Прогноз на матч CS2 Astralis - Heroic

Astralis and Heroic will compete for the right to advance to the final of the FLASHPOINT 3 lower bracket. Well, are we getting ready for an interesting match in which the two best teams of Denmark will play? However, I believe the Heroic is in slightly better shape in this situation.

Astralis shape

The fifth team in the world ranking started quite well in the championship, having obtained two dry wins. However, the problems that the band had at FLASHPOINT 3, as expected, were bare. As a result, Astralis was declassified by mousesports, showing nothing but a fight. Yes, the Danes fought and took their rounds on moral and strong-willed. However, the fact remains that the team is going through hard times both individually and structurally.

Recent Astralis results:

• Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over OG with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over DBL PONEY with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.

Best Astralis Cards:

• Dust 2 - 75% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 57% wins.

It is unlikely that the Danes will play on Mirage, which has been permanently banned for over a year. However, in other aspects Astralis does not have an advantage.

Heroic form

The third team in the world ranked unexpectedly quickly fell into the lower bracket, losing to G2. But that match was a separate story, where the team was frankly weird. However, already in the lower bracket, Heroic got two dry wins, closing out Complexity and Vitality. And I believe that the team will no longer experiment and will focus on returning to the grand final of the championship.

Recent Heroic results:

• Defeat from NAVI with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Sprout with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 0.

Best Heroic Cards:

• Nuke - 91% wins.
• Vertigo - 86% wins.
• Mirage - 80% wins.
• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 70% wins.
• Train - 57% wins.

Note that in this series we will definitely miss Dust 2 - the best Astralis map. However, the numbers of the Danish team look more interesting.

Meeting statistics Astralis - Heroic

During the current season, the teams held one meeting - at DreamHack Masters Spring 2021, the victory went to Heroic (2: 0).

Prediction for the match Astralis - Heroic

In the current environment, Heroic is simply stronger. It's not just about the cards or the situation in a particular tournament, but about the structure and content of the game. Astralis is now far from its optimal shape, often dancing and making mistakes. In this regard, compatriots are much less weird, relying primarily on ingenious decisions and discipline. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Heroic team.
