Prediction on match CS2 Apeks - Astralis

Apeks and Astralis will compete for the second ticket to the CCT Central Europe Series #4 grand final, where they will meet the winner of the first match of HAVU - Copenhagen Flames.

It's amazing that Apeks has woken up in recent weeks and even won the ESEA championship. However, I still don't have high hopes for these guys who clearly lack the motivation to win on a regular basis.

In turn, Astralis has already reached the semi-finals, surpassing their previous result. And now, when the final is within easy reach, the Danes can open up.

Form Apeks

The 54th team of the world ranking did not play anywhere for several months, continuing to feed their players. However, after the break, the team made it to the playoffs of ESEA Advanced Season 43 Europe in order to win the championship altogether.

Now Apeks has continued to tear in the CCT Central Europe Series #4, where they suffered only one loss to ECLOT. Well, in the playoffs, the team has already managed to upset 9INE and GamerLegion without throwing off a single card. And yet, I would not rush, because the team has not yet passed the test.

Apeks latest results:

• Victory over EYEBALLERS with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over IKLA with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Monte with a score of 3:2.
• Victory over 9INE with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over GamerLegion with a score of 2:0.

Best Apeks Maps:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Dust 2 - 100% win rate.
• Nuke - 75% win rate.
• Mirage - 67% of wins.
• Ancient - 57% of wins.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

At the same time, the European team refuses several maps - Inferno and Vertigo.

Astralis shape

The sixteenth team in the world ranking took third or fourth place in the recent Elisa Masters Espoo 2022, losing to the future winner fnatic.

Then the Danish team went to CCT North Europe Series #2, where they stopped at the quarter-final stage after an unexpected defeat by HEET.

However, at the start of the CCT Central Europe Series #4, the Astralis team managed to close ECSTATIC and 1WIN, showing their ambitions. But now we have to play with the third boss.

Astralis latest results:

• Defeated by fnatic with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Tricked with a score of 2:0.
• Defeat from HEET with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over ECSTATIC with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over 1WIN with a score of 2:1.

Best Astralis cards:

• Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
• Ancient - 50% win rate.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.

Let's not forget that the Danish team has stopped appearing on the Vertigo map.

Prediction for Apeks — Astralis

There is a possibility that the Danish team will not win back the first number throughout the series. However, I definitely don’t believe in another victory for Apeks, since the team proved itself against the backdrop of weaker and more insignificant opponents.

As for the Danes, they train a lot and actively get in shape. And now the team is trying to show itself in order to somehow brighten up the disastrous season. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Astralis team.
