Prediction on match CS2 OG - Nordavind

OG and Nordavind will meet at the start of the closed qualifier for DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 Europe. It is clear that OG is the favorite of the meeting. However, the match is interesting not only by the confrontation itself, but also by the upcoming announcement of the newcomer of the team, which dreams of being selected for the main championship.

Form OG

The 17th team in the world rankings failed the last IEM Katowice 2021 without winning a map in the main stage of the championship. After that, replacements were about to happen in OG, as a result of which the team asked NBK to leave. It would seem that in the current situation it is better to put the ISAA on the bench, which plays with a ping of 100+ from time to time. However, the team has probably found a player in uniform, whom they will introduce exactly before the start of the match with Nordavind.

The latest results of the team:

• Victory over fnatic with a score of 16: 9.
• Defeat against Team Liquid with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 0: 2.

Best OG cards:

• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.

Now many teams are in terrible shape, which affects the statistics. However, we must not forget that in this match there is a slight difference in status between the teams.

Nordavind shape

The 113th team in the world rankings recently started their journey after the roster renewal. So far, the team has not performed at large championships, limiting itself only to BO1 within ESEA Season 36: Advanced Division - Europe. However, in recent days, the team has loudly declared itself, and it seems that it is not going to stop.

The latest results of the team:

• Lost to Tricked 1: 2.
• Victory over SKADE with a score of 16:11.
• The victory over Lilmix with a score of 16: 9.
• Victory over GROND with a score of 16:14.
• Victory over S-Gaming with a score of 2: 1.

Best Nordavind cards:

• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Inferno - 60% wins.

At the same time, we can already conclude that the team does not play on Nuke. In addition, the team is still not doing everything on Overpass - the best map of the opponent.

Prediction for the match OG - Nordavind

It is likely that OG will nevertheless invite niko, who did not take root in Heroic. However, this replacement with a stretch pulls on an outstanding one, since the Dane is definitely not the strongest even in this lineup. In addition, Nordavind seems to me a "dark horse" that can cause problems. Therefore, here, keeping in mind the victory of OG, I propose to bet on the Total on cards 2.5 more, which is estimated by the odds of 2.63.
