Прогноз на матч CS2 BIG - Astralis

BIG and Astralis will compete for the first place in the playoffs of the IEM Global Challenge 2020. The teams started their journey with victories, having secured at least one mistake. However, BIG created a mini-sensation by leaving Vitality out of business.

BIG shape

The fifth team in the world rankings came third in the recent BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals, losing to Vitality (1: 2) and Astralis (0: 2). However, the German team managed to brainstorm in a few days, beating Vitality (2: 1) in the first match at the IEM Global Challenge 2020.

Best BIG cards:

• Mirage - 80% wins.
• Nuke - 56% wins.
• Vertigo - 55% wins.

At the same time, the team does not consistently play on Train, which will not greatly upset the Danes.

Astralis shape

The second team from the world ranking came to the championship with the BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals silver. We remember that at that time the Danes lost to Vitality in the grand final with a score of 1: 2, getting another reason to rethink their game model. But the start of the IEM Global Challenge 2020 showed that there are no special changes in the Astralis game. Nevertheless, the team casually beat Complexity with a score of 2: 0, getting a good opportunity for an early playoff.

Best Astralis cards:

• Inferno - 76% wins.
• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Vertigo - 73% wins.
• Train - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Dust 2 - 56% wins.

However, we remember that the team does not play on Mirage. That can seriously affect the ambitions of the opponent.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams had only one meeting - at the recent BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals, the victory went to Astralis (2: 0).

Forecast for the match BIG - Astralis

I am convinced that this time BIG will catch on to the victory. The team must take at least one card, and so the victory will be in one step. The Danes didn't impress me with their play with Complexity. Still, Astralis realized that the opponent was in a shaky state, so you shouldn't give your best. But this can play a cruel joke, because Vitality has already burned, relaxing in the game with the German team. Therefore, I suggest taking a risk and betting on the victory of the BIG team with the odds of 3.88.
