Matchförutsägelse: Rare Atom - IHC | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Rare Atom and IHC will meet in the third round of the Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 3 group stage. The Chinese team almost guaranteed a place in the playoffs, while IHC hung itself in the balance of relegation.

However, the Mongolian team is to blame itself, since such an absurd game will not work in the playoffs. In turn, Rare Atom still looks very cool, so the Chinese look a little better.

So I can't agree with odds that lean in favor of IHC. It is clear that the team will have more motivation, but the very fact of the decline is visible to the naked eye.

Rare Atom shape

The 85th team in the world ranking failed at the end of last season, as it took a long time to get used to the updated line-up. And yet, towards the end of December, the Chinese team became the champion of eXTREMESLAND Festival 2022, where they showed a very strong Counter-Strike.

And at the start of Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 3, Rare Atom managed to get two victories to make themselves known. As a result, we get a team that is in fact in its place. And I would not say that the Chinese are weaker than their future rival.

• Victory over TrEa with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over TYLOO with a score of 2:0.

Form IHC

The 27th team in the world ranking, on the contrary, held the bar high in the second half of last season, reaching the finals at the IESF World Championship 2022 and ESL Challenger League Season 43 Asia-Pacific.

However, the Mongolian team failed at the same eXTREMESLAND Festival 2022, however, there was already a meeting with Lynn Vision in the quarterfinals.

However, at the start of Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 3, the guys only proved that there are still problems, as IHC managed to lose to Eruption and put themselves in an awkward position.

Prediction for the match Rare Atom — IHC

Firstly, there is a serious decline in the game of the Mongolian team, which also has to run between championships. Secondly, the Chinese nevertheless found a balance and again began to win in difficult matches, which was not the case for about half a year. Therefore, given the totality of facts and what I saw in previous matches, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Rare Atom team.
