Match Prediction: Cloud9 - Outsiders | Counter-Strike (CS2)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022Cloud9 and Outsiders will play in the first round of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. An interesting meeting between two problematic teams, one of which, to some extent, solved its difficulties. Even though this is a derby, I hardly believe that the Outsiders will be able to reverse the excellent team training and discipline. Therefore, I am all for Cloud9, which will certainly be ready to go to the playoffs.
Form Cloud9
The fourth team of the world ranking got three everyday victories in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B, where they lost only one map. After that, the team was signed by a North American organization, thereby solving the main problem. And there is no doubt that Cloud9 will perform well in the championship. And the fact that the opponents in the first round of the Outsiders cannot but please the team.
Latest Cloud9 results:

- Inferno - 50% win rate.
Let me remind you that the Russian team has not played on the Nuke map for a long time.
Form Outsiders
The tenth team of the world ranking surprised at the start of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. First of all, the team made it to the “legends”, having suffered only one defeat. Secondly, the Outsiders managed to overcome themselves by getting in shape during the championship. But I don't think that the team has a great chance to shoot now, because with such a viscous game and such opponents, dastan's charges will have to catch up time after time.

- Victory over SAW with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over MIBR with a score of 16:14.
- Lost to ENCE with a score of 6:16.

Interestingly, the Outsiders also refuse the Nuke card.
Match statistics Cloud9 — Outsiders
At the end of last season, the teams had three meetings:
- Outsiders win at IEM Fall 2021 CIS with a score of 22:20.
- Cloud9 won at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 with a score of 16:14.
- Outsiders win at IEM Winter 2021 with a score of 2:0.
And each meeting was as close as possible.
Prediction for the match Cloud9 — Outsiders
I see Cloud9 as the favorite, period. It seems to me that this is the most inconvenient opponent for the Outsiders, having positive statistics, if you look at the distance. In addition, if you look at it this way, dastan's wards won far from the most confident victories, making mistakes everywhere.
In turn, there is a certain confidence that Cloud9 has prepared something interesting, because even at the RMR tournament the team tried to move away from the default. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Cloud9 team.

Match prediction
Most likely everyone understands the result of the further match. After all, the chances of the Outsiders winning are very small, only if they don't gather, so literally this winter the guys calmly took cards from the current Cloud9. The Russian-American team sounds very strange:) But the fans of this team are happy, as is the composer himself. With new powers, Cloud9 should tear and throw like it was before, but 10 times better. Cloud9 win.
