Prediction on match CS2 OG - IHC

OG and IHC will compete for the right not to be eliminated from the IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage. The Mongolian team greatly surprised the day before, but not with a game, but with the ability to keep a grip and not lose morals.

However, on the playing side, IHC finished the game on two maps in a row from a score of 12:3, which causes concern. So there is also a more experienced opponent, who obviously will not make similar mistakes with the Brazilians.

It is clear that OG performs noticeably worse than expected, since personally I did not expect two losses at once in three starting rounds. And yet, in such a match, the team must prove its worth and move on.

Form OG

The fourteenth team in the world rankings showed an impressive performance at the recent IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B, where they almost made it to the “legends” at all.

Moreover, at the start of IEM Rio Major 2022, the European team managed to defeat Grayhound Gaming without feeling the opponent at all.

Still, OG got into a rut, managing to make two painful misfires after such a successful start. Although the team was very close in terms of the game with fnatic and FURIA, but, as it often happens, they lacked just a little - confidence.

Latest OG results:

• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Grayhound Gaming with a score of 16:5.
• Lost to fnatic with a score of 13:16.
• Defeat from FURIA with a score of 16:19.

Best OG cards:

• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 71% win rate
• Vertigo - 60% of wins.
• Overpass - 57% of wins.
• Inferno - 57% of wins.

At the same time, the European team continues to refuse the Nuke card.

Form IHC

The 47th team of the world ranking expectedly won the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Asia RMR, where again they did not meet any competition.

Then the Mongolian team took only the second place at the ESL Challenger League Season 42 Asia-Pacific, having managed to suffer two defeats during the playoffs.

As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here IHC started with two losses from Evil Geniuses and Outsiders. It seemed that the song was sung, but the day before the team dragged the meeting with 00NATION, although the Mongols still do not seem to be competitive.

Latest IHC results:

• Victory over ARAVT with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by Lynn Vision with a score of 1:3.
• Lost to Evil Geniuses with a score of 9:16.
• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 12:16.
• Victory over 00NATION with a score of 2:1.

Best IHC Cards:

• Nuke - 89% of wins.
• Inferno - 82% of wins.
• Overpass - 80% of wins.
• Ancient - 50% win rate.

Let me remind you that the Mongolian team has not played on the Vertigo map for a long time.

Forecast for the match OG — IHC

I would like to believe that logic will return to the tournament, otherwise the latest results are out of the picture. And yet, the Mongolian team is frankly weak, because this victory over 00NATION should not confuse the cards.

In turn, OG clearly did not finish the game, because in fact it looked cooler than fnatic and FURIA. Another question is that now BO3, where it is interesting to look at the European team.

Therefore, in this case, based on the difference in class, I would recommend betting on the victory of the OG team with a score of 2:0.
