Prédiction de match: BIG - Natus Vincere {{CS2 (CS:GO)

The last time when the teams  met happened approximately two months ago at the grand final of ESL One Cologne 2018 and then the guys from Natus Vincere turned out to be stronger winning over the Germans by the score of 3:1.

As for BIG, we can say that they haven't lost their shape after ESL One Cologne 2018 and they are still performing in a stable way on the international arena. At FACEIT Major: London 2018 - Challengers Stage, the guys lost against the teams compLexity and Vega Squadron, but defeated Renegades, Gambit eSports and OpTic Gaming. At the next stage they were able to win over FaZe Clan and TyLoo but after that they lost against compLexity Gaming again. The last match with Smooya and his team resulted in the loss of Fnatic.

Meanwhile, Natus Vincere were in a great shape before DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018, and before the championship the Ukrainian-Russian roster had a vacation which resulted in their failure at the Swedish championship. After the end of the tournament of the series DreamHack, Zeus and his team had a lot of practice at the bootcamp to get prepared for FACEIT Major and now they demonstrate great results - the collective won over very strong opponents from FaZe Clan and Ninjas in Pyjamas, but couldn't oppose Astralis. We should mark that the Danish roster is a doubtless favourite of the championship while “Born to Win” lost a still battle - the match ended by the score of 16:14. At the last meeting the guys defeated Fnatic and provided themselves with the status “Legend”.

Bookmakers think that Natus Vincere are the favourites of the competition and set the coefficient of their win equal to 1.4, while the triumph of BIG is evaluated as 2.75. We agree with the opinion of bookmakers and also think that the Ukrainian collective has more chances to win but the meeting is almost 100% sure to end by the score 2:1, as “Born to Win” will have to play with BIG on the map “dust 2”, while S1mple and the team have never win there after its reconstruction.
