Prédiction sur le match CS2 Team Spirit - Gambit Esports

Spirit and Gambit will compete for the right to advance to the final of the upper bracket of the EPIC League CIS 2021. I think there is no longer any doubt that the “dragons” are the best in this championship. And even in the Swiss grid, Spirit easily dealt with Gambit, leaving the opponent no chance.

Spirit form

The 12th team in the world rankings perfectly approached the EPIC League CIS 2021, having trained many interesting rounds. Already from the first matches, it became clear that the team had forgotten all the latest failures and rebuilt the game. But more importantly, Spirit does not matter who sits on the other side of the server so far, since the team simply comes in and makes its default, making point adjustments during the match. Well, do not forget about the shooting, which at this tournament the players have at an exorbitant level.

Recent results Spirit:

• Defeat from forZe with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over bankaPEPSI with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Gambit with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat Entropiq with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over K23 with a score of 2: 0.

Best Spirit Cards:

• Dust 2 - 90% wins.
• Overpass - 83% wins.
• Inferno - 60% wins.
• Train - 50% wins.

The situation is a little worse on Mirage and Nuke. However, do not forget that Spirit already had the experience of defeating Gambit a week earlier.

Gambit Form

The first team in the world ranking with great difficulty made it to the playoffs of the EPIC League CIS 2021, only having won a victory over Nemiga in the last round. However, the team both played with mistakes and continued to play. So in the quarterfinals, Gambit could easily fly off 0: 2. But after a failed game on Dust 2, the team managed to pull themselves together and show two successful maps, although there were dark forces there too (El1an spoke about the situation briefly and clearly).

Recent Gambit results:

• Defeat from Spirit with a score of 0: 2.
• 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.

Best Gambit Cards:

• Inferno - 82% wins.
• Vertigo - 82% wins.
• Mirage - 77% wins.
• Train - 58% wins.
• Overpass - 58% wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% wins.

I guess it's not worth reminding about the permanent ban of the Nuke card. However, the team has big problems on Dust 2.

Spirit - Gambit meeting statistics

During the current season, the teams held four meetings:

• Gambit won at DreamHack Open January 2021 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
• Gambit wins at IEM Katowice 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
• Gambit wins the Pinnacle Cup 2021 with a score of 2: 1.
• Spirit's victory in the EPIC League CIS 2021 with a score of 2: 0.

And most importantly, Spirit is constantly picking up Dust 2.

Prediction for the match Spirit - Gambit

I don’t think that something has changed much in the distribution of forces in a week, but bookmakers recklessly see Gambit as a favorite. I have a slightly different opinion, based on facts and figures. The same Dust 2 will definitely appear in the series, since it is the permanent pick of the "dragons".

At the same time, Gambit has big problems with the card, on which any action is read once or twice. Besides, I have almost no doubts about Spirit's victory. However, I still suggest playing it safe and betting on Forum (+1.5) for Spirit.
