Prediction on match CS2 Astralis - Vitality

The time has come to determine the name of the first finalist of DreamHack Open Fall 2020. Astralis and Vitality have already climbed high in the upper bracket, which means that someone will have to fall into the “losers” bracket in order to earn a place in the grand final there.

Astralis shape

The Danes are back! The first team on the planet has not lost 9 matches. Along the way, Astralis won the difficult final of ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe, defeating NAVI with a score of 0: 2. So, within the framework of DreamHack Open Fall 2020, the team alternately won over Heroic (2: 1), G2 (2: 1), GODSENT (2: 0) and fnatic (2: 1). With these results, the Danish team has earned a place in the final of the upper bracket. And hardly anyone will be able to stop Astralis on the way to the next trophy.

The best cards of the Danish team:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Nuke - 93% wins.
• Inferno - 67% wins.
• Train - 62% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.

We should definitely miss Train in this match, while Overpass or Nuke maps must be vetoed.

Vitality Form

The French, ranked 4th in the world rankings, show solid performance in this tournament. Having become the first in their group after victories over mousesports (2: 0) and fnatic (2: 1), the team confidently stepped into the playoffs. Already in the quarterfinals of the event, Vitality left NiP out of work (2: 0), and in the semifinals beat BIG (2: 0). But will the French be able to cope with the power of the Danish giant?

Vitality card pool:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Dust 2 - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 62% wins.

It will definitely not come down to Mirage. But the French are obliged to use the advantage in the form of Dust 2. However, the team still has to solve problems with defense on this map, because the team did not look very confident in the last matches in defense.

Personal meetings statistics

The teams have met six times this season. However, Vitality managed to get only one victory, and even that one during the restructuring of Astralis.

Prediction for the match Astralis - Vitality

With all that has been said above, in my eyes the Danes seem to be the unconditional favorites of the meeting. And in this regard, I propose to bet the victory of the Astralis team with a coefficient of 1.40 There is very little chance that the Danish car will fail in such a principled match.
