PERA vs BIG Prediction 3 May 2024

PERA sent Ninjas in Pyjamas to the Last Chance stage and will now try not to end up there themselves. In the lower bracket semifinals of Group D, we will see a confrontation between PERA and BIG. Can the players, who are ranked 111th in the HLTV ranking, surprise us again?

Team Description
PERA managed to perform well at PGL Major and is now continuing to show good results at ESL Pro League. On the second day of the current tournament, luck was on PERA's side. In a tense fight, they were able to defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas with a score of 2-1, thus securing a long-awaited victory at a LAN tournament. The team shows such results considering that the current lineup was formed just a month ago.

At the moment, BIG have a promising lineup with good players, who have yet to find their game. The team started the tournament with a hard-fought victory over the outsiders BOSS, while the start of the second match against the major champion was more confidently advantageous in terms of rounds. However, after defeating Natus Vincere on the first map, BIG could not bring it to a close and managed to win only 10 rounds in total for the remaining two maps.

Editorial Prediction
BIG are definitely a higher-level team and are rightfully considered the favorites of the match. However, PERA put up a tight fight in both matches of the tournament. We believe that the current match will also not end in a rout by the German team. PERA will definitely not give up without a fight, and if luck is on their side, then not without a map either. Therefore, our bet is on PERA handicap (+1.5) with an odds of 2.14.
