BIG vs Cloud9 Prediction: Don't write off the German team

Prediction for the match between BIG and Cloud9 which will take place on October 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The German team became a surprise guest in the final match. If the victory over 9INE did not surprise anyone, the upsets over ENCE with a dry score became unpredictable even for analysts. Four players from BIG are in the top 10 of the individual ranking, and Krimbo tops it. He is also posting an insane 94 damage per round, with tabseN coming in second with 88 damage.

BIG's style of play is all about discipline quality play for defense. The team won 62% of their rounds for the CT side, and 75% of their pistol rounds won on the four maps of BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown EU. The German team does a great job on grenades, with 39 damage per round on average and three out of ten kills from blinding. All statistics confirm that tabseN and the company play great defense. Don't let your emotions get the best of you and break down in the decisive match for the BLAST Premier: Fall Finals.

BIG has often upset teams in the top 10 HLTV rankings. At ESL Pro League Season 18, the Germans beat Heroic, now against ENCE. Cloud9 allows itself to lose to tier-2 teams, so BIG theoretically has a chance for another sensation. Only two questions are of interest here: what kind of form is Cloud9 in, and how will the recent successes affect BIG?

Cloud9 is in big trouble after the Resafl, and even amid the latest results, there was talk of replacing HObbit with Boombl4. However, Abay is not ready to leave Cloud9 and is on par with his teammates to have the best event in recent months. The team had no problems in the quarterfinals with Movistar Riders, and in the semifinals, they were stronger than G2, especially on the third map.

As Cloud9 players admitted, HObbit became the captain for this tournament. It is still unknown whether this reshuffle is a preparation before the replacement or whether the Kazakh is ready to take the game into his own hands. Either way, it has allowed electroNic to be relieved of his captain duties and focus on his shooting, which he is doing quite well. His contribution in the quarterfinals was extremely high. However, all five Cloud9 players are in the top 11 of the individual rankings.

According to the BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown EU stats, Cloud9 is excellent at executing their offense and winning 70% of their rounds for side T, realizing 96% of 5x4 situations and 53% of 4x5 situations. Considering that, on paper, Cloud9 has the strongest roster in the world right now, a loss can only happen due to internal issues. On a normal day, Cloud9 is two heads stronger than BIG.

We should not write off the German squad, but Cloud9 is so strong, even in poor form, that they can overlook their opponent in the final. Abai has something to prove in front of his teammates. His teammates need wins and exits to prestigious tournaments, especially since the bookmakers' odds allow you to take less risky outcomes at high quotes.
