BIG vs paiN Gaming Predictions

BIG and paiN Gaming will face off on Friday, December 6, 2024, in the Round 3 Low Match at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, where they’ll fight for survival. Both Counter-Strike squads have dropped their last two matches, leaving them with no more room for error as another loss will see them go packing.

BIG enter this match billed as favourites, but given their more recent performances, that is hard to justify. PaiN Gaming haven’t accomplished much more of late, but they have looked stabler, and with a deeper map pool, the Brazilians should do more than fine in a BO3.

BIG and paiN Gaming have never met before.

BIG Form

BIG haven’t produced the most inspiring results so far at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. They barely made it through the opening stage with wins against Passion UA, Virtus.pro, and Complexity, and have hardly looked any better in the elimination stage – with losses against HEROIC and G2 Esports.

In BIG’s defence, they had to play G2 Esports and HEROIC, but they’ve also managed to win just 12 rounds over the two maps played, with the second-worst average performance rating at 0.81.

PaiN Gaming Form

PaiN Gaming, like BIG, have lost their first two games of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 elimination stage against MOUZ (6-13) and 3DMAX (11-13), which is not a good look. However, unlike BIG, paiN Gaming have played clean Counter-Strike and have a lot more to show.

As a unit, paiN Gaming have averaged a 0.91 performance rating, which is still in the bottom four of the stage but still significantly better than BIG, who have four of five players with an average of 0.79 or below.

Verdict

BIG v paiN Gaming

On paper, this looks like a 50/50 match between two teams who have no chance of accomplishing anything at the top level of Counter-Strike. Yet the eye test proves paiN Gaming are performing better than BIG and are less disjointed as a unit.

Moreover, paiN Gaming boast a better map win rate on five of seven maps in the rotation, which should put them in an excellent spot to walk away from this BO3 victorious.
