Astralis and 9INE will meet in the quarterfinals of the CCT North Europe Series #3. To be honest, the Danish team is not yet impressive with its stability, but on experience it should close such meetings, as happened the day before.
In turn, the Poles from 9INE perform quite well at their level, but usually they don’t jump above their heads. It is clear that you can make allowances for the level of competition, but it is unlikely that the team will be able to close down such an eminent opponent.
Therefore, here you should do without intrigue and trust the Danish team.
Form Astralis
The fourteenth team in the world ranking recently visited BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, where they were able to qualify for the spring finals after good victories over Ninjas in Pajamas and OG.
As for the start in the playoffs of CCT North Europe Series #3, here the Danish team coped with EYEBALLERS, but somehow managed to lose at its peak.
And yet Astralis is good enough to lose in such matches. Therefore, I am confident in the next victory of the guys from Denmark.

Form 9INE
The 35th team in the world ranking recently made it to the grand final of the OMEN WGR Challenge 2023, and also reached the closed qualifiers for IEM Brazil 2023.
As for the performances at CCT North Europe Series #3, here the Polish team reached the playoffs without any problems, having suffered only one defeat from Illuminar.
Well, the day before, 9INE was able to cope with strong shooters from 9z without losing a single card. Therefore, the team can try to impose a fight on the favorite, but only in segments.

Prediction for the match Astralis — 9INE
Perhaps here you can believe in a map from the Poles, who are good enough on Vertigo and can definitely try their luck on their favorite Overpass map.
However, I find it hard to believe in the overall victory of 9INE, because with all its problems, Astralis is on a different level. Yes, and online, the Danes seem to have found themselves, so you should not count on the swim.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Astralis team.
