Match Prediction: Astralis - BIG | CS2 (CS:GO)
Flashpoint Season 3Astralis and BIG will argue for the right to take fifth place in FLASHPOINT 3. It's hard to say which team is stronger, but personally I can't help feeling that the German team is clearly not up to the Danes in terms of shooting.
Astralis shape
The fifth team in the world ranking started well in the championship, having obtained two dry wins. However, immediately after all the problems of the Danish team got out, showing the weaknesses of the players themselves. Not only did Astralis lose to mousesports, it also deprived itself of chances by playing a monstrous game against Heroic. Moreover, it is clear that the team constantly lacks confidence, since the Danes have ceased to show character in important rounds.
Recent Astralis results:
- Defeat from G2 with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over OG with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over DBL PONEY with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
Best Astralis Cards:
- Dust 2 - 75% wins.
- Vertigo - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
It is worth remembering that the team does not play on Mirage. However, I admit that the team will focus on Nuke or Vertigo.
BIG shape
The eighth team in the world ranking held another controversial tournament without showing anything against direct competitors. Yes, the team has a victory over Complexity. But what followed? Two labor victories over Sprout and DBL PONEY? Could it be that the game with mousesports has been turned into a salad? I don't think BIG can claim big wins at all, given the fact that one or two players are turned off in every match.
Recent BIG results:
- Lost to SAW with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat against mousesports with a score of 0: 2.
- Win over Sprout with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over DBL PONEY with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat to NiP with a score of 1: 2.
Best BIG cards:
- Dust 2 - 71% wins.
- Mirage - 64% wins.
- Vertigo - 62% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
The Germans will definitely abandon Inferno. Keep in mind, however, that BIG's hands are constantly shaking with Nuke.

Prediction for the match Astralis - BIG
To be honest, I don't see any obvious chances for BIG. If Astralis can boast of its performance on Nuke, Overpass and Vertigo, then the German team has no advantages as such.
We can say that the only card on which BIG can somehow catch on is Dust 2. However, do not forget that this is the statistically strongest card of the Danes. Plus, Astralis shouldn't have any problems with preparation, since BIG is now very vulnerable and unstable. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Astralis team.
