In the third round of the tournament in Rio de Janeiro IEM Major 2022 at the candidates stage, the German BIG team will play against Grayhound from Australia.
BIGThe German team, like the Australian team, was very surprised yesterday in the second matches of the tournament.
In the games of the format of the B1 BIG could well take two wins and get rid of unnecessary problems, but in their second match the German team managed to lose on the map Dust2 Bad News Eagles from Kosovo. At the same time, it is not the defeat itself that is particularly surprising, which may well happen with this format, but the course of the meeting. BIG after the first half of the card for the defense side led with the score 11:4, but then the Germans just stopped showing the team game and just ran around the map, as a result they played to defeat with the score 11:16.
GrayhoundThe team from Australia made a huge sensation in its second match of the VO1 format.
Grayhound on the Dust2 map managed to beat the Russian team Cloud9 with a score of 19:17. After the first half of the card, Grayhound lost 5:10 for the attacking side, but due to a competent game in defense, the Australian team was able to turn the course of the match in its favor.
ForecastIn this match of the VO1 format, BIG is of course considered a clear favorite among bookmakers.
At the same time, the team from Germany this time should already play as collected as possible, so as not to get very serious problems and not be on the verge of relegation from the tournament. Due to the difference in class, BIG should win confidently, and therefore we suggest that you bet on a total of less than 26.5 rounds.
