Förutsägelse om match CS2 Astralis - Cloud9

Astralis and Cloud9 will meet in the Brazy Party 2023 Grand Final for the right to win the online tournament and the $133,000 cash prize.

Both teams are looking good in this championship, though Astralis has already sung once and lost to SAW. In turn, the Russian team goes undefeated, but gives their opponents space in every match.

All in all, a very equal clash in which I wouldn't single out a favourite. Therefore, I'd put my money on three games here, especially since we've already had a similar fixture in our only head-to-head game.

Astralis' form

The 24th ranked team in the world fell at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B where they managed to lose to Vitality, Eternal Fire and Ninjas in Pyjamas to not make it to the majors in Paris.

The Danish side had a mixed performance in the group stage of Brazy Party 2023 where they beat GamerLegion and ENCE, but also suffered a strange defeat at the hands of SAW.

However, in the play-offs Astralis has not made a mistake so far, if we shut our eyes to the rather close matches with Apeks and 9INE. However, we can already say that the team is trying to get on the right track.

Astralis' latest results:

• 2-0 victory over GamerLegion.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of SAW.
• 2-0 win over ENCE.
• Beat Apeks 2-1.
• 2-0 win over 9INE.

Astralis top scorers:

• Overpass - 89% wins.
• Ancient - 79% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

It's worth remembering that the Danish team still doesn't appear on the Anubis map.

Cloud9 form

The sixth team of the world ranking also failed in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they tried to fight to the last, but failed to match the seeding and then also failed to cope with FaZe Clan in the last chance qualification.

Immediately after that, the Russian team went to IEM Rio 2023, performing well in the group with three wins. However, in the semi-finals, Cloud9 couldn't take advantage, with Ledge and Vitality coming out on top in the end.

As for the Brazy Party 2023 performance, here the team got two tough wins in the group stage, while in the play-offs they managed to beat paiN Gaming and OG, again, not without problems.

Cloud9's latest results:

• A 1-2 loss to Vitality.
• A 2-1 win over Sprout.
• A 2-1 win over 9INE.
• Beat paiN Gaming 2-0.
• 2-1 win over OG.

Top scorers Cloud9:

• Anubis - 100% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Ancient - 72% wins.
• Vertigo - 68% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

In turn, the Russian team continues to deny Nuke.

Astralis - Cloud9 match statistics

During the current season the teams held one meeting - in the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023 the victory went to Astralis (2-1).

Prediction for the Astralis - Cloud9 match

Last time the teams played Ancient, Mirage and Overpass, which will surely appear today as well. However, it can already be estimated that there is no favourite at the Long Songpeg table as Astralis and Cloud9 are very good on these maps.

Another matter is that the Danish squad looks a little fresher, but on some default Mirage the Cloud9s still seem preferable. All in all, a fairly tight encounter.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total at 2.5.
