Match Prediction: Cloud9 - OG | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2021 Play-InCloud9 and OG will meet at the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, vying for one of the four vacancies in the lower bracket of the championship. However, there are vague doubts that Cloud9 deserves a spot in the main championship of the spring.
Cloud9 form
The 20th team in the world rankings failed the recent cs_summit 7, stopping back in the quarterfinals. At the same time, the team twice managed to lose to FURIA (1: 2, 1: 2), although it still reached the playoffs thanks to victories over NiP (2: 1) and MIBR (2: 1). Nevertheless, Cloud9 failed to cope with fnatic (1: 2) in the quarterfinals, leaving the tournament ingloriously. Already at the start of the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, the team lost to Team Spirit (7:16). However, by some miracle, the team managed to get together in a couple of hours, beating Movistar Riders (2: 0).
Best Cloud9 Cards:
- Dust 2 - 75% wins.
- Nuke - 60% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
However, problems on Train, Vertigo and Inferno still remain, making C9 a snack for your opponent.
OG form
At the end of January, the 13th team of the world ranking took part in cs_summit 7, where they took 5-8th place, losing in the quarterfinals to Heroic (0: 2). After that, the team became the champion of SteelSeries Invitational 2021, beating FaZe Clan in the final (2: 0). However, the team failed the last one for themselves BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021, losing to BIG (0: 2) and Astralis (0: 2). However, OG broke into IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In with two legs, beating fnatic (16: 9). But the fairy tale ended quickly, as the team quickly lost to Team Liquid (1: 2) and got to the “losers”.
Best OG cards:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Mirage - 83% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
- Train - 50% wins.
At the same time, we must not forget that the team traditionally does not play on Vertigo, while the Inferno and Nuke maps need to be improved.
Personal meetings statistics
During the last season, the teams had only one meeting - at FLASHPOINT 2, the victory went to OG (2: 0).
Prediction for the match Cloud9 - OG
It is clear that at this stage of the championship, any team has even purely theoretical chances of winning. However, we must not forget that we have Cloud9, which is literally created in order not to meet expectations. Therefore, I will definitely not hope for this team. But OG deserves to get to IEM Katowice 2021, which will only make the championship better. Therefore, I propose to bet on the victory of the OG team with odds of 1.62.
