Prediction on match CS2 BIG - Movistar Riders

Movistar Riders Will win

BIG and Movistar Riders will play in the first round of the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In. To be honest, the current game of the German team leaves very mixed feelings. Therefore, I admit such a moment that a sensation will happen in this game.

BIG shape

The fourth team in the world ranking won the last BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021. The team began its path in the championship with a victory over OG (2: 0). However, then the Germans unexpectedly lost to NiP (0: 2), falling into the “losers” bracket. Nevertheless, BIG was able to rethink its game, beating not only Astralis (2: 0), but also taking revenge on NiP (2: 0).

Best BIG cards:

Vertigo - 100% wins.
Mirage - 71% wins.
Inferno - 58% wins.

We remember that the band hasn't played Train for a long time. However, I vaguely believe that BIG will keep Overpass and Nuke.

Movistar Riders uniform

The 22nd World Ranked Team started the season really strong, winning three consecutive tournaments. However, already at the start of the European Development Championship 2, the Spaniards lost in a strange way to Sinners (9:16), finding themselves in a difficult position. Nevertheless, the team managed to overcome itself, simultaneously beating K23 (2: 0) and Izako Boars (2: 0), knocking out a place for itself in the playoffs.

Best Movistar Riders Cards:

Overpass - 75% wins.
Train - 70% wins.
Mirage - 67% wins.
Vertigo - 67% wins.
Nuke - 54% wins.
Inferno - 50% wins.

However, let's not forget that the team does not play Dust 2 at all, which we will definitely not see in this meeting.

Personal meetings statistics

During the last season, the teams had only one meeting - at the Europe Minor Closed Qualifier - ESL One Rio 2020, the victory went to Movistar Riders (2: 1).

Prediction for the match BIG - Movistar Riders

I confess, but the Spaniards look pretty impressive, given the pre-start status of an outsider. Yes, and BIG makes enough mistakes to surprise at the start of the championship, especially in the match, which will be held in the BO1 format. In addition, this meeting will be a personal vengeance for the smooya, who was once exiled from the BIG. And I believe that the Briton will be mentally prepared to create a sensation. Therefore, I propose to take a risk and bet on the win for the Movistar Riders team with the odds of 3.36.
