G2 and Heroic ill face each other the group A Best of 3 at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe (Online) tournament. This will be their fourth encounter, and G2 leads 2-1.

G2 has lost on just one of the last eight duels and has a win rate of 64.7% in the past three months. G2 has already won against OG and GODSENT at this tournament, and they have five more matches left in this group. Only three teams of the sixteen at this tournament are ranked higher than them (Vitality #1, Heroic #2, and BIG #4). On three maps, they had a 50/50 effect, and that is on Mirage, Dust2, and Inferno. They played a bit better on Nuke 54.5% and Train 62.5% and the best on Vertigo 80.0% in the previous three months. Their first pick is Dust2, and Overpass is their first ban.

After winning the first place at the ESL One Cologne 2020 Europe, Heroic got off to a bad start at this tournament with two defeats by AGO and ENCE. They have a win rate of 63.3% in the past three months. During that time, they played horribly on Dust2 14.3% (1W 6L), while they had a positive record on all other maps. Nuke is their first pick, and Overpass the first ban. On Train, they have five victories in a row. They still don't have a new coach after the dismissal of the Danish expert.

Pick: Total maps over 2.5 (110 @PINNACLE)

Although the Heroic is ranked better, the bookmakers chose G2 as their favorite. Each of their duels was played to the maximum number of maps, and I think it will be the same on this match as well.
