Match Prediction: Astralis - Team Spirit | CS2 (CS:GO)

Astralis and Team Spirit will compete for the right to go to the next stage of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. If the Danes deserve it solely because of their past merits and status, then Team Spirit demonstrates a very beautiful CS, which is not ashamed to show its teeth. And the fact that Astralis can be broken unties the hands of the Russian team.

Astralis shape

The ninth team of the world ranking performs ambiguously in PGL Major Antwerp 2022. On the one hand, the Danes outplayed IHC in the class, giving up only two rounds. However, later the team lost to Vitality without a chance, and also managed to create problems out of the blue in the game against MIBR. It is clear that Astralis does not lack experience. And yet the bell is alarming - what if the team again starts to lose the threads of the game.

Astralis latest results:

• Victory over NIP with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to ENCE with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over IHC with a score of 16:2.
• Defeat from Vitality with a score of 8:16.
• Victory over MIBR with a score of 16:13.

Best Astralis cards:

• Nuke - 80% win rate.
• Ancient - 79% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.

Moreover, the Danish team can ban both Dust 2 and Mirage with Vertigo.

Team Spirit Uniform

The 23rd team in the world ranking had a great start at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, although they played all three BO1s on the Dust 2 map. In any case, the Russian team demonstrates a confident game, imposing their pace even against the favorites. Perhaps, Team Spirit was very unlucky with the draw. However, at a distance, the team has already proved that it actually doesn't care who they enter the server against.

Team Spirit latest results:

• Victory over K23 with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Finest with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Imperial with a score of 16:6.
• Defeat from G2 with a score of 17:19.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 16:11.

Best Team Spirit maps:

• Ancient - 100% win rate.
• Dust 2 - 83% of wins.
• Vertigo - 80% of wins.
• Nuke - 78% of wins.
• Overpass - 57% of wins.

Let me remind you that the Russian team is now getting rid of the Inferno map.

Prediction for the match Astralis — Team Spirit

The Danes have too many shortcomings on the maps to ban Dust 2 and think that the opponent has nothing to offer. Firstly, nothing is clear yet with Vertigo, which was actively played by the "dragons". And in the tournament as a whole, the Russian team makes a strong impression. Against this background, Astralis barely gets four rounds in the attack on Overpass. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for Team Spirit.
