Prédiction de match: Cloud9 - BIG {{Counter-Strike (CS2)

Cloud9 and BIG will meet in the second leg of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage Europe Last Chance Qualifier. In this case, the winner will advance to the next round, where they will face FaZe Clan.

I don't think the German squad has much of a chance of winning, despite having a probability in any match. Still, BIG has proven time and again that it's very difficult to hold their grip in such games.

For their part, Cloudy are booked to play FaZe Clan, which is something many are waiting for. So here I would take a closer look at the victory of the Cloud9 team, which has recently beaten the Germans.

Cloud9's form

The fifth team in the world rankings had a mixed performance in the main part of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they managed to outplay FORZE and Eternal Fire, but at the same time lost to Monte.

Moreover, Cloud9 had nothing against them in their matches against G2 Esports and ENCE, dropping two BO3s. And in terms of play, Cloud9 didn't look that much weaker, but they couldn't switch on quickly and gave away their rounds.

Fortunately at the Long Conger Last Chance Qualifier the Russian team found the strength to improve themselves and pass B8 without too many problems. And we want to believe that with this victory the boys regained their confidence.

The latest results from Cloud9:

• A 9-16 defeat to Monte.
• Victory over Eternal Fire 19-16.
• A 0-2 loss to G2 Esports.
• 0-2 defeat to ENCE.
• 2-0 win over B8 Esports.

Cloud9's best scores:

• Vertigo - 81% wins.
• Mirage - 79% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Ancient - 58% wins.

Let's not forget that the Russian team continues to reject Nuke maps.

Form BIG

The nineteenth team in the world rankings was in the final of the recent BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, where it was defeated by Cloud9.

However, the German team had a mixed performance in the main part of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they outplayed only iNation and 500, but lost to 9INE, Vitality and Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Moreover, BIG beat Falcons in the Last Chance Qualifier with great difficulty, which does not give the team any points. And the Germans seldom feature prominently at the diestination.

The latest results from BIG:

• A 15-19 defeat at the hands of 9INE.
• A 16-8 win over 500.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of Vitality.
• A 0-2 loss to Ninjas in Pyjamas.
• 2-0 win over Falcons.

Best BIG scores:

• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Anubis - 55% wins.
• Mirage - 53% wins.

In their turn, the German team has been adjusting to their opponent.

Cloud9 - BIG meeting statistics

The teams have met once this season - Cloud9 won 2-1 at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe.

Forecast for the match Cloud9 - BIG

The Germans took Inferno last time out, but things are not so clear-cut now. On the other hand, on the other two cards Cloud9 literally grinded down BIG, which proves the idea that sh1ro and company are favourites even now.

All in all, too much "against" the German squad, who with direct competitors never hold the bar. And BIG had big problems with the French, moreover on the same Mirage.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Cloud9 to win.
