Match Prediction: 00 Nation - Astralis | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In00NATION and Astralis will meet at IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In. I agree, after 00NATION's victory over FURIA, I overestimated these guys too much. Still, a team that loses Sprout without a chance cannot have any chance even against such Danes from Astralis.
Well, the Danish team is still bad and cannot show a stable game. Although, it should be noted that Astralis was getting closer to victory at the last championships. But until the team comes up with something new, it will continue to rely on the thirty from blameF and lose all the key fights.
Nevertheless, in this case, the Danish team is the unconditional favorite, since looking at the prospects of 00NATION simply does not make any sense.
Form 00NATION
The 31st team of the world ranking just over the weekend visited the ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack, where they left a lot of food for thought.
Firstly, the Brazilian team lost to the Outsiders, even though they showed a relatively good game, given the presence of coldzera in the roster. Secondly, 00NATION did a great job against FURIA, shutting out their stellar compatriots 2-0.
But what happened in the match with Sprout? Honestly, after such a game, I again remembered who we are dealing with. And if the Brazilians once again rely on shooting and roaming the map looking for duels, then 00NATION will be heading home very soon. However, this is the calculation.
Latest 00NATION results:
- Victory over TeamOne with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Brazen with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 11:16.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by Sprout with a score of 0:2.
Best 00NATION cards:
- Vertigo - 86% of wins.
- Overpass - 80% of wins.
- Ancient - 78% of wins.
- Mirage - 67% of wins.
- Inferno - 60% of wins.
At the same time, the team from Brazil continues to refuse the Dust 2 map.
Astralis shape
The twelfth team of the world ranking already at the beginning of last month managed to reach the finals of the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022, in which, to be honest, they lost to Heroic without a chance.
Then the Danish team went to conquer the Roobet Cup 2022, where they performed well at the group stage in terms of results, but still disappointed with their game against Movistar Riders and Complexity, as well as the defeat from Cloud9.
In the playoffs, Astralis was able to cope with forZe, but after that they did nothing with FaZe Clan. Of course, in terms of the final result, the team is much better than before. But in the long term, the Danes will again have to change something.
Astralis latest results:

In turn, the Danish team manages to abandon both Inferno and Vertigo with Mirage.

Prediction for the match 00NATION — Astralis
It is hard to imagine that the Brazilian team will start playing differently. After Valencia, it became clear to me that nothing would change with this line-up, and 00NATION would fail again.
As for the Danes, there are many questions for them, but they should not be mentioned in the context of the upcoming fight. Still, the Brazilians are unlikely to close the blameF, giving him space. From that, the wards of trace will have their hands untied.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Astralis team with Handicap in rounds (-3.5).
