Forutsigelse av kamp: BIG - Spirit Academy | Counter-Strike (CS2)

BIG and Spirit Academy will meet in the first round of the CCT West Europe Series #1 playoffs. Quite an interesting duel, since the Germans continue to play without the main sniper, while the young "dragons" show a good game on TIER-2.

It is for this reason that I have a feeling that Spirit Academy can compete with experienced opponents and try to surprise. It is clear that the defeat of BIG goes beyond logic, but still it makes sense to take some risk and believe in the card from an outsider.

Form BIG

The fourteenth team in the world ranking managed to visit IEM Katowice 2023. However, the German team failed there in the group stage, having suffered two defeats from G2 and Team Spirit.

Immediately after that, BIG was left without a sniper, as syrsoN left the team. Together with their young team from the academy, the team still managed to qualify for IEM Rio 2023, despite the starting loss from Monte.

Nevertheless, there have been questions about the Germans for a long time, although they have no equal online because of the German servers.

Prediction for the match BIG — Spirit Academy

An entertaining meeting, because there is a feeling that the Spirit Academy will try to play the first number, which the team has been able to do lately.

In turn, the Germans may not count on this tournament much, which increases the risk of burnout. It is clear that BIG is unlikely to lose the series, but I don’t believe in breadcrumbs.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the Spirit Academy team.
