Förutsägelse om match CS2 NaVi - Astralis

The teams faced for the last time at ESL One Cologne 2018 about two months ago and then, the CIS team was stronger, who managed to beat the opponent with a score 2:1.

Natus Vincere had been in a perfect shape before DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018, where they placed 5th-8th. Let’s remind that Zeus and the company have won three championships in a row - Natus Vincere appeared to be strongest at StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 5, CS:GO Asia Championships 2018, and ESL One: Cologne 2018 and also placed 3rd-4th at ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018. It’s worth to notice that the team had been in a long vacation before DreamHack Stockholm and hadn’t met for a bootcamp before it and moved to prepare for the Major tournament after its end and would come to this competition fully-prepared.

In its turn, Astralis also has a good gaming shape and has prevailed at ESL Pro League Season 7 - Finals, Esports Championship Series Season 5 - Finals, and ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 and also held the 3rd-4th place at ESL One: Cologne 2018 due to which placed first in the world rate by HLTV. It’s worth to notice that at FACEIT Major: London 2018 - New Challengers Stage, the team lost to NiP in additional rounds and also played 13:16 against Rogue, which reflects some inside problems.

Bookmakers consider Astralis to be a favorite of the match and offer odds for their victory in the sum of 1.5, while Natus Vincere’s triumph is evaluated as 2.5. We prefer Natus Vincere as we think that the difference in the gaming level is not so big between the teams, especially, because S1mple and the company were preparing for the championship more.
