Match Prediction: BIG Academy - IHC | CS2 (CS:GO)
IESF World Championship 2022BIG Academy and IHC will play in the upper bracket semi-finals of the IESF World Championship 2022. An interesting meeting, since there is no clear favorite here. But if the German team is in fact a youth team, then the same cannot be said about the Mongols.
That being said, IHC has some experience as the team played two Majors last season. In turn, BIG Academy only played in all kinds of TIER-3 tournaments, but somehow showed results.
Therefore, here you will have to succumb to a subjective assessment and choose young Germans. These guys, I think, are a little better prepared for this championship, while IHC is a little lacking in stability.
BIG Academy Uniform
The 88th team of the world ranking failed in the group stage of WePlay Academy League Season 6, showing a weak ending. However, the German team went on to win ESL Meisterschaft Autumn 2022, beating Sprout in the final.
BIG Academy is already conquering the IESF World Championship 2022, starting with the qualifiers. And now the team is going without losses, in particular, having defeated rivals from Algeria.

At the same time, the German team has a floating permoban - from Mirage to Ancient.
Form IHC
The 33rd team of the world ranking managed to visit IEM Rio Major 2022, where they even beat 00NATION. However, further on the Mongolian team began to lose its shape, playing frankly poorly at the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 43: Asia-Pacific.
As for the IESF World Championship 2022, IHC is not losing here yet. On the other hand, the team does not look as confident as we would like, despite all the numbers.

In turn, the Mongolian team still refuses the Vertigo card.

Prediction for the match BIG Academy — IHC
Looking back at the performances of the teams only in this championship, I liked the Germans more. Firstly, their hands are not shaking, just as there are no problems with underestimation. Secondly, BIG Academy plays on seven maps, from which it has an advantage over any opponent.
As for the Mongolian team, it wins, but not so brightly. And you obviously expect something other than difficult victories over Vietnam from the participant of the major.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the BIG Academy team.
