Match Prediction: Astralis - Team Liquid | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 13Astralis and Liquid will meet in the second round of ESL Pro League Season 13. The Danes failed at the start of the championship, losing to a rather controversial opponent. In their turn, the liquid players dealt with fnatic very confidently, showing their intention to advance to the playoffs.
Astralis shape
The second team in the world ranking is not yet shining. In February, the Danes failed at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021, and also took only 5-6 place in IEM Katowice 2021. However, Astralis's problems did not end, since at the start of ESL Pro League Season 13 the team did not show anything complete. Therefore, we can already conclude that the time of the once stellar composition is coming to an end.
The latest results of the team:
- Victory over mousesports with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat to Evil Geniuses with a score of 1: 2.
Best Astralis Cards:
- Vertigo - 75% wins.
- Train - 67% wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% wins.
At the same time, the Danes have not played Mirage for a very long time. Nevertheless, the team has certain problems with the game form.
Liquid form
The fifth team in the world rankings performed well at IEM Katowice 2021, reaching the semifinals. However, in general, the team's performance can hardly be called outstanding. For example, in the recent DreamHack Open March 2021 North America, the Liquid lost in the semi-finals. However, already at the start of ESL Pro League Season 13, the team proved that everything was under control.
The latest results of the team:
- Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over RBG with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Triumph with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against paiN with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over fnatic with a score of 2: 0.
Best Liquid cards:
- Mirage - 80% wins.
- Vertigo - 80% wins.
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Inferno - 62% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
At the same time, the team does not play Train at all, while global work was needed on Dust 2.
Personal meetings statistics
During the last season, the teams held two meetings:
- Astralis win at DreamHack Masters Winter 2020 Europe with a score of 2: 0.
- Astralis wins IEM Global Challenge 2020 2: 1.
However, the situation is completely different now.
Prediction for the match Astralis - Liquid
Against the background of the terrible performance of the Danish team, there is a right to believe that Astralis will not be able to get out of the crisis in one day. In turn, the "liquid" rode through fnatic, showing their intention to quickly break into the leaders of the group. And against the background of all these aspects, I propose to take a risk and bet on the victory of the Liquid team.
