Match forudsigelse: G2 Esports - Heroic | Counter-Strike (CS2)

G2 and Heroic will meet in the IEM Dallas 2023 top group stage final. Both teams have already guaranteed participation in the play-offs, but in this case they will play out the opportunity to get a day off and start straight away with the semi-finals.

I don't know, but so far the Samurais are showing a convincing game. Understandably, it's hard to judge from victories over Nouns and OG, but there G2 got by without a chance at all.

As for the Danish side, they expectantly took on 9z and MOUZ, but didn't do anything special. In this situation, it makes sense to remember that in important matches Heroic likes to go off the radar.

In general, we are dealing with a match between two equal teams, but still it makes sense to succumb to subjective evaluation. So here I'd lean on G2 to win.

G2 form

The sixth ranked team in the world played confidently in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage with three uncontested victories over TheMongolz, Complexity Gaming and Apeks.

However, the European side went down in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 where they lost to Vitality, Bad News Eagles and fnatic and were left out of the play-offs.

As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here G2 overlooked Nouns, after which they walked over OG without a chance and guaranteed participation in the play-offs.

G2's latest results:

• Defeat to Bad News Eagles by a score of 13-16.
• 2-0 win over FURIA.
• 1-2 loss to fnatic.
• 16-5 win over Nouns.
• 2-0 win over OG.

Best G2 scores:

• Inferno - 100% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

It is worth remembering that the European team is steadily banning the Overpass map.

Heroic form

The second team of the world ranking even made it to the IEM Rio 2023 finals, where they failed to defeat Vitality and ended up with a silver medal.

Then the Danish team had a solid run in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they earned three confident victories over FaZe Clan, Apeks and Team Liquid. Still, in the play-offs, the boys failed because they managed to Ledge to GamerLegion.

Speaking about Long Corner in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here Heroic expectedly shut out 9z and MOUZ. However, the team didn't show much of anything until they recovered from their defeat in the semi-finals.

Heroic's latest results:

• A 2-1 victory over Team Liquid.
• 2-1 victory over FaZe Clan.
• 1-2 defeat of GamerLegion.
• Victory over 9z with a score of 16:9.
• 2-0 victory over MOUZ.

Top scoring Heroic:

• Ancient - 100% wins.
• Mirage - 80% wins.
• Nuke - 75% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 55% wins.

In turn, the Danish team has also refused to play Anubis for a long time.

G2 - Heroic encounter statistics

In the current season the teams have played one meeting - G2 won (3:1) at IEM Katowice 2023.

Forecast of the match G2 - Heroic

It is clear that on paper, the Danish team can play on any card, but even here we still have to watch. In turn, the lack of practice can play into the hands of G2, who have a chance to surprise their opponent.

Moreover, it seems to me that the Samurai won't look any weaker on Mirage, Inferno, and Ancient. All in all, it all depends on how well Heroic knows how to assemble for important matches.

Still, in this case, I'd recommend betting on G2 to win.
