Match Prediction: Gambit Esports - HAVU | CS2 (CS:GO)

Gambit and HAVU will meet in the Grand Final of the Pinnacle Cup 2021. The winner will not only receive the title, but also $ 80,000 in prize money. It is logical to assume that the Russian team is the favorite. It is this point of view that I will try to adhere to.

The third team in the world rankings went through the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 13, having managed to reach the Play-In without a single defeat. As for the Pinnacle Cup 2021, Gambit made it to the finals without any problems, showing strong performance in two matches. It remains only not to lose confidence in a day.

Nuke we will definitely skip here. However, the team should pay attention to basic things that haven't been working lately.

HAVU form

The 17th team in the world rankings lost the recent Nordic Masters Spring 2021 final, although nothing boded ill. Nevertheless, the Finnish team continues to show confident play, knocking on the TIER-1 stage. So in the Pinnacle Cup 2021, the team is going without a single defeat, having lost only a map in the quarterfinals. As for the semi-finals, HAVU confidently outplayed BIG, showing its intransigence.

The latest results of the team:

• Victory over GODSENT with a score of 16:10.
• Victory over NiP with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat to Dignitas with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 0.

• Nuke - 82% wins.
• Overpass - 82% wins.
• Dust 2 - 79% wins.
• Mirage - 77% wins.
• Inferno - 70% wins.

At the same time, the team does not play on Vertigo - almost the best map of the opponent. Overall, however, HAVU's statistics are respectable.

Forecast for the match Gambit - HAVU

I don't think that the Finnish team will be able to demonstrate their confidence in the final. As practice shows, HAVU can play meetings. To do this, let's remember the final of Nordic Masters Spring 2021, where the Finns were rolled out on two maps. In turn, the Russian team needs no introduction. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Gambit team.
