paiN Gaming and Imperial Esports will fight for the right to get to the grand finals of FlowFiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals. Interestingly, only in the last month and a half, the teams played three matches, two of which went to paiN Gaming.
But at the same time, we must not forget that at the recent RMR tournament, the victory just went to Imperial Esports, and with a dry score. In general, we are definitely in for an interesting meeting, which attracts not only with its standings, but also with the derby factor.
And yet, I would not consider Imperial Esports as an unconditional favorite, since paiN Gaming can extract mistakes from the last match and catch the opponent on some relaxation, which, I state, is still there.
form paiN Gaming
The 23rd ranked team in the world played horribly at the recent IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR. Yes, the Brazilian team managed to get three victories and seemed to be aiming for a major.
However, even during the main stage, paiN Gaming made blunders and, on the whole, looked stiff. As a result, the team lost to Imperial Esports in tie-breaks, showing far from the most confident game.
If we talk about the start at FlowFiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals, here the team hardly outplayed MASONIC, almost letting go of the meeting. However, with such victories, paiN Gaming can come back a bit and believe in themselves again.

The 20th team in the world ranking, on the contrary, was able to unwind in the recent IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR. Moreover, the Brazilians had a very modest start, since they twice hung in the balance from relegation.
Nevertheless, in the end, Imperial Esports managed to finish the game with victories over TeamOne and Noun, and after that it turned out to be stronger than paiN Gaming and Complexity in tie-breaks for the slot.
Moreover, at the start of FlowFiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals, the team showed a stable game, having managed to beat Isurus. However, Imperial Esports clearly relaxed as too many mistakes and chances were made the day before.

Prediction for match paiN Gaming vs Imperial Esports
If you remember, there was a very equal match at the RMR tournament in Stockholm, where paiN Gaming was close to the map twice. In any case, it seemed to me that Imperial Esports is now a little relaxed, because there were questions about the game the day before, and I personally quote Isurus below MASONIC.
Plus, we understand that it is convenient for paiN Gaming to pick Dust 2, where the chances of keeping up the pace and imposing their game are much higher. Well, Imperial Esports will certainly start from the Overpass map.
In general, I do not see the victory of any team. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the paiN Gaming team.
