G2 vs BetBoom Prediction 23 January 2025

📢Which team will advance to the semifinals of the 1st season of BLAST Bounty? In the upcoming match, teams G2 and BetBoom will face off. In our prediction, we will analyze the match in more detail and try to determine if the underdog has any chances of winning.

G2

📝Thanks to their successes in the previous season, G2 continue to hold the 2nd position in the world ranking by HLTV. However, despite all their achievements, the "samurais" were forced to start the current year without their key player - NiKo, who decided to move to Falcons. His replacement, HeavyGod, showed good performance in the initial matches, where the team defeated B8 and BIG with a score of 2:1. However, it remains in question whether the new player can demonstrate the same results at LANs against tier-1 opponents.

BetBoom

📝During the off-season, BetBoom strengthened their roster by signing players Boombl4 and Ax1Le. The team performed excellently in the first matches of the current tournament, winning against MOUZ and FURIA with a score of 2:1. However, due to visa issues in the final stage, the team will be competing with two substitutes. Nafany and KaiR0N, who were benched two months ago, have stepped in. Although they had previously played together for over a year, it will now be challenging for them to regain optimal form in such a short time.

Editor's Prediction

📊Notably, both teams' first 2 matches in the current season ended with three maps. This match could have ended similarly if BetBoom had arrived at the tournament with their main roster. However, the Russian team will be playing without their new captain and main sniper, which, in our view, will not allow them to win a single map. Therefore, in this matchup, we are betting on a G2 victory with a score of 2:0.
