Match Prediction: BIG - Rare Atom | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2023 EuropeBIG and Rare Atom will meet in the quarter-finals of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe. Who would have thought it before, but now the Chinese have a real shot at it, as things are not going well for the favourites.
And BIG is in a state of transition, with the team losing to everyone and everywhere. So it makes sense that the odds on Rare Atom have been lowered as far as is even possible within the bounds of logic.
Simply put, the German squad is not getting anywhere at all. Guys can invent new grenades as much as they want, but they do not get to implement their ideas on the server. This only makes it worse, as BIG began to lose to everyone in a row.
In general, given the recent success of the Chinese, I would look closely at the map from the team Rare Atom. And there are chances and wins there, but BIG is still the favourite, if only because of its name.
Form BIG
The world's sixteenth ranked team failed in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they could not cope with less stellar opponents. First of all, the Germans lost to themselves, handing victory to Movistar Riders.
Next, the squad continued to surprise with the "minus" prefix, as they crashed out of the semi-finals of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023, losing to Copenhagen Flames.
Already after, BIG was also restricted to the semifinals of CCT West Europe Series 2, and also failed to make it through to the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023 at the first attempt. All in all, the situation is dire and the team is not doing well in any way.
Recent BIG results:
- A 2-1 win over Monte.
- A 1-2 loss to Copenhagen Flames.

Forecast for the match BIG - Rare Atom
Considering the shape BIG is in, I'd really like to see the Chinese team's potential. Rare Atom has at least managed to beat Team Liquid and take the card from NAVI, so it's very ambiguous here.
It is clear that the German team remains the favorite, but in recent games I would not give all laurels to BIG. What's more, the team themselves don't know what cards they want to play on.
For their part, the Chinese will bet on Inferno, where their opponent has problems. In addition, the Germans will not be able to ban all their bad cards at once, leaving space for the opponent.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum on cards (+1.5) for the Rare Atom team.
