Prediction on match CS2 Cloud9 - Gambit Esports

Cloud9 and Gambit will begin their journey as part of DreamHack Masters Winter 2020 Europe. And we have to admit that the meeting will be interesting in details.

Cloud9 form

The 152nd team in the world ranking totally failed in FLASHPOINT 2. Cloud9 could not cope with the emotions received from multi-million dollar deals and suffered two defeats from Virtus.pro (0: 2) and OG (0: 2). After the team went to BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Showdown, where victories over NiP (2: 0) and Complexity (2: 1) created a real sensation. However, in the decisive match, everything fell into place, since the team lost to mousesports (0: 2) and did not qualify for the BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals.

It is likely that the team will build on Dust 2 and Vertigo. However, this is hardly enough for an equal fight with an opponent.

Gambit Form

The 20th team in the world rankings have not lost seventeen matches in a row. At the same time, the Russian team has already won three championships in a row - LOOT.BET Season 8, Nine to Five 6 and DreamHack Open November 2020. What is the victory in the last tournament, where Gambit defeated Illuminar (2: 0), Nemiga (2: 0), AGF (2: 0) and Team Spirit (3: 1). It is clear that the team is in excellent shape. However, now the team will have to prove its worth with opponents of a higher class.

Best Gambit cards:

• Inferno - 90% wins.
• Overpass - 82% wins.
• Train - 79% wins.
• Mirage - 72% wins.
• Dust 2 - 72% wins.
• Vertigo - 69% wins.

At the same time, one should not wait for the Nuke card, which the team traditionally does not play.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams did not have a single face-to-face meeting.

Prediction for the match Cloud9 - Gambit

I admit that Cloud9 surprised everyone at the recent BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Showdown - victories over NiP and Complexity are worth a lot. However, to counter this, I will present a great form of Gambit, refined by great team interactions. Therefore, I will risk to bet on the victory of the Gambit team with the odds of 1.83.
