Prediction on match CS2 sAw - Team K23

SAW and K23 will argue for the right to stay at Funspark ULTI 2021: Europe Season 1. The Kazakh team pleasantly surprised by giving the battle HAVU. However, the fact that the Portuguese have to rehabilitate themselves for the failure and take this match is not canceled.

SAW shape

Not so long ago, the 27th team in the world rankings won the LVP Unity Spring Cup 2021, taking their slot at BLAST Premier without any hassle. However, the start of the new championship did not work out for the Portuguese, since SAW failed the defense on Inferno, unable to put the squeeze on the opponent. Nevertheless, the team has everything to avoid repeating mistakes and defeat the next opponent.

The latest results of the team:

• Victory over Case with a score of 16: 8.
• Victory over OFFSET with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat Movistar Riders 2: 1.
• Victory over FUAAAAARK with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to Copenhagen Flames with a score of 1: 2.

Best SAW cards:

• Nuke - 68% wins.
• Vertigo - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 56% wins.

Despite the fact that the Portuguese are able to play on any map, there is clearly a lack of teamwork and confidence somewhere.

Form K23

The 60th world ranked team failed at Winstrike CIS Spring Cup 2021, failing to qualify from the group. Later, the Kazakh team flew out with Snow Sweet Snow 3 Regionals, showing a monstrous game. So at Funspark ULTI 2021: Europe Season 1, the team lost the first match, again hanging by a thread from relegation.

The latest results of the team:

• Lost to Young Ninjas with a score of 1: 2.
• Lose from BLANK with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over HONORIS with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat to Galaxy Racer with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat from HAVU with a score of 1: 2.

Best K23 cards:

• Dust 2 - 83% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

At the same time, the team did not go anywhere from the terrible game on other maps.

Personal meetings statistics

During the last season, the teams held two meetings:

• SAW victory in qualifying for DreamHack Open Summer 2020 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
• K23 wins the European Development Championship 1 with a score of 2: 0.

But do not dwell on these matches, since more than one month has passed.

Forecast for the match SAW - K23

I don't know what exactly to expect from the Kazakh team, given the constant rotation of players. However, one thing is certain - SAW is functionally ready to fight. The Portuguese are not only stronger, but also more confident at a distance. So far, K23 has shown only unpreparedness for the season. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the SAW team.
