Prediction on match CS2 BIG - 9z

BIG and 9z will compete for another ticket to the "legends" of IEM Rio Major 2022. It's interesting here, since the German team seems to be the favorite, but 9z can cause trouble.

Firstly, the Latin Americans are de facto in their own field, which is why they use the help of the audience. Secondly, 9z is gaining from match to match, and if the attack is far from always successful, then in total the team looks good.

In turn, the German team can not boast of stability for a long time. And only thanks to the miraculously obtained victory over FURIA, the team turned out to be so high. So I wouldn't put much hope in BIG.

Form BIG

The fifteenth team of the world ranking almost failed at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B. However, after the Germans insisted on their own and played ingloriously at the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe.

Nevertheless, at the start of IEM Rio Major 2022, BIG even managed to outplay FURIA. However, the team then returned to its original position, somehow losing to the Bad News Eagles.

Nevertheless, until the Germans were eliminated from the championship, and even the day before they were able to cope with Grayhound Gaming. Now it remains to observe and think about what will happen next, but at a distance I still do not believe in BIG.

Latest BIG results:

• Victory over K23 with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Sangal with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over FURIA with a score of 19:16.
• Lost to the Bad News Eagles 11:16.
• Victory over Grayhound Gaming with a score of 16:6.

Best BIG cards:

• Mirage - 60% of wins.

At the same time, the German team continues to refuse the Ancient map, but has not appeared on Overpass for a long time.

Form 9z

The 28th team of the world ranking not so long ago managed to fail at the FlowFiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals, where they lost to Team Spirit without a chance in the semifinals.

As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here 9z immediately lost to GamerLegion, without even imposing any struggle. Well, at least further Latin Americans coped with Imperial Esports and remained afloat.

Well, the day before, the team miraculously managed to beat Evil Geniuses, which again suggests incredible luck. Although 9z again has nothing to offer on the game, except for early aggression.

Latest 9z results:

• Victory over MIBR with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by Team Spirit with a score of 0:2.
• Defeated by GamerLegion with a score of 6:16.
• Victory over Imperial Esports with a score of 16:11.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 19:17.

Best 9z cards:

• Dust 2 - 92% of wins.
• Mirage - 75% of wins.
• Nuke - 73% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 57% of wins.

It is worth recalling that the Latin American team is still refusing the Vertigo card.

The teams have not met before.

Prediction for the match BIG - 9z

It will be interesting to watch the Germans if they dare to leave Dust 2 - the opponent's strongest card. In turn, 9z can choose one of his three cards, since the opponent has problems everywhere.

Generally speaking, BIG has a slightly better chance of winning, but not enough to give such odds. Personally, it seems to me that the Latin American team will impose a struggle, or even dictate its own terms.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the 9z team.
