Match Prediction: Vitality - G2 Esports | Counter-Strike (CS2)
BLAST Premier Fall 2022 GroupsVitality and G2 will meet in the semi-finals of the Play-In stage at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. The winner will advance to NAVI, which almost automatically knocks them out to the Last Chance stage.
As for this confrontation, it is really difficult to choose a favorite here. On the one hand, Vitality played well in the group stage, even though they lost in the quartet final.
On the other hand, G2 failed in the group, but managed to crush BIG the day before, showing a crazy game. And yet, both teams are similar to each other in the sense that they are still too unstable and often make mistakes, first of all, in difficult times.
Form Vitality
The seventh team in the world ranking had a great start in the group stage of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. Then the Danish-French team got two quick wins over OG and Ninjas in Pajamas, as it seemed, having created a bid.
However, in the final of the quartet, Vitality could not cope with Astralis, which is strange. And yet, the team cannot yet be called integral, since it makes many stupid mistakes.
However, now we are talking about BO3, where there will be much more space to turn around. It remains only to understand what the team has come up with these days and whether it can find arguments for the opponent.
Vitality's latest results:
- Defeated by Movistar Riders with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over OG with a score of 16:11.
- Victory over Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 16:12.
- Defeated by Astralis with a score of 17:19.
Best Vitality cards:
- Nuke - 57% win rate
- Overpass - 57% of wins.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% win rate.
- Inferno - 50% win rate.
It is worth recalling that the Danish-French team is refusing the Ancient map.
Form G2
The fourteenth team in the world ranking failed at the group stage of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where they lost two matches on the Mirage map and went to rest.
Honestly, then G2 could be buried, because there was no game, no shooting. Nevertheless, the team managed to wake up, so much so that they took BIG forward with their feet.
And yet, I cannot fully assess the chances of a team whose whole game depends on successful shooting. And the fact that at the right time someone will not kill in the back is alarming.
Latest G2 results:
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by Team Liquid with a score of 12:16.
- Lost to NAVI with a score of 14:16.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.
Best G2 Maps:
- Ancient - 100% win rate.
- Inferno - 57% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% win rate.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
In turn, the European team continues to refuse the Overpass map.

Prediction for the match Vitality — G2
G2 pleasantly surprised me yesterday, but it's hard for me to believe in the stability of such a result. In turn, Vitality showed signs of life in the group despite the loss to Astralis.
In addition, in this match, very cool shooters will converge in front of us (with the exception of HooXi). And to be honest, it is very difficult to single out one favorite.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
