Match Prediction: BIG - Vitality | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR BBIG and Vitality will play in the fourth round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B for another trip to the majors. And the winner will still play for the Legends seeding, which is a coveted trophy.
If we talk about the match specifically, I would not look towards BIG, although the Germans, with good luck, can fight on one card. Still, zonic's charges are much more stable in terms of teamwork, although some players like to switch off.
Therefore, here I would lean on the victory of the Vitality team. Although, for the fans, it makes sense to look at the map from the German squad.
Form BIG
The nineteenth ranked team in the world played horribly in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, as they did not show any fight and flew past the play-offs stage.
However, right after that, the German squad made it to the finals of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, where they even put up some sort of a fight against Cloud9, taking away a map.
As for Long Sogpeg in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, here BIG managed to outplay iNation and 500, but at the same time failed to cope with a sensation from Poland called 9INE.
BIG's latest results:
- A 2-1 win over 9INE.
- 1-2 defeat of Cloud9.
- 16-12 victory over iNation.
- 15-19 defeat of 9INE.
- 16-8 win over 500.
Best BIG scores:
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Anubis - 55% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
It is worth noting that the German team is now able to play on any map.
Form Vitality
The sixth ranked team in the world managed to shoot in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they scored three good wins and went straight to the quarterfinals.
However, in the play-offs, the Danish-French squad was already missing as they came up with nothing better to do than lose their game to ENCE in the quarterfinals.
And yet at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, Vitality managed to get back into the game by shutting out Astralis and Ninjas in Pyjamas. But the day before, the team showed the other side of the coin again, losing to 9INE on two maps.
Vitality's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over FaZe Clan.
- Defeat to ENCE by a score of 1-2.
- 16-14 victory over Astralis.
- Beat Ninjas in Pyjamas 16-13.
- A 0-2 defeat at the hands of 9INE.
Vitality's best scores:
- Nuke - 80% wins.
- Inferno - 75% wins.
- Vertigo - 75% wins.
- Anubis - 67% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
- Overpass - 50% wins.
In turn, the Danish-French team has not appeared on the Ancient map for a long time.
BIG - Vitality encounter statistics
The teams met twice during the last season:
- Vitality's 2-1 victory in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022.
- BIG win at the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B by 16:10.
That The International was close enough at Vertigo and Nuke.
Forecast for the BIG vs Vitality match
We'll see what the Germans show, but I don't have much faith in these guys in BO3. It is clear that there are a lot of questions for Vitality as well, but after the failed game against the Poles, the team should wake up.
It can also be said that BIG like to outplay themselves. And there is a feeling that the team will start to bury themselves again at the veto stage. So in this case I'd recommend betting on a Vitality win.
Bookmakers & Statistics
