Prediction for the match NaVi – Vitality

NAVI and Vitality will meet in the quarterfinals of PGL Major Stockholm 2021 on November 5, 2021. I would like to note that the game will be like a whole grand final. I would like to note that Navi are ready to win, but Vitality are not ready. The NaVi team showed three confident games, which showed that they are ready to win any team in Stockholm.

Navi CS:GO team in Major

The top 1 team in the world is the most important favorite of the entire tournament. They started from the Legend stage and showed only confident victories there. The strongest game was against NiP where they pulled back hard. And also did not lose points and their ardor at the entrance of the tournament. It looks like it will be the easiest million dollar for the team and the first major win in a long time.

Latest NAVI results
Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2:0.

The best NAVI maps
Nuke – 100% win rate.
Ancient – 80% of wins.
Mirage – 78% of wins.
Inferno – 75% of wins.
Overpass – 67% of wins.
Dust 2 – 50% win rate.

More than predictable is that they will refuse to play the Vertigo map, then the French can take Dust 2 to show the same game.

Vitality team at Major 2021 CS:GO

The team is ranked 3rd in the world rankings and with big problems got into the playoffs of the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 tournament. Their start in the tournament was extremely bad, they immediately lost to BO1. After that, they had to recoup on Evil Geniuses, Astralis and Entropiq. I would like to note with such a game, they definitely have nothing to do in this tournament. And some of the team’s players are very weak, and in some places it seems they don’t understand a lot.

Vitality’s latest results:
Defeat from Virtus.pro with a score of 14:16.
Defeat from Heroic with a score of 12:16.
Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:1.
Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:1.
Victory over Entropiq with a score of 2:1.

Best Vitality cards:
Nuke – 78% of wins.
Mirage – 78% of wins.
Vertigo – 70% of wins.
Dust 2 – 71% win rate
Inferno – 64% of wins.
Overpass – 56% of wins.

It is unlikely that the team will want to play the Ancient map, because they did not prepare it, but the preparation for the others is weak. If they win Navi, it will be a real phenomenon.

Prediction for the match NAVI — Vitality

We do not see a victory here from the French. Of course they have two days to prepare for their strong opponent. Will they be able to show a good game and understanding? We think so, but of course it is weak to believe in it.

“Born to Win” guys played very strong maps, sometimes against strong teams. They have shown that they have already prepared for their weak cards, and have almost no weak cards. You can bet on the victory of Navi, you can additionally bet on Handicap (+10.5) in rounds for Navi.
