Matchförutsägelse: BIG - Team Spirit | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2023BIG and Team Spirit will meet in the first round of the lower bracket of the IEM Katowice 2023 group stage. The loser will be eliminated from the championship, while the winner will advance to the next round and remain in the fight for a place in the playoffs.
To be honest, the German team and the group stage are two completely different concepts. And it seems to me that here BIG will fall off very quickly and go to rest.
As for Team Spirit, the team is still hitting a wall, because there are ideas, but their implementation is lame. And while the “dragons” lack experience, they will lose the same way as the day before in the game with FaZe Clan.
However, I would not classify the Germans as such strong opponents that will break the structure. In this regard, I count on the victory of Team Spirit, since BIG has enough of its own problems that you can put pressure on.
Form BIG
The sixteenth team of the world ranking performed unsuccessfully in the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, where they suffered two devastating defeats from G2 and Ninjas in Pajamas, and in general did not show anything.
However, in the Play-In, the German team showed a little more logic, as they not only closed Team Liquid, but also competed with the Danes from Heroic.
However, BIG continued to pick up the pace at the start of IEM Katowice 2023, where they got two wins over Complexity and FURIA in the Play-In. However, at the start of the group stage, the Germans expectedly lost to G2, again showing their worst side.
Latest BIG results:
- The victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2:0.
- Defeat from Heroic with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 16:12.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2:1.
- Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
Best BIG cards:
- Anubis - 50% win rate.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
- Nuke - 50% win rate.
It is worth noting that the German team is experimenting and refuses different maps, adjusting to the opponent.
Team Spirit Uniform
The thirteenth team of the world ranking did not finish the ESL Challenger League Season 43 Europe at the end of the last season, where they took only the second place after two consecutive defeats from SAW.
Here the Russian team started at IEM Katowice 2023, where they completed their task in the Play-In, getting two wins over Grayhound and Sprout in three matches.
However, in the first round of the group stage, Team Spirit failed to cope with FaZe Clan. First of all, here the team buried itself, overdoing it with rounds. Secondly, the "dragons" do not yet have enough experience and endurance, as the guys often close up and sag.
Team Spirit latest results:
- Defeated by SAW with a score of 1:3.
- Victory over Grayhound with a score of 16:6.
- Lost to Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Sprout with a score of 2:1.
- Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.
Best Team Spirit maps:
- Ancient - 83% of wins.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
In turn, the Russian team continues to refuse the Inferno map.

Prediction for the match BIG — Team Spirit
First of all, I look at the stability of BIG and see the trend that the Germans never jump above their heads in big tournaments and in important matches. It is clear that they can beat Complexity and FURIA, but more often there are stories, such as in the game against G2.
In turn, Team Spirit lacks confidence, which is why the team constantly loses in games against the giants. However, with less representative rivals, the "dragons" usually open up, which I expect this time too.
Summing up, the Germans will again play number two, creating time for the Russian team to think. And given that BIG is very easy to read, "dragons" should take their toll.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Team Spirit to win.
