FURIA and BIG will compete for the right to get into the IEM Dallas 2022 semi-finals. I note that the losing team will not go anywhere and will go to the quarter-finals. In any case, the Brazilians look much more interesting than I expected. At the same time, BIG does not show anything supernatural, nor does it continue to cause concern due to its instability.
FORM FURIA
The seventh team in the world ranking reached the quarterfinals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, where they lost to Team Spirit without a chance. Now the Brazilian team came to IEM Dallas 2022, where they quickly got two victories.
And if success in the game with Imperial looks logical, then yesterday's victory over Cloud9 deserves respect. In fact, FURIA does not change anything in his game, but, as practice shows, not everyone understands how to suppress this aggression. Therefore, there is a feeling that it will be a little easier for the guys with BIG.
Latest FURIA results:
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 2:1.
- Defeated by Team Spirit with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Imperial with a score of 16:9.
- Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 2:0.
The best FURIA cards:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Vertigo - 80% of wins.
- Ancient - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 62% of wins.
- Nuke - 56% win rate
Let me remind you that the Brazilian team continues to refuse the Dust 2 map.
Form BIG
The 15th team in the world ranking failed at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, where they got only one victory over Imperial. Remarkably, the team did not get to IEM Dallas 2022 on its own, but due to visa difficulties, the Germans still received their invite.
However, here BIG justifies the trust of the organizers, having obtained two victories over NIP and MIBR. But in reality, the team played with two teams that are experiencing difficulties with the composition, from which it is not yet possible to speak unambiguously.
Latest BIG results:
- Lost to NAVI with a score of 8:16.
- Defeat from FURIA with a score of 10:16.
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over NIP with a score of 16:10.
- Victory over MIBR with a score of 2:0.
Best BIG cards:
- Dust 2 - 88% of wins.
- Mirage - 75% of wins.
- Nuke - 67% of wins.
- Ancient - 50% win rate.
In turn, the German team will definitely refuse the Inferno map.
Match statistics FURIA — BIG
As part of the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, the victory went to FURIA (16:10).
Prediction for the match FURIA — BIG
I have big doubts about the BIG game as the Germans usually make mistakes under pressure. And at the same major, FURIA has already won a victory, albeit in BO1.
Moreover, the Brazilian team confidently bends its line in the sense that it does not give up its style and continues to catch opponents on mistakes. If it goes on like this, then the guys can get into the TOP-4 of the championship ahead of schedule. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the FURIA team.
