Astralis Form
We start the analysis of Astralis vs Nexus Gaming match with the analysis of Astralis' form. In this match they will play in the status of the favourite of the meeting, with odds to win at around 1.1.
Next, the Danish club had a difficult period. They tried their best to "return" to the TIR-1 scene, but they constantly fell short: Astralis finished top-20 at ESL Pro League Season 17 and top-14 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR B.
At lesser tournaments, however, Astralis fared well. The world's most titled team finished Top 2 at Brazy Party, won CCT South Europe Series #4 and finished Top 4 at Pinnacle Cup V.
Returning to the S-Tier Championships, Astralis took Top 6 at IEM Masters Dallas 2023 and Top 8 at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups.
Prior to the BB Dacha, Astralis attended a number of other events. Those were ESL Pro League Season 18 and Roobet Cup 2023, where the once stellar Danes finished in the Top 16.
Just before the Long Convergence, BB Dacha Astralis finished in the Top 4 at CS Asia Championship 2023 and Top 8 at BLAST Premier: Fall Finals. The swing in performance is primarily due to roster manipulation.
- Astralis roster: blameF, dev1ce, Staehr, stavn, jabbi.
The latest additions to Astralis are stavn and jabbi. A couple came in with Heroic, who they bid farewell to on not-so-pleasant notes. That said, it's a reinforcement however you look at it.
The debut tournament for the roster was Dacha, where the Danes finished in the top 8. Then the new season began, which Astralis opened with a performance at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier B. There they took TOP-3, which was enough to pass to RMR.
Before IEM Katowice 2024 they played at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024. According to the results of the championship Danes broke through to the TOP-6 and it was enough to get to the BLAST Premier: Spring Final. The IEM Katowice 2024 Astralis failed in the dust and dust: took the top 32, not passing the Play-In stage.

Nexus Gaming form

Nexus Gaming is quite an old club, but it can't boast of any special results. In fact, their stupation began somewhere in 2023, and their performance at the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 European RMR B. Also - they are those "ploughmen", but not always much equals good.
In 2023, Nexus Gaming made a lot of appearances at a lot of tournaments of different calibres. Mostly they played at small, local championships and all sorts of qualifiers, but there were entries on a larger stage.
For example, the team was TOP-5 at Thunderpick Bitcoin Series #2, TOP-19 at CCT West EUrope Series #1, TOP-2 at A1 Gaming League 2023, TOP-16 at CCT North Europe Series #4 and CCT West Europe Seris #2. And all of this - in the first half of 2023.
From there on out, there was only more. Winning STR8 Game, TOP-2 at EPL Season 11: Division 2, TOP-24 at CCT East Europe Series #3, TOP-12 at EPL Season 11, 5-6th places at United21 Season 7. In general, they played really a lot, but with low efficiency.
- Nexus Gaming roster: BTN, ragga, RELLOW, s0und, ERSIN.
In 2024, the club, again, was active. To a large extent, this was evident in the number of qualifiers, where Nexus played mixed with C-rank tournaments. The team finished in 16th place at United21 Season 10, Top 11 at European Pro League Season 14: Division 2 and Top 12 at IceBonus Series #1.
At PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 European RMR B made it to PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier Decider on their 5th attempt, defeating sYnck.
Nexus Gaming Mapple

Then comes Vertigo with 3 wins and 1 loss. In the pool there are Ancient and Mirage, where on the first one Nexus Gaming has 5 wins and 5 losses, and on the second one - 3 wins and 3 losses.
