In the first round match at the "legends" stage of the tournament in Rio de Janeiro IEM Major 2022, the European Sprout team will play against BIG from Germany.
SproutThe Danish team last played on HLTV on October 25 in the first round of the top bracket at ESL Challenger League Season 43 Europe.
Then in the game of the VO3 format Sprout won a crushing victory over the Polish team UNGENTIUM – 16:8 Ancient (opponent's peak) and 16:5 Overpass.
BIGThe German team, in turn, confidently passed the "contenders" stage in Brazil.
BIG made one misfire in the VO1 format game in the opening match, but then the Germans gained momentum and eventually went further due to three consecutive victories. In their last match of the VO3 format, which was on the second of November, BIG beat 9z from South America quite confidently on two cards – 16:4 Nuke (the opponent's peak) and 19:15 Dust2.
ForecastIn this match, BIG is quite rightly considered by the bookmakers to be a fairly clear favorite.
In a VO1 format game, the German team may still have problems, but we still also suggest that you bet on BIG.
