Match Prediction: Heroic - Gambit Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021Heroic and Gambit will repeat the recent grand final of ESL Pro League Season 13. However, now we are not waiting for BO5, but only BO3, which will determine the fate of the second slot at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2021.
Heroic form
The third team in the world rankings won the last ESL Pro League Season 13, showing something with something in terms of team play and morale. Suffice it to recall the grand final, in which the team chewed out two cards on the moral and strong-willed, simultaneously catching a wave of luck at the final Mirage. However, now the Danes have gone home, which will definitely affect morale. But Heroic very confidently reached the semifinals (final), winning four maps out of four.
The latest results of the team:
- Victory over NiP with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Gambit with a score of 3: 2.
- Victory over SAW with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over 9z with a score of 2: 0.
Best Heroic Cards:
- Nuke - 83% win rate.
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Vertigo - 75% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
- Mirage - 67% wins.
- Train - 57% wins.
The Danes can choose any card and be sure that the opponent will not do anything sensible. In this case, we will definitely skip Dust 2. After all, Heroic is unlikely to gravitate towards experimentation.
Gambit Form
The leader of the world rankings finished his way in ESL Pro League Season 13, taking silver. Yes, the team lost to Heroic. Now Gambit definitely wants to take revenge by working on the bugs along the way. Moreover, we already see that that defeat did not greatly affect the mood of the team, which continues to show its Counter Strike.
The latest results of the team:
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over NiP with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 2: 3.
- Victory over NASR with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2: 1.
Best Gambit Cards:
- Vertigo - 91% wins.
- Mirage - 78% wins.
- Train - 75% wins.
- Overpass - 65% wins.
- Dust 2 - 62% wins.
- Inferno - 57% wins.
I guess we will definitely skip Nuke in the series. However, if I were a team, I would not rely on Vertigo, since the Danes can focus on this particular card.
Personal meetings statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Gambit's victory at IEM Katowice 2021 with a score of 2: 1.
- Heroic's victory at ESL Pro League Season 13 with a score of 3: 2.
It turns out that the teams are worth each other.
Prediction for the match Heroic - Gambit
It seems to me that the Danes, having gone home, cannot rely on an emotional charge. So Heroic will definitely not be able to make those comebacks that were in the recent finals. In turn, Gambit was not very upset, continuing to bend its line. Moreover, in the recent final, it was the Russian team that held the initiative, losing from fatigue and inexperience. But this will not happen here. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Gambit team.
