In the second match of the third game day of the second week at the WePlay Academy League, Young Ninjas will face off against Astralis Talent. European derby, not promising anything interesting.
Perhaps the situation in this fight is much more prosaic than in the match between mouz NXT and BIG Academy. Young Ninjas look like a clear favorite, and Astralis Talent will have to act as a catch-up.
We are figuring out whether the Danes will be able to catch up and maybe even overtake the Young Ninjas, or everything will end as it should.
Young Ninjas uniform
Let's start the analysis with the nominal favorite of the match and the potential winner thereof. This is Young Ninjas.
The Swedish academic staff has long flickered on the open spaces of competitive CSGO, and therefore it is not surprising that at the WePlay Academy League they were riveted on and hopes were pinned on them.
So far, young Swedes are justifying their status, although not without problems. Still, they are far from the championship in the group, and therefore they need to improve.

Starting their second week with a defeat against the then-weakest group stage team, the Young Ninjas were angry in earnest. Yesterday they beat NaVi Junior and I think they will not stop there.

At the end of the first week, Astralis Talent showed signs of life and showed a good game. They beat VP.P and NaVi Junior, fought mouz NXT and fnatic Rising.
It would seem that Astralis' talents have perked up, but yesterday there was a rout from BIG. To take only 3 rounds per match - this has already happened with the Danes in the match against the same Young Ninjas.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams played in the WePlay Academy League. Then Youn Ninjas defeated Astralis Talent 16-3.
The outcome of the fight
I don't understand how Astralis Talent will play against the Young Ninjas. YN is fundamentally stronger than AT.
On their best map, the Danes have a minus winrate, while the Swedes have played more games and have roughly the same winrate in the ratio.
In general, I will be very surprised if Astralis Talent will be able to beat YN.
Outcome: Young Ninjas win.
