Prediction on match CS2 Astralis - G2 Esports

Astralis and G2 will compete for a place in the final of the BLAST Premier Global Final 2020. Both teams started the season with victories, however, the start was not as easy as we would like.

Astralis shape

The world leader ended the season with a victory in the IEM Global Challenge 2020. But since then, the Danes have not only gone home, but seem to have lost confidence in their actions. This was hinted at by the first map with Evil Geniuses, where the Danes were simply broken in some places. Nevertheless, against the background of such a weak opponent, the team coped and got out of the water, remaining in the upper bracket of the championship.

Best Astralis cards:

• Inferno - 79% wins.
• Train - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 71% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Dust 2 - 62% wins.

I guess the Danes were also tightly cooking Nuke, which has had problems lately. Nevertheless, the team's card pool looks pretty cool, which should be enough to defeat the Balkan-French.

Form G2

The ninth team in the world ranking experienced big problems at the end of last season. However, the team decided to gather at the bootcamp and won the starting meeting with FURIA within the current tournament. But it cannot be said that the team was much stronger than the Brazilians, who often punished G2 for mistakes. And I believe that the mistakes of the Balkan-French will be repeated again, which will predetermine the outcome of the upcoming meeting.

Best G2 cards:

• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Dust 2 - 58% wins.

I'm sure you won't be surprised by the fact that there will be no Mirage card in this match. Therefore, I believe that G2 will choose exactly Dust 2, where the Danes can make mistakes.

Personal meetings statistics

At the end of last season, the teams held five head-to-head meetings. Moreover, only one match ended with the victory of G2 (2: 1). Therefore, the Danes are the obvious favorite of the upcoming meeting.

Prediction for the match Astralis - G2

I don’t think that the Balkan-French are mentally ready to give problems to their opponent. Even if the Danes are not overclocked yet, G2 did not show anything outstanding in the first game either. In addition, the Danes ran over Evil Geniuses on the second and third maps, while G2 struggled with FURIA on all three maps. And taking into account the statistics of meetings, everything falls into place. Therefore, I propose to bet on the victory of the Astralis team with the odds of 1.48.
