Prédiction de match: BIG - 9INE {{CS2 (CS:GO)

BIG and 9INE will meet in the second semi-final of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe. The Polish team has already managed to surprise with their pinpoint preparation, having outplayed fnatic the day before.

In turn, BIG was very nervously defeated the Chinese Rare Atom, and before that, the team had constant problems. In general, now the Germans have a terrible situation, and it is unlikely that the guys can count on something serious.

And on the background of 9INE, which was clearly prepared for this championship, the favorites may have problems. Moreover, right now the German team itself does not understand which cards are worth playing, and which are best to be crossed out.

So here I would take a closer look at a win for the 9INE team. It is clear that the Germans can wake up at any time, but this has rarely happened in the last month.

Form BIG

The eighteenth ranked team in the world fell in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they managed to suffer defeats from weaker opponents and remain without a ticket to the play-offs.

The German side then crashed out of the semi-finals of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 where they lost to Copenhagen Flames, also finished at the same stage of the CCT West Europe Series 2 and didn't qualify for the IEM Dallas 2023.

As for Long Sogpeg at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, here BIG managed to outplay Rare Atom, although it was still a very poor game at Ancient. So don't think the Germans can seem like unqualified favourites.

Recent BIG results:

• A 2-1 win over HAVU.
• 0-2 defeat to Apeks.
• 14-16 defeat to HEET.

• 2-1 win over Rare Atom.

Best BIG scores:

• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 56% wins.

• Vertigo - 50% wins.

It is worth noting that the German team is able to play on any map.

Form 9INE

The 28th ranked team in the world managed to win the RES Western European Masters Spring 2023 qualifying tournament to qualify for this year's championship.

The Polish side went on to reach the semi-finals of CCT South Europe Series 3, but also failed in the play-offs of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 and CCT North Europe Series 4.

As for Long Sogpeg at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, here 9INE managed to close out fnatic, showing great preparation and motivation. All in all, the Poles have already surprised, so the guys can try to go even further.

Prediction for the match BIG - 9INE

I very much doubt in the preparation of BIG that stopped fighting in the last time. And the playing structure of the German team leaves much to be desired, as after another change in the line-up the conditioning has evaporated somewhere.

On the other hand, 9INE has visibly improved in recent months, starting to show up more often in big qualifiers and even achieve some success.

And now the Polish team can definitely count on a miracle, as the guys can boast a set of strong cards. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend taking a risk and bet on 9INE to win.
