Прогноз на матч: OG - Astralis | Counter-Strike (CS2)

OG and Astralis will meet in the semi-finals of the CCT South Europe Series 4 online tournament. A year ago, it would have been hard to believe, but that's the reality today.

To be honest, OG's play does not inspire confidence in such a match, as the team barely beat the decommissioned Swedes. As for Astralis, the team is moving quite well, and so far they haven't made any mistakes.

All in all, the Danes so far seem to be a little bit more spirited than OG, who still have trouble shooting outside of two players. So here I would lean on the Astralis team to win.

OG's form

The seventeenth team of the world ranking had time to visit the Brazy Party 2023, where they even managed to make it to the play-offs, but already in the quarterfinals Ledgeila Cloud9.

The European side also took part in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they managed to beat MOUZ but also lost to ENCE, Ninjas in Pyjamas and GamerLegion to drop out.

As for the play-offs performance of CCT South Europe Series 4, here OG managed to mark victories over AGO and EYEBALLERS, although with the same Swedes the team could have easily lost.

The latest results for OG:

• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 16-11.
• Defeat by Ninjas in Pyjamas 17:19.
• 1-2 loss to GamerLegion.
• Victory to AGO with a score of 2-0.
• 2-1 win over EYEBALLERS.

Top scorers for OG:

• Mirage - 71% wins.
• Ancient - 62% wins.

Let's not forget that the European squad keeps dropping Nuke maps.

Astralis form

The 25th ranked team in the world didn't show anything at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, but after that they took the second place in the Brazy Party 2023 with a defeat by Cloud9.

Recently, the Danish outfit also tried their hand at qualifying for Gamers8 2023 but suffered a semi-final defeat at the hands of former HEET.

Speaking of Long Corner in the CCT South Europe Series 4 play-offs, Astralis have already made a run at Iron Branch and Aurora, showing quite a good game.

Recent Astralis results:

• A 16-8 win over B8 Esports.
• 16-10 win over Movistar Riders.
• A 12-16 loss to Looking4Org.
• 2-0 win over Iron Branch.
• 2-0 win over Aurora.

Astralis top scorers:

• Overpass - 90% wins.
• Ancient - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 50% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

In turn, the Danish team has consistently given up maps to Anubis.

OG - Astralis meeting statistics

In the current season the teams have played one meeting - on BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 the victory went to Astralis (2-1).

Forecast for the match OG - Astralis

It seems to me that in their current form, Astralis can put a good strain on OG, who have longstanding problems. At the same time, the Danish team looks much better in the play-offs and hasn't faltered yet. In general, everything depends on the Europeans' shooting, which, frankly, isn't expected yet. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a win for the Astralis team.
