Match Prediction: Heroic - FURIA | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Rio Major 2022Heroic and FURIA will play in the second semi-final of IEM Rio Major 2022, where they will compete for the second slot in the grand final. I think this meeting will be full of emotions, because now the hall will definitely cheer against the Danes, whom I supported the day before.
In this regard, I have concerns that Heroic will not cope with the pressure and will start making mistakes, which they made in the quarterfinals. Plus, FURIA, which has already performed a miracle by knocking out NAVI from the tournament, is 100% ready.
So the Brazilian fairy tale can become a reality, otherwise how now the team looks stronger than ever. Well, it's hard to say something sensible about Heroic, because on paper the team seems to be the favorite, but there are a number of other aspects that can play a minus for the Danes.
Therefore, here I would venture to dwell on the Brazilians, who, under the roar of their native stands, do unthinkable things and shoot very cool.
Form Heroic
The tenth team in the world ranking has recently become the winner of BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, having obtained three clean sheets during the championship.
As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here the Danish team only developed their winning streak, having managed to outplay Outsiders and fnatic. And yet, Heroic gave way further, losing to Cloud9. Fortunately, in the end, the team made it to the playoffs, having obtained a laborious victory over Team Liquid.
In their quarter-finals, the Danes proved to be stronger than Team Spirit, clearly preparing for the opponent's pick. Another question is that on the Overpass map, Heroic didn’t succeed, and without the support of the stands, it will become much more difficult psychologically.
Heroic's latest results:
- Victory over the Outsiders with a score of 16:9.
- Victory over fnatic with a score of 16:2.
- Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.
- The victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 2:0.
Best Heroic Maps:
- Ancient - 100% win rate.
- Nuke - 86% of wins.
- Inferno - 75% of wins.
- Mirage - 56% of wins.

- Vertigo - 56% of wins.
Do not forget that the Danish team is still refusing the Dust 2 map.
FORM FURIA
The eighth team of the world ranking started its journey at IEM Rio Major 2022 from the Challengers stage, where they made their debut with a loss to BIG in overtime.
Nevertheless, the Brazilian team went on to get three very confident victories over 00NATION, OG and GamerLegion, thanks to which they made it to the "legends".
Here FURIA continued to win, gaining momentum. As a result, the team managed to defeat ENCE, Team Spirit and BIG, being among the winners of the Legends stage.
Well, in their quarter-finals, the Brazilians did something incredible, not only beating NAVI, but also giving a cool comeback in the series after losing on the Nuke map. In general, there are no questions about the motivation of these guys.
Latest FURIA results:
- Victory over GamerLegion with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 16:6.
- Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 16:13.

Interestingly, the Brazilian team has long since abandoned the Dust 2 map.
Heroic vs FURIA match statistics
During the last season, the teams held two meetings:
- Heroic's victory at ESL Pro League Season 13 with a score of 2:0.
- Heroic win at IEM Cologne 2021 with a score of 2:0.
However, now completely different compositions and conditions.
Prediction for the match Heroic — FURIA
The key intrigue before the start of the match lies in the following: who will not refuse Dust 2. It seems that there is no point in taking risks for the Brazilians, although on morale they can leave a card and surprise the opponent.
Otherwise, FURIA is in some kind of crazy shape, and many of the team's actions are completely unreadable. In turn, Heroic is trying to act outside of their scripts, but in some places the Danes have problems. Plus, we will now have to say goodbye to the support of the stands, so we will see the sixth player on the side of the Brazilians.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the FURIA team.
