Match Prediction: Heroic - Falcons | CS2 (CS:GO)
Gamers8 2023Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to keep an eye on the top summer CSGO. The biggest commercial tournament of the season, Gamers8, is gearing up for the Long Crest.
Gamers8 will bring together 16 teams in one place to battle it out for the championship title, as well as an impressive $1,000,000 prize pool. Heroic and Falcons are among their number.
The European clubs will meet in the first round of the play-offs. Given the format of the tournament, the match will be important, as the teams have no margin for error. Single-Elimination is spectacular and merciless.
Let's find out which team will be stronger in this b3 and in the next round Gamers8 will play with the winner of the pair Falcons/GamersLegion, and who will have to say goodbye to the championship.
Let's go.
Heroic uniforms
Let's start the analysis of the match by analysing Heroic's form. The top Danish club will play here as a clear favourite.
Bookmakers are confident in Heroic's success. The odds for their victory are at around 1.2.
It is hard to imagine Heroic in a different role in the match against Falcons. Still, the level of the teams is very different.
All year long, Heroic have barely left the championship podium. It all started with BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, where Heroic took the top 4.
Then there was IEM Katowice 2023 and an offensive TOP-2. The only spoonful of honey in Heroic's honey barrel was ESL Pro League Season 17, where the Danes didn't rise above TOP-8.
Then Heroic came back and had a streak of great tournaments. It was top-2 at IEM Rio 2023, top-4 BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and IEM Dallas 2023.
Before IEM Cologne 2023 Heroic won the BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023 and were also in the top 3 of the BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023/.
- Heroic line-up: cadiaN, stavn, TeSeS, sjuush, jabbi.
Heroic have maintained their fighting lineup for over a year. All players have a KD greater than one, but the headliner is stavn, who has 1.13.
Before their performance at Gamers8 Heroic attended another prestigious tournament - IEM Cologne. Being one of the main contenders to win the German tournament, the Danes made it to the play-offs of the competition, but failed to move beyond the first round.
Heroic lost to Astralis in the first round of the play-offs with a score of 0-2.
Heroic mappool
Heroic's best map is Nuke. There are 5 wins and 0 losses.
They like to play Overpass, where they lost only once. In three months on Overpass, they are 5-1.
One of the most frequently played and yet successful maps is Inferno. Heroic has a 9-3 statistic here. It also goes well on Ancient, where Heroic is 3-1 in matches.
The Danes don't play Anubis.
Team Falcons form
We continue the match analysis with an analysis of the Falcons' form. Here the French club will have to play the second number.
Bookmakers do not believe in the success of Falcons. The odds on the success of the French club are at around 5.
To be fair, that seems like a compliment. Falcons are clearly not up to Heroic's level and that's a fact.
The Falcons have been floundering all season long at all sorts of qualifiers and localised events. Among the "iconic" ones we can mention Thunderpick Bitcoin Series #2 and OMEN WGR Challenge 2023. Falcons took 2nd place in two tournaments.
There was also CCT West Europe Series #1. There Falcons reached the top 8. In addition, Falcons made it to the top 8 on the BB Playlist. Urbanistic.
Speaking about "big" achievements, we should mention RMR at BLAST.tv Paris Major. Falcons played two RMR events: at the European RMR A the team got TOP-11, and at the European RMR B the team got TOP-11. At the Major e in Paris was not able to play.
Before the Long Convergence Gamers8 Falcons played ESL Challenger League Season 45: Europe, where they finished TOP-16 and at the ESL Championnat National Spring 2023, where they finished in the position of TOP-10.
- Falcons roster: NBK, bodyy, lauNX, mhl, BOROS .
Before Gamers8 Falcons made a major roster change. The club welcomed 3 players at once: Belgian lauNX, who played for Sprout, mhL, who played for Endopoint and BOROS - headliner Monte.
Falcons map pool
Falcons have a very small map pool and a very small playlist lately. Only 3 maps.
Mirage played 1 time and that one won. Nuke played twice, lost once, won once.
There was also Anubis. There was a loss.
History of head-to-head meetings Heroic - Team Falcons
Earlier in the season the teams did not play each other in head-to-head meetings.
Heroic - Team Falcons predicted result on Gamers8.
I don't understand why Falcons should win. The French have a completely renewed squad, while Heroic are played and serious, so they should close the series 2-0.
Bottom line: Heroic win 2-0.
Bookmakers & Statistics
Heroic are listed as the favorites of the match in the majority of bookmakers and odds on them are equal to 1.092. Falcons, in turn, are the outsiders of the match. Odds on their victory are about 7.862.
