Match Prediction: BIG - NaVi | CS2 (CS:GO)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022BIG and NAVI will try to finish the first game day of PGL Major Antwerp 2022 undefeated. If the German team outplayed Imperial, creating problems for themselves in the attack along the way, then NAVI managed to give a small comeback in the game against G2, and at the same time turned the game itself around. As a result, it is obvious here that "Born to Win" will crush with morality, at least they should do it.
Form BIG
The 15th team in the world ranking became the second in the RMR tournament, where they managed to outplay FaZe Clan. However, the German team failed in the subsequent qualification for IEM Dallas 2022, losing to Entropiq and MOUZ. However, in the first round of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, gob b's wards in the class closed Imperial, although they gave too many rounds for the attack, thus tarnishing their debut.
Latest BIG results:
- 2-0 victory over Apeks.
- Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:1.
- Defeat from Entropiq with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 0:2.

Best BIG cards:
- Dust 2 - 80% of wins.
- Nuke - 75% win rate.
- Mirage - 62% of wins.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
Let me remind you that the German team has been refusing the Inferno map for a long time.
Form NAVI
The second team of the world ranking became the fourth in the RMR tournament, where they managed to lose to Heroic. As for the start at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, the team managed to snatch victory from G2 on the Mirage map, showing real character. After this, NAVI has every chance to continue in the same spirit, especially since BIG does not seem like an impenetrable opponent.
Latest NAVI results:
- Victory over OG with a score of 16:5.
- Defeat from Heroic with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over forZe with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 19:17.

- Ancient - 100% win rate.
- Mirage - 91% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 80% of wins.

Needless to say, the Born to Win will be ditching the Vertigo card.
BIG vs. NAVI match statistics
At the end of the last season, the teams had one meeting - at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021, NAVI won (2:0).
Prediction for the match BIG — NAVI
It is difficult to predict the map in advance, because the choice is really quite good. However, as I said earlier, Born to Win certainly got a boost of motivation by being able to turn the game around against G2. For BIG, everything remains the same - in some places the team dominates, but very easily gives away the advantage. Well, to swim against the background of the Brazilians - it still needs to be tried. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the NAVI team with Handicap in rounds (-3.5).
The match was mathematically analyzed using HLTV 2.0 statistics. According to the results of this analysis, the Natus Vincere team is much stronger than the BIG team.
My Prediction:
The Natus Vincere team will win this match.
I share my opinion, but the decision to play for money is up to you. This is solely your responsibility. In every game, an outsider can win, so there is always a risk of losing.
Do not bet more than 5% of the pot unless you are ready to lose large sums of money.

BIG vs Natus Vincere. The teams will play in the second round for reaching the playoffs at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 tournament. Several conclusions can be drawn from the matches after the first round. I'll try to explain my choice.

Match prediction
Watching the first, exhibition matches of BO1, there was a prefix that some teams seemed to be not their own. Both teams did not perform well in the first round of the major. On the one hand, the Russian-Ukrainian squad was not warmed up and was slowly rolling in. On the other hand, the German squad, which was almost destroyed by a comeback, is the Brazilian team. Apparently, it will be an easy match for Natus Vincere. NAVI victory.
Very soon, NAVI will play with BIG for the right to reach the top matches of the third round, where one of the teams may be lucky enough to reach the playoffs of the ongoing Major tournament. Here, the clear favorites are, of course, the players from Natus Vincere, however, betting on their victory is too banal and the odds are not as high as in the case of other markets.
Natus Vincere uniform
The team has been showing very interesting CS:GO lately and sometimes makes their fans nervous. As part of PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A, the team fought in five matches, winning four of them. The beginning of the path to PGL Major Antwerp 2022 was somewhat thorny for the Born to Win, but the victory still fell into the hands of NAVI. In a special way, I want to note that the match against G2 ended with a score of 19-17. The Kovacs brothers and their teammates from G2 are of course much stronger than BIG, but NAVI's not the best performance cannot be ignored either.

Game form BIG
If you look at BIG's game form and their latest results, then with the naked eye you can see the gulf in gaming skills between them and Natus Vincere. Taking part in the closed qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2022 Europe, the Germans won twice and lost twice. After a not-so-successful start to May CS:GO, the team moved on to PGL Major Antwerp 2022, and the team's debut there was a success. Their meeting against Imperial ended with a score of 16-11. However, do not forget that Imperial is on the 32nd line of the HLTV rating, while NAVI's rivals in the first round represented by G2 are on the 6th line. Accordingly, Natus Vincere are now more seasoned and prepared for the next match.

History of meetings between NAVI and BIG
The last time Natus Vincere and BIG played against each other on November 24 last year. This means that you should not pay attention to this factor, and therefore we will omit such an “interesting” detail.
Conclusion
BIG should be an easy target for NAVI, but keep in mind the fact that the match will be held in a bo1 format. For this reason, everything can go according to an unplanned scenario and BIG, in theory, can surprise all viewers with their performance. Nevertheless, I tend to win NAVI, but I don’t think it’s the most useful thing to bet on a win. It would be much better to place your bet on Handicap -3.5 rounds in favor of the favorite. This bet implies that Natus Vincere will not allow BIG to take even 12 rounds. Those who want less risk can consider the 2.5 round Handicap option, but the odds will not be as attractive.
