BIG vs Entropiq Prediction: Who will win in the opening match?

Roobet Cup 2022 is a $250,000 online tournament featuring 16 teams from around the world. Notably, FaZe, ENCE, Cloud9, and other top teams worldwide will be participating in this event. At the same time, there isn't a single team here that isn't in the top 30. So, the event promises to be quite interesting, unpredictable, and entertaining.

The tournament will be held in two stages. The first is the group stage, in which there will be 4 groups of 4 teams. All matches are BO3, and the best 2 teams from each group have to advance. In the play-off phase, there will only be 8 teams left, and they will play in a Single-Elimination format, where there will also be a BO3, including a grand final.

In the debut match at Roobet Cup 2022, BIG will play against Entropiq. Will this be another victory for the Russian team, or will the Germans be able to take revenge? The answer to that question, we will find out very soon.

The German band now performs stably on the Tier-1 level, but at the same time, their results are quite unstable. For example, in the recent BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022, the team tabseN took 7-8 place and couldn't win a single match. However, before BLAST, the Germans played the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022 and IEM Dallas 2022, where they ended up in 3rd place, which is a good result. I would also like to point out the last major, which also didn't work out for BIG. Team tabseN could win only 1 match out of 4 against Brazilians from Imperial. It is important to note that these tournaments were held in a LAN tournament. As many know, the Germans play better online, as evidenced by the first place in the HLTV.org ranking during the pandemic and the lack of LAN tournaments. So, Roobet Cup 2022 could be very productive for the German squad, and there is even a chance of qualifying for the final. In the debut match, BIG will play against Entropiq, who has already played twice this year. In both online matches, the Russian team won. So there's plenty of motivation to win. The only question is whether they will have time to prepare for this event, given that the interval between BLAST and Roobet is less than a week. It's worth noting that despite Entropiq's past victories, they now play mostly qualifiers and tier-2 tournaments, while BIG plays only tier-1 events. Perhaps this is the Germans' main advantage in this clash. In terms of map pool, the teams are the same. Both teams have a 0% win rate on inferno, and their best map is overpass. Most likely, BIG will pick nuke, and Entropiq will pick vertigo. The teams will not forget overpass and play it as a decisive map.

The German team is currently ranked 11th among the world's best teams.

The best map in BIG is overpass, with 60% of the wins for the 5 games played.

The tabseN team's worst map is inferno with 0% wins.

Entropiq is quite a promising team that just a week ago underwent a decathlon. Lack1 was replaced by mir, known for his performances in Vega Squadron and Team Spirit. It is a very powerful addition to the team, which should strengthen the individual play of the entire squad. Based on the fact that the team is already experienced, there should be no problems with adapting the new player. But, at the same time, one should not expect any super-powerful results soon. These reshuffles were badly needed because the team has now reduced its turnover and performs practically on open and closed qualifications. So the Roobet Cup 2022 is a great opportunity for the Russian team to show themselves and their level of play. The opening match against BIG will be quite interesting as Entropiq have experience playing the Germans and a chance of beating them for the third time. But unfortunately, those chances are extremely slim, as the Russian team is not yet in the best playing shape, and now they have to get back to the level they were at the beginning of the year. As we already mentioned, this is a promising team, and it's quite possible that they can reach the same stable tier-1 level as the German team shortly. But right now, the Krad team clearly doesn't seem to be favorites against BIG and the tournament. At the same time, the Russian team will not let up and will win 100% on one of the maps, but this will be its maximum.

The Russian team is currently in 21st place in the rankings of the best teams, according to HLTV.org.

The best map of Entropiq is overpass, with 67% of wins for 6 games played.

Krad's worst map is inferno with a 0% win rate.

This will be a tight encounter, which in my opinion, will go over all 3 maps and the odds are 1.99.

The winner of this clash, in my opinion, will be BIG, who will win with a score of 2-1 for 3.38.

Also, a good option is Total Over 26.5 rounds on the first map for 1.86.
