Prediction on match CS2 NaVi - Liquid

NAVI and Liquid will meet as part of the BLAST Premier World Final 2021 quarterfinals. As always, they give a meager odds at Born to Win, hoping to see a one-wicket game. So I will not think that the North American team will be able to come up with anything against this fighting five, which won all the last championships.

NAVI form

The first team in the world ranking, as expected, became the winner of BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021. One thing is sad - in the grand final, the team somehow merged Nuke against the French. In any case, NAVI is still hungry for victories. And I doubt that the guys will give up at the end of the season, having managed to let Liquid close to them. And the opponent's things are not so good, if we start from the last matches.

Recent results NAVI:

• Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Heroic with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 1.

Best NAVI cards:

• Inferno - 100% wins.
• Nuke - 89% wins.
• Overpass - 88% wins.
• Dust 2 - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Ancient - 75% wins.

As before, we say that NAVI refuses to play on the Vertigo card.

Liquid form

The 12th team in the world ranking performed ambiguously at IEM Winter 2021. On the one hand, the team outplayed OG and Astralis without a chance. However, the North Americans lost to the NIP in a salad, simultaneously failing to cope with G2, which was playing without a captain. So it turns out that Liquid once again shows a game that completely and completely depends on the mood. Well, we have long known about the future of this line-up.

Recent Liquid results:

• Defeat against Heroic with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over OG with a score of 16:12.
• Defeat from G2 with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat to NIP with a score of 0: 2.

Best Liquid cards:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 56% wins.

At the same time, the North American team does not play on the Ancient map.

Meetings statistics NAVI - Liquid

During the current season, the teams held three meetings:

• Liquid's victory at BLAST Premier Global Final 2020 with a score of 2: 0.
• NAVI's victory in the BLAST Premier Global Final 2020 with a score of 2: 0.
• Liquid's victory at IEM Katowice 2021 with a score of 2: 1.

But all this was at the very beginning of the season.

Forecast for the match NAVI - Liquid

Who can compete with NAVI now? Maybe G2 or Gambit. And Liquid is definitely finishing the season, not harboring any special hopes for the future and the championship itself, in particular. On the plus side, I don't see a single map where the North American team could impose their own game that would bewilder Born to Win. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NAVI team with a score of 2: 0.
