Match prediction
G2 and FURIA will meet in the first quarterfinals of IEM Dallas 2022. The winner will advance to ENCE, which in the current circumstances is not the most desired pleasure.
As for this confrontation, G2 is still experiencing problems, although on an individual basis it began to look a little more stable. At the same time, the Brazilian team shocks with its instability, showing an extravaganza today, and losing to BIG tomorrow.
In this case, I have no prerequisites to believe in FURIA, against which G2 will be doubly interesting, given the recent defeat at the Major.
Form G2
The eighth team in the world ranking at IEM Dallas 2022 plays a little better than at the same major. Firstly, the team clearly pulled up the individual game. Secondly, G2 no longer has problems with opponents below the level (a clear example of this is the game against Movistar Riders).
Yes, within the framework of the tournament, the team has already lost to ENCE, but both maps with a score of 14:16 should rather be attributed to bad luck in certain moments. Otherwise, G2 managed to outplay Astralis and Vitality, showing interesting CS in the last match.
In this regard, there is every right to consider the team a favorite, especially against the backdrop of not the most stable Brazilians.
Latest G2 results:
- Defeat from FURIA with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 16:5.
- Lost to ENCE with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:0.
Best G2 Maps:
- Inferno - 100% win rate.
- Dust 2 - 64% of wins.
- Vertigo - 57% of wins.
At the same time, we understand that the team will definitely refuse the Overpass map.
FORM FURIA
The seventh team in the world ranking reached the quarterfinals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, where, as we all remember, they said a lot of unnecessary things, but lost to Team Spirit without a chance. As for the start at IEM Dallas 2022, the Brazilians showed good CS, having managed to outplay Imperial and Cloud9.
It seemed that FURIA did a little bit of work on the bugs to rid itself of style dependencies. However, the team had a different opinion, as the day before the Brazilians had lost to BIG.
Moreover, the impression was that the team again stepped on the same rake and began to crawl around the server. As a result, FURIA continues to seem like a team that is very easy to break - the main thing is to catch aggression a couple of times.
Latest FURIA results:
- 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.
- Defeated by BIG with a score of 1:2.
The best FURIA cards:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Vertigo - 82% of wins.
- Ancient - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
- Nuke - 50% win rate.
Let me remind you that the Brazilian team continues to refuse the Dust 2 map.
G2 meeting statistics - FURIA
Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- G2 victory at IEM Katowice 2022 with a score of 2:1.
- FURIA's victory at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 with a score of 2:1.
I note that in both cases we got the Inferno map.
Forecast for the match G2 — FURIA
Based on the last game of the Brazilians, there are some concerns about the condition of arT and the company. In turn, G2 is now playing much more confidently than at the Belgian Major. And the mistakes that the team made then on Ancient are unlikely to appear now.
Plus, G2 has already managed to meet with ENCE (showing an equal game), as well as Astralis and Vitality. Against this background, victories over Imperial and Cloud9 look faded. In addition, the wards of XTQZZZ are probably eager to take revenge.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the G2 team.
Bookmakers & Statistics
Now, the majority of bookmaker companies believe in FURIA victory. Odds on them are equal to 2.07. According to bookmakers data, G2 Esports are the outsider and odds on their victory amounts 7.063.
