Match Prediction: Vitality - NaVi | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Rio Major 2022Vitality and NAVI will play in the first round of the main stage of IEM Rio Major 2022. I don't know, I have questions about the game of the Danish-French team, which doesn't play at all.
Moreover, Vitality managed to suffer a couple of optional defeats at the Challengers Stage, where one ZywOo played. Otherwise, the team again did not show itself in any way, which, of course, makes us think about future prospects.
As for NAVI, the team played great at the last RMR tournament, as well as promised to hold a bootcamp since then. And if then "Born to Win" still had some problems, now they can reach the peak of their form.
Form Vitality
The second team in the world ranking managed to fail at the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, from which they flew out of the semi-finals after losing to Astralis.
As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here the Danish-French team got an easy victory over Imperial Esports, but then lost to GamerLegion and Outsiders.
And yet, Vitality managed to stay afloat and get into the "legends" by outplaying Grayhound Gaming and OG. However, the team is not looking good so far, and obviously the victory at the EPL has become the peak of the possibilities.
Vitality's latest results:
- Victory over Imperial Esports with a score of 16:9.
- Lost to GamerLegion with a score of 10:16.
- Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 12:16.
- Victory over Grayhound Gaming with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over OG with a score of 2:1.
Best Vitality cards:
- Dust 2 - 80% of wins.
- Vertigo - 78% of wins.
- Inferno - 60% of wins.
- Nuke - 60% win rate.
- Mirage - 55% of wins.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
Let's not forget that the Danish-French team continues to refuse the Ancient map.
Form NAVI
The fourth team of the world ranking made it to the quarterfinals of ESL Pro League Season 16. And then the Ukrainian team gave out a frankly weak championship, leaving a lot of questions behind.
However, NAVI shot further at the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B, where they got three confident victories. Moreover, it is worth starting from this, since the “Born to Win” did not play anywhere else, however, as usual.
And yet, the team has a certain background, which gives NAVI the right to be considered a favorite. And I doubt that the team will not immediately adapt to the rhythm of the tournament.
Latest NAVI results:
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 2:1.
- Lost to G2 with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Illuminar Gaming with a score of 16:5.
- Victory over MOUZ with a score of 16:11.
- The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:0.
The best NAVI maps:
- Dust 2 - 80% of wins.
- Mirage - 78% of wins.
- Inferno - 57% of wins.
Usually Born to Win refuse the Vertigo card, but in recent months the team has been preparing something.
Statistics of meetings Vitality — NAVI
As part of the current season, the teams held four meetings:
- NAVI's victory at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A with a score of 2:0.
- NAVI's victory at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 with a score of 2:0.
- NAVI's victory at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 with a score of 2:0.
- Vitality's victory at ESL Pro League Season 16 with a score of 2:1.
However, the teams have not met in BO1 for a long time.
Prediction for the match Vitality — NAVI
I can't be sure about Vitality, because the team showed too inexpressive game in the Challengers Stage. Here, too, NAVI didn’t play anywhere, clearly encrypting their preparations before the start of the championship.
It doesn't make much sense to talk about statistics, since all the long-standing meetings took place in BO3, and the Born to Win did not play for so long that they sank in terms of indicators.
And yet, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the NAVI team.
