Forutsigelse av kamp: BIG - Heroic | CS2 (CS:GO)

BIG and Heroic will meet in the semi-finals of the top group stage of IEM Rio 2023. The German squad surprised at the Long Stage of the championship by beating MOUZ. And the guys didn't strain at all, taking all situations in their favour.

But compared to Heroic, the Germans still look like a second-tier team. Moreover, the Danish team are considered one of the favourites of the championship, which they proved with a victory over 9INE.

All in all, I suggest we do without The International rugby. Therefore, here I'd lean on the victory of the Heroic team. All the same, the Germans don't pamper us with stability on the stage.

BIG form

Nineteenth team of the world ranking was in the final of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, where they could not come up with anything sensible against Cloud9.

Next, the German team failed in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, Ledgeiv 9INE, Vitality and Ninjas in Pyjamas, and also crashed out of the Last Chance Qualifier early.

As for Long Soppeg in the group stage of IEM Rio 2023, here BIG unexpectedly shut out MOUZ. And in terms of play, the team looked good, but you still have to remember that the Germans have a constant carousel of moods.

The latest BIG results:

• A 1-2 loss to Vitality.
• A 0-2 loss to Ninjas in Pyjamas.
• 2-0 win over Falcons.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of Cloud9.
• 16-6 victory over MOUZ.

Best BIG scores:

• Overpass - 71% wins.
• Mirage - 53% wins.
• Anubis - 50% wins.

It's worth noting that the German team usually adjusts to their opponent.

Heroic form

The third team in the world rankings actually failed in the play-offs of ESL Pro League Season 17, as it was already defeated by Natus Vincere in the quarterfinals.

Recently, however, the Danish team played coolly in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they went through to the "legends" of the majors with three solid victories.

Here, too, Heroic had no problem outplaying 9INE in the Long Song of the IEM Rio 2023 group stage and heading on. All in all, the Danes are holding the bar and are unlikely to be beaten by the Germans.

The latest results from Heroic:

• A 0-2 loss to Natus Vincere.
• Victory over 500 with a score of 16-8.
• Beat Aurora Gaming 16-14.
• 2-0 win over Monte.
• 16-12 victory over 9INE.

Heroic's best scores:

• Overpass - 83% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 60% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.

In turn, the Danish team has long given up on Anubis.

BIG - Heroic encounter statistics

Within the current season, the teams held two meetings:

• A 2-1 victory for Heroic in the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023.
• A 2-1 victory for Heroic in ESL Pro League Season 17.

It is worth mentioning that the teams played Vertigo and Inferno twice on the cards.

Forecast for the match BIG - Heroic

I do not think that the German team is capable of a miracle. Yes, the last face-offs have been close, but I'm not quite sure that BIG can create a sensation now.

What's more, Xizt's charges seem to be showing a confident game. Plus let's not forget who has constant problems in big matches. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Heroic win.
