Прогноз на матч CS2 Cloud9 - Astralis

Cloud9 and Astralis will compete for the right to get into the playoffs of Roobet Cup 2022. At this stage, we can say with confidence that the Russian team is the favorite of the fight. Moreover, Astralis does not seem to be a formidable opponent online, although the team as a whole is experiencing problems.

In turn, Cloud9 won a major championship at the beginning of the month, showing character. It is clear that it is too early to judge by the return of the team to the leader group, but I do not believe in Astralis at all.

If you look at the statistics, then this season Cloud9 has already managed to upset the wards of trace, even if it managed to lose on the Dust 2 map. However, in this case, I'm more inclined to defeat, what do you think?

Form Cloud9

The fourth team in the world ranking became the winner of IEM Dallas 2022 at the beginning of the month. Remarkably, the Russian team showed a really mature game at the LAN tournament, as well as the start of the defeat of ENCE in the grand final with a score of 3:0.

Now the team has returned to Moscow, which is the most interesting, having gathered at their favorite bootcamp. As for the start of the Roobet Cup 2022, the Russian team closed Complexity in the class.

Cloud9's problem was the Inferno map, where the team could burn out. But after half an hour the team finally woke up and gave a comeback. And I do not think that this will greatly affect the future prospects of the guys.

At the same time, the Russian team continues to refuse the Nuke card.

Astralis shape

The twelfth team in the world ranking last played at the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022, where it reached the grand final. However, the team once again failed to achieve its goal, losing to Heroic.

Nevertheless, the Danish team started with a victory in the Roobet Cup 2022. Moreover, Astralis messed with Movistar Riders twice on the Mirage map, since the meeting had to be postponed for a day due to problems with the server.

I won't say that the command looked great, because the main idea is still the same - we run blameF forward and wait for minus three. But in big matches this is read, and I expect Astralis to burn out with such a strategy, and the team simply does not have a plan B for the game.

Match statistics Cloud9 — Astralis

As part of the current season, the teams had one meeting - at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B, the victory went to Cloud9 (2:1).

Prediction for the match Cloud9 — Astralis

Based on the game of the Danes at a distance, I can hardly believe that they will be able to impose a fight on Cloud9. It is clear that Astralis will want to pick the Overpass map, where the team succeeds, but I do not think that the opponent will not prepare for this.

In turn, Cloud9 is doing well so far. You can immediately forget about Inferno with Complexity, because there the team managed to wake up and give a comeback. It is much more logical to look at the distance, where the team has a good winning streak over tough opponents.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Cloud9 to win with a score of 2:0. I will explain this by the fact that I do not believe in the structure of Astralis, the game of which is tailored for one person. And if blameF is closed, then this is an easy match for the Russian team.
