Match Prediction: Astralis - Heroic | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 EuropeAstralis and Heroic will play as part of the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe grand final, vying for the right to advance to the autumn season finals. An interesting meeting awaits us, since Astralis, being outsiders, managed to prove already in the semi-finals that not everything is so simple.
Yes, Heroic looks extremely confident now, and the very fact of the derby will spur cadiaN on. However, I would not say that in this case, Xizt's wards will have an obvious advantage - certainly not in terms of odds.
In general, I expect an unprecedented struggle from the match, where Astralis will definitely try to impose their game. It was not for nothing that the team took Vitality forward with their feet, which obviously no one expected.
Astralis shape
The sixteenth team in the world played terribly in the ESL Pro League Season 16, where they did not even make it to the playoffs. Then the Danish team went to IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, where they failed again, having obtained only one victory.
As for the start at BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, here Astralis got a tough victory over Eternal Fire, and then outplayed Vitality in some unthinkable way, showing an extremely confident game on Dust 2 and Inferno.
In general, with such an attitude, the team can try their luck in the grand final, especially since no one denies the principled nature of the meeting in terms of psychology and personal conflicts.
Astralis latest results:
- Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 16:9.
- Lost to the Bad News Eagles 3:16.
- Defeat from forZe with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:1.
Best Astralis cards:

- Mirage - 71% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
It is worth noting that the Danish team has stopped appearing on the Vertigo map.
Form Heroic
The ninth team in the world ranking failed at the same ESL Pro League Season 16, but at least managed to play in the playoffs - that is, lost to NAVI in the first round.
Then the Danish team also went to IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B, where they already managed to prove themselves. As a result, Heroic managed to finish the championship with one defeat, and after that, designate itself in the "legends" of the major.
As for the start of BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, here the team outplayed ECSTATIC and Sangal quite confidently. Another point is that Heroic has not yet played with an equal opponent, which, in theory, may negatively affect the general condition.
Heroic's latest results:
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over OG with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over ECSTATIC with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Sangal with a score of 2:0.
Best Heroic Maps:
- Nuke - 83% of wins.
- Inferno - 82% of wins.
- Mirage - 57% of wins.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
In turn, the Danish collective Heroic is still refusing the Dust 2 map.

Prediction for the match Astralis — Heroic
It's more logical to look for a winner in Heroic, but for some reason it seems to me that in such an important match Astralis will get together and show an incredible game again. At least after the semi-finals, the wards of casle deserve to be reckoned with.
In any case, it makes sense to pick a card from Astralis, although I still think that Heroic will take its toll and we will see a deader. In general, we are waiting for a cool grand final - that's why we have a derby.
Well, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
