Match Prediction: Heroic - Sprout | CS2 (CS:GO)
Flashpoint Season 3Heroic and Sprout will meet in FLASHPOINT 3. For me personally, this meeting is fraught with some intrigue. For example, I am very worried about the game of the German team, which after the closed qualifier lost to everyone in a row. Therefore, it is quite expected that the Danes themselves do not understand what to expect from their opponent.
Heroic form
The third team in the world ranking limited itself to the semifinals of the last DreamHack Masters Spring 2021. However, it cannot be said that the team had a bad championship or performed below their real capabilities. Just in the semifinals, the Danes met with NAVI, which then won the championship altogether. However, until the start of the playoffs, Heroic was doing fine - three easy wins without losing cards. Moreover, the team still exudes wild confidence, on the basis of which victories are forged.
Recent Heroic results:
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over paiN with a score of 16: 6.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 1: 2.
Best Heroic Cards:
- Vertigo - 83% wins.
- Nuke - 78% wins.
- Mirage - 78% wins.
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
- Train - 57% wins.
We will definitely skip Dust 2 here. However, there is a feeling that the Danes will put pressure on Mirage or Vertigo to the last.
Sprout Form
The 30th team in the world ranking went to the tournament through a closed qualifier, where they took only fourth place. I would like to note that within the framework of the selection, the team showed a rather viscous CS, which bore fruit in every match. Yes, Sprout had two defeats, but the team also managed to take cards from Complexity and Anonymo there. However, all the interesting things went on, as the team decided to give a streak of defeats, finally confusing all the cards.
Recent Sprout results:
- Defeat to ENCE with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat from SSP with a score of 10:16.
- Victory over SSP with a score of 16: 8.
- Defeat from Endpoint with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat from forZe with a score of 0: 2.
Best Sprout Maps:
- Dust 2 - 60% wins.
- Vertigo - 57% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
- Train - 50% wins.
Interestingly, the team does not play on Overpass - a convenient map for the Danes.
Heroic - Sprout meeting statistics
During the last season, the teams held one meeting - at DreamHack Open Fall 2020, the victory went to Heroic (2: 1).
Prediction for the match Heroic - Sprout
A difficult enough match to analyze, since Sprout is clearly up to something. All the recent defeats of the German team have seriously confused the cards. At the same time, the only face-to-face meeting does not give the right to believe that the match will be easy for Heroic. However, the Danes still look very confident, having time to close BIG and Astralis with a score of 2: 0. In addition, the Danes have a whole range of played cards at once (Mirage, Inferno, Nuke, Vertigo). Therefore, here I propose to bet on Forum (-9.5) for Heroic, which is estimated with a coefficient of 1.61.
