Match Prediction: Astralis - G2 Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2022Astralis and G2 will compete for the last ticket to the playoffs of IEM Katowice 2022. The Danes reached the finals of the lower bracket with quiet glanders, but I think that the team simply does not have enough variability to outplay an individually strong opponent. Well, G2 should fix their mistakes and go to the playoffs of the championship.
Astralis shape
The seventh team in the world ranking with great difficulty performs at IEM Katowice 2022. Even in the last matches, the Danes did not look stronger than the opponent, at some moments they simply gave everything to fate. The same game against fnatic, for the most part, was the answer to many questions. In particular, Astralis as a team looks very raw, and victories are obtained purely on the aggressive decisions of the star couple from Complexity.
Astralis latest results:
- Victory over MIBR with a score of 16:11.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2:1.
- Defeat from FURIA with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:1.
- 2:1 victory over fnatic.
Best Astralis cards:
- Ancient - 71% of wins.
- Inferno - 57% of wins.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
At the same time, the Danes have been refusing the Vertigo card for a long time.
Form G2
The fourth team in the world ranking failed at the start of IEM Katowice 2022, sensationally losing to fnatic. One way or another, the team corrected its precarious position by outplaying Liquid and FURIA. I won’t say that right now G2 is in perfect condition, but on clean shooting, the team is able to take out such matches. In addition, at some points, Aleksib's decisions really give the team a cool boost in reading the game.
Latest G2 results:
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over MIBR with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by fnatic with a score of 1:2.
- The victory over Liquid with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2:1.
Best G2 Maps:
- Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
- Vertigo - 67% of wins.
- Inferno - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 56% of wins.
At the same time, the team will definitely not risk the Overpass card.

Prediction for the match Astralis — G2
The Danish team has a big gap in maps, as they play very poorly on Dust 2 and Mirage. Also, Astralis didn't really show up on Nuke, while Overpass won't be in this match. At the same time, G2 is traditionally strong on Ancient and Inferno, which could be the starting point for Astralis from the tournament. Therefore, here, based on the above and individual play, I propose to bet on the victory of the G2 team.
