Match Prediction: SKADE - Sinners | CS2 (CS:GO)

SKADE and Sinners will play in the quarterfinals of the closed qualifier for DreamHack Open November 2021, where they will compete for three slots for the main championship. However, I strongly doubt that after the recent "successes" the Bulgarian team will suddenly shoot here and receive a quota for the tournament.

SKADE shape

The 24th team in the world rankings stopped playing altogether after the failure in IEM Fall 2021 Europe. This applies to the playoffs of Elisa Invitational Fall 2021, where the team quickly moved away from Fiend, and Pinnacle Fall Series 2, in which the guys did not reach the playoffs at all. And it seems to me that all these experiments from SKADE turned out to be sideways for the team, since the defeat from Unique and Galaxy Racer is difficult to explain logically.

Recent SKADE results:

• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat to Lyngby Vikings with a score of 1: 2.
• Lost to Fiend with a score of 1: 2.
• Defeat Unique with a score of 1: 2.
• Defeat to Galaxy Racer with a score of 0: 2.

Best SKADE cards:

• Mirage - 82% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 58% wins.
• Dust 2 - 55% wins.

However, on other maps, the team was doing very badly.

Sinners form

The 26th team in the world rankings failed the end of the group stage of IEM Fall 2021 Europe, although by the fifth round it was in second place. As a result, the Czech team flew past the playoffs, and at the same time lost their motivation. So it turned out that Sinners miraculously fell off in the open qualifiers for IEM Winter 2021, having managed to lose Eternal Fire (that's how it is).

Recent Sinners results:

• Defeat to Astralis with a score of 8:16.
• Lost to Movistar Riders with a score of 0: 4.
• Defeat against Heroic with a score of 2: 4.
• Victory over INDE IRAE with a score of 16: 8.
• Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 12:16.

Best Sinners Cards:

• Ancient - 86% wins.
• Overpass - 60% wins.
• Nuke - 59% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

At the same time, we will definitely not see the Dust 2 card - the Czechs traditionally do not play it.

Meeting statistics SKADE - Sinners

During the current season, the teams held two meetings:

• Sinners win in Snow Sweet Snow 2 with a score of 2: 1.
• SKADE wins the European Development Championship 3 with a score of 2: 1.

However, let's not forget that five months have passed since the last meeting.

Forecast for the match SKADE - Sinners

I'm not sure that in the light of the recent games, the Bulgarian team should be expected to do great things. We can say that Sinners' situation is no better, but this team is at least more stable (at least not losing to Unique). And SKADE, as an outsider, has no clear advantage in terms of cards either. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the Sinners team to win.
