Astralis Will win

Vitality and Astralis meet in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B. A very The International battle, perhaps the most evenly matched on the Long Circuit Championship.

And here I would like to take a chance, because in the last two weeks the Danish team started to play better. And Astralis even managed to outplay Cloud9, which is hardly possible on random.

In turn, there are questions for Vitality, as the team is struggling to shoot well from dupreeh. Moreover, the squad has long had stability problems, which depend heavily on the performance of the leaders.

So here I would look out for an Astralis team win, which in the current situation could surprise and swat the favourite, especially in BO1.

Vitality's form

The seventh world ranked team showed nothing at IEM Katowice 2023, although it started with two wins over Ninjas in Pyjamas and fnatic. However, zonic's wards then lost to Heroic, and then failed to cope with Team Liquid in the quarterfinals.

After some time, the Danish-French squad arrived at ESL Pro League Season 17, where they had an excellent group stage with three solid wins.

In the play-offs, however, Vitality once again ran into problems, which must be attributed to the return of dupreeh. As a result, the team lost to ENCE, showing a monstrous understanding.

Vitality's latest results:

A 1-2 defeat to Team Liquid.
A 2-0 win over Grayhound Gaming.
Victory over OG with a score of 2-0.
Beat FaZe Clan 2-0.
1-2 defeat of ENCE.

Vitality's best scores:

Nuke - 80% wins.
Vertigo - 80% wins.
Inferno - 75% wins.
Mirage - 50% wins.
Overpass - 50% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Danish-French team has not appeared on the Ancient map for a long time.

Astralis form

The fourteenth team of the world ranking failed in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they could not break into the play-offs, and in the game did not look the best way.

However, after that the Danish team confidently went through the first open qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, although they didn't meet any opponents there.

In the indoor qualification, however, Astralis showed their best side with two confident victories over Team Spirit and GODSENT. And in the first match for the slot the team managed to close Cloud9, which is already serious.

Vitality - Astralis meeting statistics

In the current season the teams have played one meeting - on BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 the victory went to Vitality (2-0).

Vitality vs Astralis

The main points are described above, although it's worth repeating - Astralis can surprise now. In addition, everything rests on the instability of Vitality, which with such a composition is unlikely to succeed. And with the cards the teams are roughly equal, so I don't see any sense not to take the risk. So in this case, I'd recommend betting on Astralis to win.
