OG and HAVU will play in the first round of the CCT North Europe Series #2. The Finnish team continues to keep a certain bar in all kinds of online championships, although there are corresponding rivals.
In turn, the OG team failed at the last tournament from BLAST, where they did not win a single map. And yet, ruggah's wards must somehow save the season, but it will not be easy here either.
Still, nexa and the company are in a position where you can't make mistakes in such matches, as substitutions may be on the way. In general, HAVU is not a bad team, but very dependent on mood. And under pressure, the Finns can falter.
Form OG
The eighteenth team of the world ranking failed at the IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage, although there they had a lot of chances to break into the “legends”. Another point is that the team was frankly unlucky with the draw, having played with two playoff participants.
However, quite recently, OG performed at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022, where they didn’t show anything at all and went home in the first carriages. Moreover, in terms of the game, the team looked much weaker than both FaZe Clan and, sorry, Ninjas in Pajamas.
Latest OG results:
- Defeat from FURIA with a score of 16:19.
- Victory over IHC Esports with a score of 2:0.
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.
- Lost to Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 0:2.
Best OG cards:
- Inferno - 71% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% of wins.
- Ancient - 50% win rate.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
Let's not forget that the OG team is ditching the Nuke map.
Form HAVU
The 55th team of the world ranking made it to the quarterfinals of the CCT Central Europe Series 3, in which they lost to Copenhagen Flames almost without a chance. Then the Finnish team won the local Elisa Open Finland Season 3 Finals, but the youth line-up of ENCE was also in the rivals there.
As for the performances of HAVU within CCT North Europe Series 2, here the team lost to 9INE, but at the same time got three good victories. And yet, while the Finns do not leave a strong impression, so we will look at the distance.
Latest HAVU results:
- Victory over ENCE Academy with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over AGO with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by 9INE with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over ex-Finest with a score of 2:0.
Best HAVU cards:
- Nuke - 85% win rate.
- Mirage - 69% of wins.
- Inferno - 64% of wins.
- Ancient - 56% of wins.
In turn, the Finnish team refuses the Vertigo card.

Forecast for the match OG — HAVU
Online, the Finnish team looks much better - that's a fact. However, HAVU, perhaps, has not yet played with such strong opponents. On the other hand, OG gives out failure after failure, but someday this streak must end.
It is clear that ruggah's wards are unlikely to take this championship, but losing in the first round is such an adventure at the end of the season. And in general, the guys have a couple of simulated maps where HAVU plays.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the OG team with a score of 2: 0.
