Match Prediction: NaVi - G2 Esports | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Katowice 2022NAVI and G2 will compete for the right to get to the grand finals of IEM Katowice 2022. I would not like to touch on the events taking place in the world now, but this situation definitely hit NAVI. At least the team missed one training day, spending an incredible amount of emotions along the way. Therefore, in this case, G2 will have chances to impose their game and for the first time in a long time to be stronger than the Born to Win.
Form NAVI
The first team of the world ranking performed very shaky at the group stage of IEM Katowice 2022. Firstly, the team outplayed ENCE with great difficulty. Secondly, NAVI gave an incredible comeback in the game with FaZe Clan on Mirage. However, what happened next definitely took the team's thoughts aside. One way or another, "Born to Win" has not yet fully come into shape, showing a rather crumpled game with an abundance of errors. In this regard, NAVI may have problems if NiKo and the company approach the game in the right mood.
Latest NAVI results:
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over NIP with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2:1.
The best NAVI maps:
- Dust 2 - 80% of wins.
- Nuke - 78% of wins.
- Mirage - 70% of wins.
- Inferno - 67% of wins.
At the same time, the team will definitely not play on the Vertigo map.
Form G2
The fifth team in the world ranking failed at the start of IEM Katowice 2022, having managed to lose to fnatic. However, further on, the team gradually groped for its game, simultaneously passing not the easiest, but also not the easiest opponents. The main achievement of G2 at the tournament happened in the quarterfinals, as the team closed Virtus.pro on shooting and morale. With such a victory, the team can quickly believe in themselves, thereby wanting to outplay their main kryptonite - NAVI.
Latest G2 results:
- Defeated by fnatic with a score of 1:2.
- The victory over Liquid with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2:1.

At the same time, the team will definitely not risk the Overpass card.
Match statistics NAVI — G2
As part of the last season, the teams held four meetings, all of which were left to NAVI players.
Prediction for the match NAVI — G2
The main answers to "why" and "how" I touched above. In any case, NAVI did not show the most confident game, making them doubt themselves as the undisputed favorite of the championship. G2, on the other hand, was clearly overwhelmed after the strong-willed and morally important victory over Virtus.pro. In addition, NiKo and company have another advantage - an additional match after the pause. However, at their favorite pick, NAVI is still strong and dangerous. Therefore, expecting to see a fight, I suggest betting more on Total cards 2.5.
