Match Prediction: sAw - BIG | Counter-Strike (CS2)
ESEA Season 37: Europe - Premier DivisionSAW and BIG will meet in the ESEA Premier Season 37 Europe group stage. Personally, I do not expect any cool game from the German team, since the guys are clearly purposefully preparing for the quarterfinals within the FLASHPOINT 3. Therefore, in this situation there is every chance that SAW will bring a pleasant surprise to the favorite.
SAW shape
The 31st world ranked team has yet to start in this championship, but we remember that SAW was second last season. In the meantime, the Portuguese team reached the playoffs of REPUBLEAGUE TIPOS Season 1 without any problems, having won three wins in four matches. However, SAW doesn't spoil us that often, appearing on the server only once or twice a week.
Recent SAW results:
- Defeat from LDLC with a score of 11:16.
- Defeating eSuba with a score of 16:13.
- Victory over OFFSET with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to Movistar Riders with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Young Ninjas with a score of 2: 0.
Best SAW cards:
- Inferno - 69% win rate.
- Nuke - 68% wins.
- Vertigo - 59% wins.
In this match, we will definitely miss Inferno, which is being banned by the opponent. However, in this situation, SAW has additional difficulties with Dust 2, Mirage and Overpass.
BIG shape
The eighth team in the world ranking does not impress me personally. As part of the current ESEA Premier Season 37 Europe, the team has already won two very difficult victories, while giving away Apeks and BLINK on the map. This seems too strange to me given BIG's competitive experience. However, at the same FLASHPOINT 3, the team managed to hold one meeting, defeating Complexity at the same time.
Recent BIG results:
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
- Beat the Apeks with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over BLINK with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
Best BIG cards:
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Dust 2 - 69% win rate.
- Vertigo - 60% wins.
- Mirage - 64% wins.
Interestingly, the team's situation is terrible with Nuke and Inferno. But if the second immediately goes to the ban, then the first will have to sweat.

Forecast for the match SAW - BIG
I will say right away that I expect a lot of interesting things from the match. For this, I can give several arguments at once:
- The Portuguese team is not considered a weak opponent, while having a lot of experience in playing at the TIER-2 level.
- SAW plays strong on three maps - Inferno, Nuke and Vertigo. And if we are unlikely to see the first map, then on the other two the Portuguese can make the favorite get nervous.
- BIG in this championship has already held two meetings with obvious outsiders, having managed to lose one map each.
In this regard, I propose to bet 2.5 more on Total on cards, because I believe that there is room for insufficient mood on the part of the German team. Well, in addition, I would recommend taking Foru (+1.5) for SAW, which is estimated with a coefficient of 2.11.
