Прогноз на матч CS2 Astralis - Extra Salt

Astralis and Extra Salt will meet in the lower bracket of IEM Summer 2021. I believe that the Danish team needs to urgently change something. However, the situation is made easier by the fact that the North American team is doing even worse, given the initial defeat from G2.

Astralis shape

The fifth team of the world ranking took the sixth place in FLASHPOINT 3. It is interesting that the team started confidently in the championship, having won two matches with a score of 2: 0. However, the Danes managed to ruin the rest of the tournament, taking only one map in three matches. In addition, at the start of IEM Summer 2021, the team could not cope with FunPlus Phoenix, leaving Ancient for some reason.

Recent Astralis results:

• Victory over DBL PONEY with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
• Lost to BIG with a score of 1: 2.
• Lost to FunPlus Phoenix with a score of 7:16.

Best Astralis Cards:

• Dust 2 - 60% wins.
• Vertigo - 57% wins.
• Nuke - 56% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

I believe that the Danes will give up Mirage. However, I would not say that Astralis is much stronger on Overpass, Dust 2 and Inferno.

Extra Salt Form

The 18th team in the world rankings failed in cs_summit 8, finishing only in fifth place. It is interesting that the team won the group stage, but then began to get blown away in the playoffs. Now the guys flew to Europe, from where they already started at IEM Summer 2021, having won only one round in the match with G2.

Recent Extra Salt results:

• Defeat from FURIA with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Secret Club with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat from EXTREMUM with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over paiN with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 1:16.

Best Extra Salt Cards:

• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 74% wins.
• Vertigo - 69% wins.
• Dust 2 - 64% wins.
• Inferno - 63% wins.

I believe that the North American band will abandon Ancient. However, it is worth adding that Extra Salt is worth taking a close look at Nuke.

Meeting statistics Astralis - Extra Salt

During the current season, the teams held one meeting - Astralis won at DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 (16: 8).

Prediction for the match Astralis - Extra Salt

The only prospect for Extra Salt is the Overpass card. If the North American team is not stupid and picks the opponent's weakest card, it will be able to fight for victory. At the same time, we see that both teams are experiencing problems, showing not the most confident Counter Strike. However, given the possible presence of Overpass, I suggest taking a chance and betting on Forum (+1.5) for Extra Salt.
