Ennuste ottelussa CS2 BIG - iNation

BIG and iNation will meet in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B. The German team is in an unenviable position, although their last appearance at BLAST left some hope of a return to form.

For their part, the Serbs from iNation have hardly been seen anywhere, although they weren't very productive before. Moreover, the team hardly expects to contend in this RMR tournament, as the group was a difficult one.

Therefore, here I would limit myself to the victory of the BIG team, which in such a match should show their game and move on. Well, the Serbian team should be wished good luck, as they are fighting for prestige.

BIG uniforms

The eighteenth ranked team in the world fell in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, from where they didn't even make it to the play-offs after a string of failed games.

Next, the German squad managed to play poorly at the Elisa Invitational Winter 2023 and CCT West Europe Series 2, and didn't even make it into the indoor qualification for IEM Dallas 2023.

However, with all their problems, BIG managed to reach the final of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, outplaying Rare Atom and 9INE. Still, the Germans failed to get past Cloud9, although they took a card from the favourite.

Latest BIG results:

• A 14-16 defeat to HEET.
• 1-2 defeat of GODSENT.
• 2-1 win over Rare Atom.
• 2-1 win over 9INE.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of Cloud9.

Best BIG wins:

• Overpass - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 55% wins.

Interestingly, right now the German team is able to play on any map.

Form iNation

The 45th ranked team in the world miraculously made it to the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR, not distinguished by a particular performance in the course of even the current season.

Then the Serbian team showed nothing in European Pro League Season 6 and CCT South Europe Series 3 as they lost there without exception.

And in subsequent championships, including the RES Eastern European Masters Spring 2023, iNation have invariably had problems. So I wouldn't take a team that's not performing at its level.

Recent iNation results:

• A 2-1 win over Nexus Gaming.
• A 0-2 loss to Endpoint.
• Defeat to Endpoint by a score of 0-2.
• 1-2 defeat to EYEBALLERS.
• 2-0 win over ENCE Academy.

Top scores for iNation:

• Inferno - 79% wins.
• Nuke - 69% wins.
• Ancient - 69% wins.
• Anubis - 62% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.

The Serbian team in turn routinely turns down Mirage.

Forecast for the match BIG - iNation

In the first round, we will focus on logic, and then we'll see. Even with all their failures and problems, the German team has excellent chances.

Moreover, iNation does not leave a complete picture of their game, because they consistently fail in less important championships. Yes, we have an example of the first RMR tournament, where nonsense was going on.

Still, in this case I would recommend betting on a BIG team win.
