Match Prediction: Esports Club Kyiv - Nordavind | Counter-Strike (CS2)

EC Kyiv and Nordavind will meet in the second round of Spring Sweet Spring 1 Regionals. I'm not sure that the intrigue is alive, since the Ukrainian team is clearly not in the same team with the rival.

EC Kyiv form

The 91st team in the world ranking has not played in interesting tournaments for a long time. However, already in April the team was able to win META Open Spring 2021. By the way, the Kievites played well at the first stage of Spring Sweet Spring 1 Regionals. Nevertheless, at the start of the second, the team began to experience the expected difficulties associated with the difference in class.

The latest results of the team:

• Victory over 100PG with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over 100PG with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat from K23 with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over 100PG with a score of 2: 1.
• Lost to Fiend with a score of 0: 2.

Best EC Kyiv cards:

• Train - 83% wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% wins.

Once again we see some good cards, complemented by very mediocre statistics on others.

Nordavind shape

The 37th team in the world ranking was able to get into the second stage of the Spring Sweet Spring 1 Regionals, although it showed a weak Counter Strike. Here the team has already found its defeat, clearly underestimating the opponent. However, this team knows how to assemble. For example, a couple of days ago Nordavind reached the final of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2021, which is a significant achievement. So I don't think the team will leave the tournament so soon.

The latest results of the team:

• Beat the Apeks with a score of 16: 9.
• Victory over Lemondogs with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to SKADE with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat from AGF with a score of 1: 2.

Best Nordavind cards:

• Vertigo - 83% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 61% wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% wins.

The team still has difficulties with other cards. At the same time, the team does not play on Nuke, which is also important to consider.

Forecast for the match EC Kyiv - Nordavind

I don't think it's worth talking here in the context of Nordavind's capabilities - a team with such a roster should take over such meetings. Still, EC Kyiv is at a lower level, even now showing not the strongest Counter Strike. So here I propose to bet on the victory of the Nordavind team. However, I do not exclude that if the Kievites choose Train, the outcome will be in their favor.
