Match Prediction: OG - Gambit Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Summer 2021OG and Gambit will meet as part of the IEM Summer 2021 Grand Final, which, in between, will be held in the BO5 format. And in this regard, I have practically no doubt that the victory will again go to the Russian team, which traditionally looks strong in this kind of fights.
Form OG
The 16th team in the world ranking not so long ago became the winner of Spring Sweet Spring 2, having closed in the BIG final. Now the team began to storm IEM Summer 2021, confidently going through all the opponents. Moreover, I have never seen such agility from OG, because, having gathered at the bootcamp, the team absorbed discipline and confident shooting. By the way, it's worth saying that the guys have never been so close to winning such a big championship. This means that the factor of motivation should not be ruled out.
Recent results OG:
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over NiP with a score of 16: 9.
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 1.
Best OG cards:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Mirage - 86% wins.
- Dust 2 - 71% wins.
- Inferno - 62% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
I have almost no doubt that the team will ban Vertigo, which will give us a chance to see the guys on Ancient for the first time.
Gambit Form
The first team in the world ranking was still able to play out already during IEM Summer 2021. If at the start of the championship the team lost to Vitality and fell into the lower bracket, then with victories over Astralis and Complexity everything fell into place. Already in the playoffs, Gambit managed to close two difficult opponents without a chance, finally regaining self-confidence. And I mean the guys are once again ready to get their hands on the trophy that will allow them to continue to dominate the professional scene.
Recent Gambit results:
- Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 0.
Best Gambit Cards:
- Vertigo - 92% wins.
- Inferno - 82% wins.
- Mirage - 80% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Dust 2 - 53% wins.
I believe that the team will again abandon Nuke. However, yesterday we saw an excellent team play on Ancient, which is good news.

Prediction for the match OG - Gambit
I have practically no doubts about the victory of the Russian team, which managed to get in shape during the tournament. However, at the same time, one should not belittle the merits of OG, which is holding its best championship at all. Nevertheless, in the battle of two almost equal teams, it is worth paying attention to the distance, which speaks in favor of Gambit.
Interestingly, the teams did not meet with each other before. However, I do not think that this fact will greatly affect the preparation process. Plus, you need to understand that the Russian team is doing just fine with the main cards, be it Inferno, Mirage or Dust 2. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Gambit team with Handicap (-1.5).
