Match Prediction: Astralis - OpTic Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)

The champions of the Major by SLTV will play with OpTic Gaming in a bo3 format in the opening match.

Despite the difference in the level of the teams is pretty big - both rosters are from Denmark and will make a lot of troubles to each other due to a similar style of play. It’s also not worth to forget that OpTic Gaming will probably prepare hard for this match because it will be principled.

Astralis is the reigning champion of the Major, however, it is not in its optimal shape, which is confirmed by the representatives of the roster. It’s worth to notice that the team hasn’t played a match since the victory at StarLadder Berlin Major 2019.

In its turn, OpTic Gaming instead has been playing at GG.BET Beijing Invitational and European Champions Cup the whole September, however, their performance can’t be called successful because the guys have won only two matches out of six.

Bookmakers consider Astralis to be the obvious favorite and we also believe in the victory of Dev1ce and the company, however, will risk and bet on the market “the maps handicap +1.5 for OpTic Gaming” with odds 2.8.
