Match Prediction: Acend - Gambit Esports | VALORANT

Handicap +1.5 (Gambit Esports)

Acend and Gambit will meet in the quarterfinals of Red Bull Home Ground # 2. I will not talk about the principled fight for the European team, which managed to suffer from Gambit as part of the last EMEA Challengers. At the same time, I would not say that Gambit is in good shape right now, given the defeat in the group stage.

Form Acend

The third team of the European ranking failed in the playoffs of VCT 2021: Stage 3 Masters - Berlin, hitting only the TOP-8. However, for two months, the team worked hard to break into Red Bull Home Ground # 2 and break the group stage. As a result, three convincing victories allowed Acend to receive the People's Choice Award, as well as receive the highest seeding in the playoffs.

The team's only omission is the Split map.

Gambit Form

The first team in the European ranking became the winner of VCT 2021: Stage 3 Masters - Berlin, after which it disappeared for several months. It seems like the guys promised to come back stronger, but already at the group stage they managed to lose to LDN UTD. Well at least they coped with the other poor fellows - and thanks for that. In any case, Gambit is considered the favorite of any match only on behalf of.

Victory over G2 Esports with a score of 2: 0.
Victory over Team Envy with a score of 3: 0.
Victory over Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 13: 8.

At the same time, in this case, the brand new card does not work at all from Gambit.

Meeting statistics Acend - Gambit

Forecast for the match Acend - Gambit

The Russian team is not in the same shape as it was in Germany at the Masters. And the Europeans are now on fire, showing quite an interesting game, again sharpened on cNed. However, I doubt Acend will finish the game quickly. Therefore, here I propose to put on Forum (+1.5) for the Gambit team.
