Prediction for the CDEC Gaming vs Team Aster match:

Aster did not play a single official match on the new patch, and CDEC Gaming managed to lose Royal Never Give Up 1: 2 by cards. It was unpleasant for both teams to play against IO and Mars, Wisp was completely weakened in the new patch, and Mars is still strong. Bookmakers give Team Aster odds of 1.28, it is very inadequate that CDEC with three wins and only one loss has 3.54. Especially on the new patch.

Prediction: CDEC will win Team Aster in the hardest match (odds 3.54)
