Match Prediction: Gambit Esports - NaVi | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2021Gambit and Natus Vincere will compete for a place in the semifinals of IEM Katowice 2021, where Team Spirit is already waiting for the winner. I believe that in the semifinals of the tournament we will definitely see two teams from the CIS, as well as in the grand final. However, NAVI stands out from all these three, which, despite all the sensations, is still the leader of its region.
Gambit Form
The 15th team in the world ranking rocked for a long time, having arrived at IEM Katowice 2021 not in the most optimal conditions. However, in the course of the championship, the team managed to find the right formula, as a result of which Gambit became one of the sensations of the tournament. At the same time, the team is excellent in everything - structure, statistics, players.
Recent results of the team:
- Victory over mousesports with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat to Evil Geniuses with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over mousesports with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over G2 with a score of 2: 0.
Best Gambit cards:
- Mirage - 90% wins.
- Train - 86% wins.
- Vertigo - 85% wins.
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Inferno - 64% wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% wins.
I believe that everyone has known about Nuke for a long time. At the same time, the team's play itself makes you only admire the amount of work done recently.
Natus Vincere uniform
The second team in the world ranking is rightfully considered the best at the start of the season. The victories in BLAST Premier Global Final 2020 and BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021 only underline this statement. However, “Born to Win” nevertheless interrupted their winning streak, unable to reach the semifinals directly. But maybe the team decided to make it more offensive to others?
Recent results of the team:
- Victory over FaZe with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over FaZe with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Team Liquid with a score of 1: 2.
Best Natus Vincere cards:
- Dust 2 - 86% wins.
- Mirage - 80% wins.
- Nuke - 79% wins.
- Inferno - 55% wins.
- Train - 50% wins.
Keep in mind that Born to Win does not claim Vertigo at all. However, it is worth paying attention to Overpass, on which the team simply sleeps.
Personal meetings statistics
During the last season, the teams held three meetings:
- Gambit wins on WePlay! Clutch Island 2: 1.
- NAVI's victory in WePlay! Clutch Island with a score of 2: 0.
- NAVI's victory at the IEM New York 2020 CIS with a score of 2: 0.
And since then, the lineups have not changed.
Forecast for the match Gambit - NAVI
Despite all the charms of Gambit, this match will be much more difficult for the team than with G2 or Heroic. The team made mistakes in previous matches, which the rivals did not use. However, NAVI is not a team that will forgive mistakes, especially in this situation. In addition, I personally think that in the matches with Natus Vincere, Gambit players start to get very nervous, which affects the result. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NAVI team with a coefficient of 1.55.
