Match Prediction: paiN Gaming - Team Liquid | CS2 (CS:GO)

paiN and Liquid will play as part of PGL Major Antwerp 2022: American RMR. Honestly, the Brazilian team shows a cool game, if you start from Vertigo. However, paiN has not yet played on the rest of the maps, while Liquid, despite the initial failure, continues to be the obvious favorite.

Pain form

The 37th team in the world ranking seemed to have a good start in this RMR tournament, finishing Evil Geniuses in the first round. However, the Brazilians were unable to cope with their compatriots from MIBR, missing a bunch of important rounds. However, paiN looks very decent so far, so I hope to see something sensible from the team, and not just late releases on Vertigo.

pain's latest results:

• Victory over Gaimin Gladiators with a score of 16:12.
• Victory over TeamOne with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over ATK with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 16:12.
• Lost to MIBR with a score of 23:25.

The best payN cards:

• Dust 2 - 88% of wins.
• Vertigo - 70% of wins.
• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 62% of wins.

I believe that the Brazilian team will get rid of the Inferno map.

Form Liquid

The 14th team in the world ranking reached the quarterfinals of ESL Pro League Season 15, after which they moved to Romania. However, the start of the RMR tournament did not work out for the team, as it managed to merge 00NATION. As a result, Liquid put itself in a difficult position, from where it gradually began to extricate itself. Yes, the defeat of TeamOne looks interesting, but not enough to forget the bay on Dust 2.

Liquid's latest results:

• Defeated by Players (Gambit) with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Heroic with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by NIP with a score of 1:2.
• Lost to 00NATION with a score of 8:16.
• Victory over TeamOne with a score of 16:3.

Best Liquid cards:

• Mirage - 62% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 60% of wins.
• Vertigo - 60% of wins.

Interestingly, the North American team is now ditching the Nuke map.

Prediction for the match paiN — Liquid

I can give "liquid" another chance, because with the game that was in the match against TeamOne, you can still return. paiN is a good team, but not enough to make a splash. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Liquid team. Although you can take a chance and take Handicap by rounds (+6.5) for paiN.
