Prédiction sur le match CS2 Heroic - BIG

Heroic and BIG will meet in the first match of IEM Katowice 2021. Honestly, I don't know what to expect from the Danish team, which hasn't shown any results for several months in a row. At the same time, BIG has already managed to get stronger, waking up during the new season.

Heroic form

The sixth team in the world ranking took only 3-4 place at the last cs_summit 7, losing to fnatic in the semifinals (0: 2). At the same time, even in the group, the Danes beat MIBR twice (2: 0, 2: 1), losing only to mousesports (0: 2). In addition, in the quarterfinals of the tournament, the team dealt with OG (2: 0). However, the fact remains - Heroic is still a mystery.

Best Heroic Cards:

• Nuke - 71% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.

However, with other cards, the team is in total disaster. And let's not forget that the very same Vertigo is one of the best in the opponent.

BIG shape

The fourth team in the world ranking recently won its group within the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021, beating OG (2: 0), Astralis (2: 1) and NiP (2: 0). Already at the start of the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, the team coped with Movistar Riders (16: 6) without any problems, getting the opportunity to resolve all issues ahead of schedule. However, the team did not use this very opportunity, losing to Team Spirit (0: 2). Nevertheless, BIG ended up in the championship, beating MIBR in the decisive match (2: 0).

Best BIG cards:

• Vertigo - 100% wins.
• Inferno - 62% wins.
• Mirage - 57% wins.
• Nuke - 55% wins.

We remember that the team hasn't played on the Train map for a long time. However, it's hard to argue with the fact that the team has a lot of potential on many maps.

Personal meetings statistics

Only in the last season the teams had enough face-to-face meetings:

• BIG's victory at DreamHack Open Leipzig 2020 with a score of 2: 0.
• BIG's victory in DreamHack Open Summer 2020 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
• BIG's victory in DreamHack Open Summer 2020 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
• Heroic's victory at ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
• Heroic's victory at ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
• BIG victory at IEM New York 2020 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
• Heroic win at DreamHack Open Fall 2020 with a score of 2: 1.

It turns out that the advantage for BIG is 4: 3.

Forecast for the match Heroic - BIG

For some reason I vaguely believe that the Danes are prepared for the championship. The team's recent results do not inspire confidence, while BIG is steadily gaining momentum. It's bad that the teams did not meet earlier, however, judging by the latest results, the advantage is definitely with the Germans. Therefore, I propose to bet on the BIG team to win with odds of 1.66.
