Match forudsigelse: Cloud9 - fnatic | CS2 (CS:GO)

Cloud9 and fnatic will meet in the first round of IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage. I have doubts about mezii's and company's prospects in this championship as fnatic's recent results are dissonant.

In turn, the Russian team warmed up quite well in the last month and a half. Yes, Cloud9 failed to get into the "legends" of IEM Rio Major 2022, but even without that, the team looks like a favorite to go to the next stage.

We can say that we have one of the closest pairs of the opening round. But, I repeat, I have almost no confidence in fnatic. As a result, a logical victory for the “cloudy” suggests itself here, which will surely come to the tournament in all conditions.

Form Cloud9

The fifth team of the world rating performed well at ESL Pro League Season 16. And then the Russian team lost only to Teaam Liquid (twice), taking 3rd-4th place as a result.

Then Cloud9 went to IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, where they started with two confident victories, including over G2. However, the team was followed by a defeat from Ninjas in Pajamas, which largely decided the fate of a ticket to the "legends".

Separately, I would like to say about the final defeat from Team Spirit, because Cloud9 literally outplayed it. It remains to be hoped that such errors will be corrected and the team will regain confidence.

Latest Cloud9 results:

• Victory over B8 with a score of 16:6.
• Victory over G2 with a score of 16:13.
• Lost to Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over 1WIN with a score of 2:0.
• Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1:2.

Best Cloud9 Maps:

• Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
• Mirage - 75% of wins.
• Overpass - 75% of wins.
• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

Let's not forget that the Russian team continues to refuse the Nuke card.

The sixteenth team in the world ranking managed to play at the same ESL Pro League Season 16, from which they flew out after the first round of the playoffs. What is most interesting, in parallel, the team failed at GAM3RS_X EU Champions Fall 2022, showing a terrible game.

Then fnatic played as part of the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, where at some point she was hanging by a thread from relegation. However, we must admit that the team was frankly lucky with the net, since even the Chinese will come out with such rivals.

In general, I don't have much faith in fnatic as the team is quite unstable. In addition, there is nothing special about her that one could cling to at a distance.

fnatic's latest results:

• Victory over Aurora with a score of 16:4.
• Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 17:19.
• Defeated by B8 with a score of 9:16.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over 1WIN with a score of 2:0.

Best fnatic cards:

• Vertigo - 100% wins.
• Overpass - 88% of wins.
• Nuke - 75% win rate.
• Ancient - 73% of wins.

In turn, keita's wards have not played on the Dust 2 map for a long time.

Prediction for the match Cloud9 — fnatic

In general, I have nothing to add to this fight. Yes, my favorite is clear. In turn, I have big doubts about fnatic - here you still need to look at further opponents and figure out the options after the fact.

As for Cloud9, the class team should go further. Perhaps, I won’t believe in a 3-0 from the Russian team, but otherwise the guys are much stronger than their rivals.

Well, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Cloud9 team.
