Prediction on match CS2 Apeks - Astralis

Apeks and Astralis will play in the final quarterfinals of Brazy Party 2023. Very surprised by the performance of the Europeans, who, to judge a bit subjectively, do not fit the definition of a strong team.

However, here we see the Danish team, which, if we put aside the loss to SAW, in the renewed lineup began to play noticeably better and brighter, noticeably increasing in the shooting.

In general, I see no point in looking towards Apeks, because sooner or later the squad will run out of steam and the team will run out of steam. So here I would settle for a logical win for the Astralis team.

Apeks form

The 33rd ranked team in the world managed to prove itself in the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, getting a ticket to the majors after victories over GamerLegion, Sprout and B8 Esports (funny, isn't it).

Since then, the European squad has been at the ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe and Elisa Invitational Spring 2023 with three victories over inferior teams.

As for their Brazy Party 2023 group stage showing, Apeks notched two wins over Eternal Fire and OG, but still left themselves with plenty of questions, especially regarding their play.

Apeks' latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Partizan.
• 2-0 win over K23.
• Beat ENCE Academy 2-0.
• Beat Eternal Fire 2-1.
• Beat OG 2-0.

Apeks top scorers:

• Anubis - 88% wins.
• Ancient - 65% wins.
• Inferno - 60% wins.
• Mirage - 54% wins.
• Overpass - 53% wins.

It's worth remembering that the European squad is giving up Nuke.

Astralis form

The seventeenth world team failed in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, as they could not cope with themselves and were limited to just one victory over Team Spirit.

Moreover, the Danish team had some problems at the Long Conpeg of the Brazy Party 2023 group stage as they managed to lose to SAW after defeating GamerLegion.

Fortunately the day before, Astralis was able to get back to square one, showing a strong game and shutting down ENCE. And if the team continues in the same vein, there will be no shame in showing up in the finals.

Astralis' latest results:

• A 2-1 win over Team Spirit.
• Defeat to Ninjas in Pyjamas 0-2.
• Beat GamerLegion 2-0.
• 1-2 defeat of SAW.
• Beat ENCE 2-0.

Astralis top scorers:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Ancient - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 56% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

In turn, the Danish team still doesn't appear on the Anubis map.

Meeting statistics Apeks - Astralis

Last season the teams played one meeting - on CCT Central Europe Series 4 the victory went to Astralis (2-0).

Outlook for the match Apeks - Astralis

What can we say here? Based on their recent matches and logic in general, Apeks doesn't stand a chance. The Europeans have nothing to fall back on.

We can't even talk about the Danes, because in this form, the guys play very well and nicely. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on the victory of the Astralis team.
