Прогноз на матч CS2 Astralis - ASG

Astralis and ASG will meet in the first round of PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR B. I'm not sure that the Russian team will have enough motivation to beat the favorite. Yes, and Astralis had almost a week to prepare, knowing the name of the opponent in advance. Therefore, in this case, the Danes should easily close on any map.

Astralis shape

The tenth team in the world ranking recently reached the quarterfinals of ESL Pro League Season 15, where it was quite logical to lose to FURIA. And in general, the Danes cannot show anything in principled meetings, often making mistakes out of the blue. On the other hand, the team began to show stable results with lower level teams. Because of this fact, Astralis should take an easy win at the start of the RMR tournament.

Astralis latest results:

• Victory over AGO with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to NAVI with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Entropiq with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from FURIA with a score of 1:2.

Best Astralis cards:

• Ancient - 73% of wins.
• Nuke - 71% of wins.
• Overpass - 56% of wins.

Moreover, the team can ban both Dust 2 and Mirage with Vertigo.

Form ASG

The 47th team in the world ranking qualified for the PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR, which is already a sensation. However, the rest of the Russian team is not impressive, because they cannot show a stable game in other championships. So, at the last ESEA Season 40: Advanced Division - Europe, the team took only 7-8th place, which is an obvious failure.

Latest ASG results:

• Victory over QUAZAR with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over INDE IRAE with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from 1shot with a score of 1:2.
• Defeated by VP.Prodigy with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Trident with a score of 2:1.

Best ASG cards:

• Mirage - 100% wins.
• Ancient - 83% of wins.
• Inferno - 71% of wins.

I note that the Russian team avoids Vertigo.

Prediction for the match Astralis — ASG

Something tells me that the teams will come to the Ancient map, which is convenient for everyone. In any case, the Danes should not flood such matches, and ASG does not even seem to be a “dark horse”. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Astralis team with Handicap in rounds (-3.5).
