Match Prediction: paiN Gaming - Extra Salt | Counter-Strike (CS2)
DreamHack Open March 2021 North AmericapaiN and Extra Salt will meet in the DreamHack Open March 2021 North America Grand Final, which will be held in BO5 format. I think that the Brazilian team has already done the impossible, getting into the grand final, so the prospects for paiN are extremely small here.
PaiN form
The 38th team in the world ranking even in America does not have enough stars from the sky. We can recall that the Brazilians won the DreamHack Open January 2021 North America in January with just three matches. However, this does not reflect the real level of capabilities of the team, which is obviously weaker than the opponent in the final.
The latest results of the team:
- Victory over Recon 5 with a score of 16:13.
- Lose from Extra Salt with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Rebirth with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Bad News Bears with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2: 1.
Best paiN cards:
- Dust 2 - 100% wins.
- Inferno - 83% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 60% wins.
Do not forget to make allowances for the level of competition in the region. However, the Brazilians play on every map, which is a big plus.
Extra Salt Form
The 24th team in the world rankings in the era of the absence of Liquid and EG put the entire local scene on the ears. Once upon a time, the backbone of the composition did not come to the court of Cloud9, having gathered under the tutelage of a new organization. Since then, the team has won ESEA Winter Cash Cup 5 North America and ESEA Winter Cash Cup 6 North America, performing consistently in other tournaments. Well, now the team has confidently reached the final without experiencing any special problems.
The latest results of the team:
- Victory over Oceanus with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to Bad News Bears with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over paiN with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat Bad News Bears 2: 1.
- Victory over High Coast with a score of 2: 0.
Best Extra Salt Cards:
- Vertigo - 100% wins.
- Nuke - 91% wins.
- Train - 90% wins.
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Inferno - 55% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
It should be noted that the Mirage card is clearly deprived of game practice, which will not be a serious problem.
Personal meetings statistics
During the current season, the teams held three meetings:
- Extra Salt wins DreamHack Open January 2021 North America qualifier 2: 1.
- Extra Salt wins ESEA Winter Cash Cup 6 North America with a score of 2: 0.
- Extra Salt wins DreamHack Open March 2021 North America 2-0.
I don't think there is a question about the favorite.
Forecast for the match paiN - Extra Salt
The Brazilians did the impossible by beating Liquid, who simply decided not to waste their energy. In turn, Extra Salt has been shaking the region for several months now, showing a great game. And there is no doubt that this team will become the champion of the tournament. Therefore, I propose to take Foru (-1.5) Extra Salt, which is estimated with a coefficient of 1.71.
