Match Prediction: Vitality - Gambit Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Winter 2021Vitality and Gambit will compete for the right to advance to the IEM Winter 2021 semifinals and play against Virtus.pro. Interesting statistics of the guys' meetings, because Gambit has never defeated the French, moreover, in its current line-up. However, it seems to me that this time there will be no 2: 0, because the Russian team is too full after strong-willed victories in the group.
Vitality Form
The second team of the world rankings got off to a good start at IEM Winter 2021, beating MOUZ and NIP. However, in the final of the group, the French did not cope with G2, somehow losing to a banana on Inferno. After that, Vitality's quotes fell back to basics, and the team is not very impressive in terms of play. At the same time, ZywOo is also asleep, which has already failed the season and forgot about TOP-1.
Recent Vitality results:
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat against NAVI with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat MOUZ with a score of 19:16.
- Victory over NIP with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
Best Vitality Cards:
- Vertigo - 80% wins.
- Mirage - 67% wins.
- Dust 2 - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 58% wins.
- Inferno - 57% wins.
At the same time, the French have never played on the Ancient map.
Gambit Form
The fourth world ranked team had a good start in this tournament, breaking fnatic into Ancient. However, in the derby, the team did not cope with Virtus.pro, still showing a tight fight. Still, Gambit made it to the playoffs, playing two intense matches against FaZe Clan and fnatic. And I have a feeling that after this the team will be charged for the playoffs, especially since the opponent is not so simple.
Recent Gambit results:
- Victory over Entropiq with a score of 3: 2.
- Victory over fnatic with a score of 16: 9.
- Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over fnatic with a score of 2: 1.
Best Gambit Cards:
- Overpass - 82% wins.
- Ancient - 71% wins.
- Vertigo - 67% wins.
- Dust 2 - 57% wins.
- Mirage - 56% wins.
I don’t think the team will risk the Nuke card, which they don’t play at all.
Vitality - Gambit meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Vitality wins at IEM Summer 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
- Vitality's victory at ESL Pro League Season 14 with a score of 2: 0.
At the same time, the teams played on four different maps.
Prediction for the match Vitality - Gambit
I guess the French will pick Inferno/Mirage, while Gambit is comfortable playing Overpass. In this case, it is logical to see the Dust 2/Vertigo desider, which are quite convenient for both teams. However, personally, I will not dare to choose a favorite. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Total on cards.
