Match Prediction: Outsiders - Rare Atom | Counter-Strike (CS2)
ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHackOutsiders and Rare Atom will meet in the semi-finals of ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack. I will say this, if there are no questions about the honey badgers and their place in the playoffs, then tell me, what a miracle the Chinese team turned out to be here?
If we put aside all prejudices, then Rare Atom showed a very cool level of preparation, not becoming a passenger in this championship. And if the team continues with the same attitude, then I don't know, maybe the guys can create problems for another favorite.
Of course, Outsiders is much higher than MIBR and HUMMER, but the team has its own problems with adapting to the new roster. Therefore, why not believe in a card from the Chinese, who really play with passion.
Form Outsiders
The 15th team in the world ranking failed at the recent Roobet Cup 2022, where they lost two matches in the group stage and left the championship. I confess that I did not expect such a failure from the Russian team.
However, the Outsiders did well in the group stage of the ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack, where they picked up two weekday victories over 00NATION and Sprout. But I'm really interested in what the team will show against the backdrop of the shooting and running Chinese.
Latest Outsiders results:
- Victory over Illuminar with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over the Falcons with a score of 2:0.
- Defeat from forZe with a score of 1:2.
- Defeat from FURIA with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over 00NATION with a score of 16:11.
Best Outsiders cards:
- Dust 2 - 62% of wins.
- Vertigo - 60% of wins.
- Inferno - 56% of wins.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
Let me remind you that the Russian team traditionally refuses the Nuke card.
Rare Atom shape
The 50th team of the world ranking recently became the winner of the ESL Challenger League Season 41 Asia-Pacific, where they closed everyone in a row and proved their worth against the background of all competitors in the region.
Personally, it seemed to me that the Chinese team would not show anything at ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack and would go to rest. However, Rare Atom came together after the initial defeat from MIBR to close down HUMMER and take revenge on MIBR.
I don't know what's going to happen next, but I'm interested in seeing these guys in front of the Outsiders.
Latest Rare Atom results:
- Victory over IHC with a score of 2:0.

Prediction for the match Outsiders — Rare Atom
In this case, there are two points of view:
- one. The Chinese team is showing a cool game, obviously wanting to make a name for itself at the very least a major championship. From which it is quite logical to expect a fight from Rare Atom.
- 2. Outsiders are much stronger than the Brazilians in terms of play and structure, which will prevent the team from giving so much space to the Chinese. As a plus, the Russian team has recently shown that it can confidently cope with opponents of a lower class (for example, ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference).
However, I too want to see the fire in the eyes of the Chinese. Therefore, here I would recommend taking a chance and betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the Rare Atom team.
