Match Prediction: Astralis Talent - fnatic Rising | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Astralis Talent and fnatic Rising will meet in the final round of WePlay Academy League Season 1. There is no doubt that both teams will proceed to Play-In, where they will compete for the last slot in the LAN championship. However, in a general sense, it is clear that the Danes are noticeably inferior to their opponent in terms of talent and preparation.

Astralis Talent Form

The 145th team in the world ranking has not yet lived up to the hopes and other hidden expectations of local fans. The thing is that, against the background of other teams, the Danes show a rather boring Counter Strike, with which one cannot count on success. As for the last matches, Astralis Talent not only managed to beat NAVI Junior, but also lost to VP.Prodigy. And personally, I think these two results perfectly describe the whole team.

Recent Astralis Talent results:

• Lost to BIG Academy with a score of 3:16.
• Lost to Young Ninjas with a score of 3:16.
• Victory over NAVI Junior with a score of 16:14.
• Defeat to VP.Prodigy with a score of 13:16.
• Lost to mouz NXT with a score of 13:16.

Best Astralis Talent Cards:

• Vertigo - 50% wins.

We add that the Danes perform extremely poorly on Nuke and Inferno, while Vertigo is the only bright spot in this story.

Fnatic Rising Form

The 89th world-ranked team got off to a good start at WePlay Academy League Season 1. However, towards the middle of the tournament, the team began to mope, losing the lion's share of matches. But to expect something special from fnatic Rising was clearly not worth it, as the team gathered right before the championship itself. Therefore, the level that we have now can still be called satisfactory, especially against the background of the guys from Denmark.

Recent fnatic Rising results:

• Defeat to VP.Prodigy with a score of 20:22.
• Victory over FURIA Academy with a score of 16:13.
• Defeat from BIG Academy with a score of 9:16.
• Lost to Young Ninjas with a score of 19:15.
• Victory over NAVI Junior with a score of 19:16.

Best fnatic Rising cards:

• Inferno - 67% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

However, it should be noted that the team has not yet played on three maps at once - Ancient, Nuke and Mirage. And the statistics on other maps are not very encouraging.

Forecast for the match Astralis Talent - fnatic Rising

Could there be a sensation? Undoubtedly. But I don't want to watch out of logic at all, and the Danes are not showing the most successful game at the championship itself. In addition, fnatic Rising has a little more confidence in card selection, which will clearly give a psychological advantage in the preparation process. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the fnatic Rising team.
