Match Prediction: Gambit Esports - Astralis | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Summer 2021Gambit and Astralis will meet in the semifinals of the lower bracket of IEM Summer 2021. Interestingly, the teams are in different positions. And if Gambit won the starting BO1, but lost the full-fledged BO3 next, then the Danes, on the contrary, flooded the opening match, but were able to return at the end of the game day. But it is all the more interesting to watch the match between equal teams that are on the verge of relegation from the championship.
Gambit Form
The first team in the world ranking became the winner of the EPIC League CIS 2021, although it could have completely missed the playoffs. Nevertheless, already in the course of the championship, the team was gaining momentum, simultaneously gathering at their favorite bootcamp. Now the guys have gone somewhere else, starting at IEM Summer 2021. But if everything was quick and painless with Sprout, Vitality was able to catch Gambit on mistakes and send the team to the lower bracket.
Recent Gambit results:
- Victory over Spirit with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Akuma with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 3: 1.
- Victory over Sprout with a score of 16: 6.
- Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.
Best Gambit Cards:
- Vertigo - 92% wins.
- Inferno - 80% wins.
- Mirage - 79% wins.
- Overpass - 54% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
I believe that the collective will again abandon Nuke, at the risk of getting Ancient.
Astralis shape
The fifth team of the world ranking took the sixth place in the framework of FLASHPOINT 3. It is interesting that the team had a good start in the championship, having won two matches with the same score - 2: 0. However, the Danes managed to ruin the rest of the tournament without winning anything at all. In addition, the adventure continued at IEM Summer as Astralis lost to FunPlus Phoenix. And yet, the Danes managed to come back with a laborious but important victory over Extra Salt.
Recent Astralis results:
- Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
- Lost to BIG with a score of 1: 2.
- Lost to FunPlus Phoenix with a score of 7:16.
- Victory over Extra Salt with a score of 2: 0.
Best Astralis Cards:
- Vertigo - 62% wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% wins.
- Nuke - 60% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
I believe that the Danes will give up Mirage. However, I would not say that Astralis is much stronger on Overpass, Dust 2 and Inferno.

Prediction for the match Gambit - Astralis
The main problem of Gambit is the high ping of Hobbit, which again went home. However, the Russian team is still considered the favorite, given the state of affairs in the rating table and the selection of cards. At the same time, I am not sure for the stability of Astralis, since the Danes have become too often to make mistakes and fail on an individual basis. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Gambit team.
