Match Prediction: OG - Renegades | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Katowice 2022 Play-InOG and Renegades will meet at IEM Katowice 2022 Play-In. I'm not sure that the Australian team is capable of anything, since OG is now in great shape. At the same time, the Europeans, having signed nexa, showed an extremely confident game at the last BLAST.
Form OG
The 11th team of the world ranking performed excellently at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022, without dropping a single match. Moreover, the team could have ended the championship without any cards given up, but the ending on Ancient in the final game against NIP failed. Nevertheless, OG showed such a confident CS that for me personally the team is a contender for the IEM Katowice 2022 playoffs.
Latest OG results:
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 16:8.
- Victory over MIBR with a score of 16:9.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 16:8.
- Victory over NIP with a score of 2:1.
Best OG cards:
- Ancient - 75% of wins.
- Inferno - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 67% of wins.
Interestingly, the team has not yet played on two maps: Dust 2 and Vertigo.
Renegades form
The 66th team in the world ranking finished last season in Europe. However, these performances can hardly be called successful, since the Australians failed at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 and ESL Pro League Season 15 Conference, having won two victories in total. At the same time, the team remained bloodless, since the line-up left malta. It seems like Liazz should play at the tournament, but it all looks poor.
Renegades latest results:
- Defeated by BIG with a score of 9:16.
- Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Renewal with a score of 2:0.
- Defeat from Extra Salt with a score of 0:2.
- Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 0:2.
Best Renegades maps:
- Ancient - 100% win rate.
- Inferno - 50% win rate.
At the same time, the Australian team does not play on the Overpass map.
Match statistics OG – Renegades
During the last season, the teams held two meetings:
- OG's victory in the ESL Pro League Season 13 with a score of 2:0.
- Renegades win at IEM Cologne 2021 Play-In with a score of 2:0.
Interestingly, Inferno and Nuke played in both matches.
Prediction for the match OG – Renegades
Given the excellent start from OG, as well as the difficulties with the composition of the Australians, there is no intrigue in this game. Yes, Renegades can show good CS on a good day. However, even at the end of the last season, the team did not show anything, losing even at TIER-2. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the OG team with Handicap by rounds (-4.5).
