Match Prediction: OG - NaVi | Counter-Strike (CS2)
BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022OG and NAVI will meet as part of the BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 semi-finals. As they say, you can't step into the same river, and the stick shoots once a year. Of course, OG has already become a championship sensation with two wins in the group stage.
However, after today's adventures, NAVI will clearly be fully motivated, since one revenge has been taken, and another offender is next in line. In any case, "Born to Win" were stronger last time, even if they flooded their rounds.
Now it’s just hard for me to imagine that OG will beat NAVI for the second time in a row, especially if they will reach the grand final of a big championship. No, if this happens, then the organization will have to buy degster. But I do not believe in fairy tales and the story of Cinderella at all, because ruggah's wards in the group sometimes took what was not taken.
So there is also NAVI, which is inspired by the victory over FaZe Clan and is now the main favorite of the entire championship. Especially when you crush the top 1 team in the world ranking with a score of 16:6 and 16:1.
Form OG
The 24th team in the world ranking has recently failed at the Global Esports Tour 2022: Dubai, where they got only one victory over Complexity. And in the match with the North Americans, the team had problems, as it managed to give away the Overpass card. Further, nexa and the company lost to NIP without a chance, having flown out of the UAE.
As for our BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022, a couple of days before the start of the championship, it became known about the mantuu disease, which was replaced by degster. It is clear that the former Team Spirit player head to head is stronger, but not that much.
As a result, OG broke the group stage of the tournament, first dropping NAVI, and then closed ENCE with a dry score. But I would not rejoice in advance, because the team looked cheerful and cheerful in the game, but not enough to produce such a result on a regular basis.
So there is also a revenge with the Born to Win, who will definitely be ready to get even. If OG enters the server with a sense of accomplishment, then the scenario of the game with NIP will calmly repeat, when ruggah wards were simply rolled into the server.
Latest OG results:
- Victory over MIBR with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:1.
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:0.
Best OG cards:
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 33% win rate
- Overpass - 33% of wins.
Interestingly, in the last matches, after the changes in the line-up, the team abandoned the Nuke card.
Form NAVI
The third team of the world ranking also did not do without changes in its composition, being left without a captain. Here you have the transfer of sdy to the position of Boombl4, as well as the duties of the captain passed into the hands of electroNic.
The beginning turned out to be difficult, as NAVI managed to lose to OG in the first match of BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022. There is no need to speak about the content of that meeting, because after Inferno the team thought and decided to relax.
Nevertheless, the "Born to Win" made it to the playoffs, because BIG was closed in an ordinary match. There were already the first glimpses of understanding the essence of what was happening, since the team did not make stupid mistakes.
Well, the icing on the cake was the declassing of FaZe Clan in the quarterfinals, when NAVI gave the opponent only seven rounds in two maps. I don't know how the guys read FaZe Clan like that, but it looked really cool. And if the team maintains the same attitude, seasoning it all with preparation, then we should expect such a takeaway.
Latest NAVI results:
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.
- Lost to OG with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2:0.
The best NAVI maps:
- Ancient - 86% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 86% of wins.
- Mirage - 80% of wins.
- Inferno - 60% of wins.
- Nuke - 40% win rate.
At the same time, the team still refuses the Vertigo card.
Statistics of meetings OG — NAVI
Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- NAVI's victory at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A with a score of 16:5.
- OG's victory at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 with a score of 2:1.
Let me remind you that in the last meeting, the cards Inferno, Mirage and Ancient were played.
Forecast for the match OG — NAVI
For me personally, there is only one question: With what score will NAVI beat OG? It's hard to throw your hats up now and say that the "Born to Win" will carry everyone feet first. But, given the last two meetings, these conversations have logic.
Although in this case it is worth proceeding from the conditions of OG, which looks very cool as part of the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022. Moreover, the main focus of the team is on the sniper, who was given complete freedom of action.
However, this trick will not always work, just as everyone has bad days. Yes, and flameZ is probably tired of kneading his palm after strong blows.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the NAVI team. Yes, maybe the coefficient is not so beautiful, but I have no doubts about the victory of this team.
Let's move on to the match between OG and NaVi. Everything here is not as clear as it might seem, because during the last meeting, the OG team managed to defeat the Born to Win with a score of 2-1 on maps. Having lost their pick, the European team won the NaVi map and the desider map. I don’t know what it was, but it seems to me that the navi will not allow to do the same this time. If you dive deep into this tournament, you can see that OG advanced to the playoffs from the first place in the group, having beaten the team dry ENCE and 2-1 NaVi themselves. While they themselves were born to win from third place, winning only the BIG team with a score of 2-0, but at the same time defeating Faze Clan yesterday (top 1 team according to HLTV)
It is very difficult to guess which map OG will pick as their pick, and Navi has an impressive % of wins on maps lately (except for Nuke). Perhaps the picks of the cards will be banal and the first to be banned will be an overpass, which did not go through the game with OG and vertigo, who never play NaVi, and then we will see a complete Bo3 from Dust2, Mirage and Inferno, but this is just guesswork.
I think this victory is very important for Navi, but the incredible performance of the OG team confuses me. I would suggest betting on Navi to win with a score of 2-0, because these are the guys who like to reach the final from last place. Perhaps they just needed motivation and a reason to ruin other teams.
