The guys from Astralis had a bad shape, compared to themselves, at the beginning of the championship, however, the guys started demonstrating a great gaming during the competition. Initially, dev1ce and the company passed New Challengers Stage with a statistic 3:1, having lost to NiP, after which finished the participation in New Legends Stage with a loss against Team Liquid. In the playoff stage, the team was stronger than FaZe Clan and Team Liquid, having beaten both above-mentioned rosters with a score 2:0.
In its turn, Natus Vincere initially was one of the favorites of the competition and the roster lost only to Astralis with a score 16:14 at FACEIT Major: London 2018 - New Legends Stage, NiP and Fnatic were not able to compete with the Ukrainian-Russian team. At New Champions Stage, Zeus and the company beat BIG without a chance and prevailed over the Brazilians from MiBR not less confidently.
Bookmakers consider Astralis to be a favorite of the match and offer odds for their victory in the sum of 1.55, while Natus Vincere’s victory is evaluated as 2.25. We don’t fully agree with the odds in this match and think that the teams are almost equal and the winner will be determined by such small things as a mood of each of the players, a bit of luck and the chosen maps.
We prefer S1mple and the company as they have gained an incredible shape at the championship and look stronger than at any moment in their history.
