Przewidywanie meczu G2 Esports - Natus Vincere

At the moment, Natus Vincere is one of the best teams on the professional CS:GO scene and hold the fourth place in the rate of the best teams by HLTV.org. Last weekend, S1mple and the company demonstrated a perfect game in the tournament DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018, where held the second place, having lost only to Astralis in the grand final.

With regard to ESL Pro League Season 7, Natus Vincere has already earned a slot in the LAN final and are coming to the match against G2 eSports, holding the first place in their division, and seven teams will advance to the next stage. The Ukrainian team made a draw with Space Soldiers and Heroic and also lost to NiP during the division. The rest of opponents were beaten by S1mple and the company without an effort. In the first match, Na’Vi is a home side, so they have a right to choose a map and they have decided to play on de_mirage. This year, Flamie and the company have played 17 times on the map on the professional stage and earned a point 10 times. In general, de_mirage is one of the best maps of Natus Vincere in the whole history of the club and their win rate amounts 61% of 246 played matches.

In its turn, G2 faces a recession after the departure of the team’s leader - Richard «shox» Papillon. Óscar «mixwell» Cañellas joined the team, however, the team’s results became significantly worse and the roster was moved out from the top five of the best teams by HLTV.org to the 11th place in two-three months. After the joining of the Spanish, the team took part in Intel Extreme Masters XII - World Championship and DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018, however, they were not lucky to achieve a place higher than 9th-12th. The team also failed the European qualifiers to Intel Extreme Masters XIII - Sydney, where held the 3rd-4th place.

At ESL Pro League Season 7, G2 eSports holds the 10th place and only wonder will help them to advance to the LAN final - teams that hold the 7th-9th position will have to lose their matches and the French will have to beat Na’Vi with a score 2:0. KennyS and the company won 11 maps and lost 13 ones during the European division. De_mirage is not so lucky for G2 eSports because the guys have played on it 17 times in 2018 and won only 8 of them. In general, de_mirage was played 77 times and the general win rate amounts 50.6% during the time of existence of the CS:GO.

Bookmakers think that Natus Vincere is a favorite of the map and offer odds for their victory equal to 1.64, while G2 eSports’ triumph is evaluated as 2.1. We think that Na’Vi will beat the French on the map, especially, considering that are motivated to fight as they had guaranteed themselves a slot in the LAN final two days before, however, didn’t relax and continues destroying their opponents.

The second map was picked by the team G2 eSports and they decided to play on de_cobblestone, which is a bit strange as the team has played only 8 times on this map in 2018 and Natus Vincere confidently beat Fnatic on de_cobblestone. It is worth to notice that G2 eSports have won five of eight matches on the above-mentioned map and have a good win rate.

Natus Vincere also played nine matches on de_cobblestone this year and achieved five victories too. It is worth to notice that Na’Vi and G2 faced on the map two times over the last year and the French won two of them.

Bookmakers offer odds 1.7 and 1.9, which is considered to be “equal chances”. We would not advise you to bet all your money on one of the teams in this match as the teams had a very little number of matches on de_cobblestone and the statistics show that the chances to win are almost equal.

As a result, we tend to Natus Vincere’s victory by the end of two maps, however, G2 eSports will have to use every mistake of the opponent because they need a victory to advance to the final stage.
