Прогноз на матч CS2 G2 Esports - Astralis

G2 and Astralis will meet in the semi-final of the lower bracket of the IEM Dallas 2022 group stage. Nothing new can be said about the game of the Danish team, as it continues to stick to its line, playing too fragmented. In turn, G2 still looks good in the championship, even if it lost to ENCE the night before. Although, when NiKo does not kill in the back, you should not expect anything else, but still Astralis has big gaps in the game plan.

Form G2

The seventh team in the world ranking failed at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, stopping one step away from reaching the playoffs. As for the start at IEM Dallas 2022, here the team did not feel the Spaniards from Movistar Riders at all.

However, in the semi-finals of the upper bracket, G2 failed to cope with ENCE, losing both maps with a score of 14:16. I don't know what the team lacked in that match, but the start to Dust 2 was just terrible. And yet, in total, the “samurai” are not so bad, since the opponent is experiencing much more difficulties.

Latest G2 results:

• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 17:19.
• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from FURIA with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 16:5.
• Lost to ENCE with a score of 0:2.

Best G2 Maps:

• Inferno - 100% win rate.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

At the same time, we understand that the team will definitely refuse the Overpass map.

Astralis shape

The 12th team in the world ranking failed at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 without even getting into the “legends” stage. But what is most offensive is that the team does not want to change their game in any way, hoping to implement the starting aggression from a couple of blameF and k0nfig.

So, at the start of IEM Dallas 2022, the Danes lost to Vitality, showing a terrible game on Vertigo. Yes, then Astralis outplayed Encore, but all this does not look so fun and promising.

Astralis latest results:

• Victory over MIBR with a score of 16:13.
• Defeated by Team Spirit with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to Team Liquid with a score of 0:2.
• Defeat from Vitality with a score of 12:16.
• Victory over Encore with a score of 2:0.

Best Astralis cards:

• Nuke - 80% win rate.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Mirage - 60% of wins.
• Ancient - 58% of wins.

At the same time, the Danish team continues to refuse both Dust 2 and Vertigo.

Match statistics G2 — Astralis

Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:

• G2 victory at IEM Katowice 2022 with a score of 2:1.
• G2's victory at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B with a score of 2:1.

Note that in both encounters Dust 2 and Ancient were dropped.

Forecast for the match G2 — Astralis

Given the way the Danes have been playing in recent months, I'm getting scared for their prospects in this match. Plus, I understand that Astralis will not be able to ban Dust 2 and Mirage at once, from which the team will receive a permanent defeat at the opponent's pick.

In turn, on an individual level, G2 still looks a little more interesting than at the Major. It’s hard to say about the tactical delights of this team, because it doesn’t smell like that. However, in terms of errors and shooting, Astralis is far behind. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the G2 team.
