Prédiction sur le match CS2 Gambit Esports - Akuma

Gambit and Akuma will argue for the right to qualify for the EPIC League CIS 2021 grand final. Interestingly, in this situation, the Russian team is not the favorite, despite the bookmaker's quotes. And I really think this is another “match of life” for Akuma who is doing incredible things in this tournament.

Gambit Form

The first team in the world ranked with great difficulty made it to the playoffs of the EPIC League CIS 2021, losing two matches out of five in the Swiss grid. However, the team clearly worked on themselves, significantly transforming into the playoffs. Here Gambit has already defeated Entropiq, and then shaved off Spirit. Moreover, the semi-final with the "dragons" must be included in the CS textbooks, as an official recognition of the genius of coaching between matches.

Recent Gambit results:

• Victory over Trident with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat against NAVI with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Nemiga with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat Entropiq 2: 1.
• Victory over Spirit with a score of 2: 0.

Best Gambit Cards:

• Vertigo - 82% wins.
• Inferno - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 77% wins.
• Train - 62% wins.
• Overpass - 55% wins.
• Dust 2 - 53% wins.

I guess it's not worth reminding about the permanent ban of the Nuke card. However, the team should pay special attention to Mirage.

Akuma form

The 47th team in the world ranking leaves mixed feelings. I do not want to talk about the content of the matches, because the results and victories speak for themselves. But I am a little confused by the fact that Akuma's only defeat in this tournament came from Gambit. And most importantly, that meeting was not without scandals, since on the first map j3kie was constantly crashed, while on Vertigo the Ukrainian team was declassed, playing with a substitute. Well, in the rest of the matches Akuma did not lose a single map, simultaneously closing NAVI and VP.

Recent Akuma results:

• Victory over Clutch Rayn with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Ambush with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over GROND with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over NAVI with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2: 0.

Best Akuma cards:

• Dust 2 - 100% wins.
• Mirage - 88% wins.
• Inferno - 71% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Train - 60% wins.

It is interesting that the Ukrainian team is able to play on all maps. However, I am sure that in this series the team will ban Vertigo or Overpass.

Prediction for the match Gambit - Akuma

No, I'm sure Gambit won't get off that easily this time. The team needs to prepare now for Mirage, which will definitely appear in the performance of Akuma. As for the rest, I have nothing to add - the Ukrainian team has already become the main topic for discussion at the championship, and not only with a plus sign, but also with a minus sign. Another thing is that everyone decides for himself how to relate to a given team. Well, here I propose to put on Forum (+1.5) for Akuma, which will surprise again.
