Prédiction de match: Heroic - Imperial (br) {{Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Summer 2021Heroic and Imperial will meet at IEM Summer 2021. The match will be held in the BO1 format, which, frankly, will not help the Brazilian team, which is much inferior to the Danes. And we remember that Heroic already had the experience of devastating victories in BO1 over similar teams.
Heroic form
The second team of the world rankings finished fourth in the last FLASHPOINT 3, having performed below their capabilities in only two matches. However, in general, the Danish team continues to show strong play, especially in terms of discipline. In addition, Heroic will clearly not have problems with underestimating the opponent, since during all this time there was no reason to doubt the professionalism of cadiaN and the company.
Recent Heroic results:
- Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat to NiP with a score of 1: 2.
Best Heroic Cards:
- Nuke - 92% wins.
- Vertigo - 86% wins.
- Mirage - 73% wins.
- Inferno - 70% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
I think that the team will abandon Mirage, Dust 2, Inferno and Ancient. However, in other aspects, the Danes are much more confident than their rival.
Imperial shape
The 109th world ranked team made it to the championship thanks to the DreamHack Open March 2021 South America victory. Since then, the Brazilian team left for North America, where they failed in the open qualifier for cs_summit 8. And all would be fine, but the current level of the North American region leaves much to be desired. In this regard, it becomes scary for Imperial, which is clearly not enough stars from the sky.
Recent Imperial results:
- Victory over Sharks with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Sharks with a score of 3: 1.
- Victory over Brazen with a score of 16: 1.
- Victory over Team Veloz with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to Triumph 1: 2.
Best Imperial Cards:
- Mirage - 75% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
However, it should be added that the Brazilians have some good ideas in store for Dust 2 and Inferno. In addition, I admit that the team was systematically preparing on the Ancient map.

Forecast for the match Heroic - Imperial
I don't think the Danes will take risks and play with fire, leaving Dust 2 or Ancient. At the same time, on other maps Heroic has a colossal advantage over an opponent who has never played with European teams. At the same time, I am sure that the Danes will not experience problems with underestimating Imperial, which, even against the background of the North American region, could not show results. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Heroic team with Handicap (-6.5).
