Match Prediction: Team Liquid - paiN Gaming | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Liquid and paiN will meet in the quarterfinals of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 North America. The Brazilians are unlikely to be able to impose their game and come up with something in this match, since Liquid is now at a different level. Therefore, here I am confident in an easy victory for the North American team.

Form Liquid

The 13th team in the world ranking became the fifth in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Americas RMR. Immediately after that, the North American team qualified for IEM Dallas 2022 without losing a single match. Everything goes to the fact that Liquid is systematically preparing for the Major. And at this stage, I like what this command shows. And the Mirage map as part of the RMR tournament is still in memory.

Liquid's latest results:

• Victory over paiN with a score of 16:1.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Gaimin Gladiators with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:0.

Best Liquid cards:

• Vertigo - 75% of wins.
• Mirage - 73% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 60% of wins.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.

I note that the team stopped playing on the Nuke map.

Pain form

The 34th team in the world ranking did not make it to the PGL Major Antwerp 2022, although they were in tie-breaks. As a result, the Brazilians finally swam, having failed in the open qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2022. In general, everything is very clear with paiN - the team failed to achieve what they wanted and slowed down a bit. In this regard, I do not believe that the team will somehow show itself at BLAST.

pain's latest results:

At the same time, the Brazilian team almost never plays on Inferno.

Prediction for the match Liquid — paiN

Quite an unambiguous duel, in which everything depends on the mood of Liquid. Although I doubt that the Brazilians will be able to perform anything at all if they manage to lose to Gaimin Gladiators. I won't mention Mirage at all. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Liquid team with a score of 2:0.
