Прогноз на матч CS2 Heroic - Astralis

Heroic and Astralis will meet in the IEM Fall 2021 Europe group stage. If the former are not yet impressive, experimenting more in the tournament, the latter have already become the leaders of their group, having gained six points out of six possible.

Heroic form

The sixth team in the world ranking continues to wait for the outcome of the scandal with HUNDEN and the coaching bug. However, with IEM Fall 2021 Europe, no one drove the team away, which means that you need to earn points. But if in the first round the Danes closed Movistar Riders, then in the second round Heroic unexpectedly lost to Sinners, showing a weak attack.

Recent Heroic results:

• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Liquid with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat from NAVI with a score of 1: 2.
• Defeat Movistar Riders with a score of 16:10.
• Lost to Sinners with a score of 12:16.

Best Heroic Cards:

• Inferno - 80% wins.
• Ancient - 67% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 62% wins.

I have no doubt that this time the team will choose from the cards presented above.

Astralis shape

The ninth team in the world ranking in this tournament has so far been unbeaten. True, the Danes have not yet met with at least serious opponents, having closed Endpoint and Movistar Riders. However, in the match with the latter, Astralis had problems, primarily related to a large number of lost 1x1 shootouts.

Recent Astralis results:

• Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Liquid with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against Vitality with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over Endpoint with a score of 16: 7.
• Defeat Movistar Riders 16:13.

Best Astralis Cards:

• Dust 2 - 62% wins.
• Nuke - 62% wins.
• Overpass - 60% wins.
• Inferno - 56% wins.

Do not forget that the team will ban Mirage again. In this case, the Vertigo card should become the second ban.

Forecast for the match Heroic - Astralis

Despite the format of the tournament, I don't really believe that Astralis will achieve great success. Yes, until the team lost, while Heroic has already received a cap from Sinners. But in terms of the dynamics of games in recent weeks, it was cadiaN and the company that showed a little more confidence. And Astralis also plays without gla1ve, which, in my personal opinion, is a significant drawback. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Heroic team.
