13.
- Victory over Nemiga with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to SAW with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over AGO with a score of 2: 0.
Best ex-Winstrike cards:
- Overpass - 79% wins.
- Vertigo - 75% wins.
- Mirage - 70% wins.
- Dust 2 - 65% wins.
- Train - 57% wins.
- Nuke - 52% wins.
Note that the team hasn't played on the Inferno map for a long time. But needless to say, given the good play on other maps.
Personal meetings statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Winstrike's victory at ESEA Premier Season 36 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
- SAW's victory in ESEA Premier Season 36 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
It is interesting that both matches are as similar to each other as possible.
Forecast for the match SAW - ex-Winstrike
I don't know what to expect from a meeting where one team has an advantage card. The Portuguese will clearly be determined to go to ESL Pro League Season 14. And SAW should definitely use such an advantage. Another thing is that ex-Winstrike is able to impose a fight, and therefore the team will definitely take one card. However, I would still suggest betting SAW to win as handicap matches are rarely lost.
