Match Prediction: OG - Team Liquid | Counter-Strike (CS2)

OG and Liquid will face off as part of the IEM Winter 2021 group stage. The North Americans fell apart with one foot, while OG had plenty of time to fine-tune their game and come up with something new. And do not forget that the Europeans look very confident individually, which can hardly be said about some Liquid players.

Form OG

The 15th team in the world ranking was sitting idle for a month and a half, because it did not make it to PGL Major 2021 and BLAST Fall Finals. Recently, however, the guys have been training tightly in Denmark, trying to end the season on a positive note. And in general, OG looked quite cheerful, if we take out the failure in the framework of IEM Fall 2021 Europe. In any case, I expect a good game from the team, since the opponent is definitely not in the mood to play to the last.

Recent results OG:

• Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Heroic with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over paiN with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.

Best OG cards:

• Dust 2 - 100% wins.
• Inferno - 83% wins.

The team will definitely not dare to enter Vertigo, as well as Overpass, where it has not been possible yet.

Liquid form

The 12th team in the world ranking is awaiting the end of the season, but for this they still need to play in two tournaments. At the same time, at the last BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021, the North Americans decided to cause problems, in particular, by beating the NIP, as well as taking the map away from Heroic. In any case, I doubt the prospects of Liquid, whose game is going according to the mood.

Recent Liquid results:

• Lost to FURIA with a score of 9:16.
• Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over NIP with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against Heroic with a score of 1: 2.

Best Liquid cards:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Vertigo - 70% wins.
• Mirage - 56% wins.
• Inferno - 53% wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% wins.

Let me remind you that the team does not play on Ancient. However, Liquid has problems on Nuke.

You have to understand the whole situation. It seems to me that OG is very much in the mood for the championship, while the North Americans are playing out. When it comes to maps, we'll probably look at Dust 2, Mirage or Inferno. In any case, I believe that the Europeans are mentally ready to close this season. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the OG team.
