Matchförutsägelse: Astralis - HEET | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Astralis and HEET will meet in the fourth open qualifier at IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe. Both teams have already secured their participation in RMR, but they spent too much nerves and effort on it.

However, the Danish team is still performing at BLAST, which, in theory, should take over the main attention. In turn, nothing prevents HEET from preparing for the match, and the opponent in BO1 can give up slack, given the fatigue factor.

Astralis shape

The world ranked fourth team did qualify for the IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe. They survived, the Danish team is kneading clay with the Poles and other TIER-3 opponents, losing to those in BO1.

Well, at least this time Astralis pulled themselves together and qualified undefeated, but only for now. Next, the team will have to meet with FaZe Clan as part of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, and after that I will fight for seeding on RMR.

I think the Danish team will not calculate their strength, and in BO1 experience alone may simply not be enough. In general, I think that Astralis will give up on preparing for the match in HEET, all the more tired after BO3 in BLAST.

Form HEET

The 25th team in the world ranking could not get through the open qualifiers for a very long time, but this time they were very lucky with the bracket and HEET managed to get to IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe.

I won’t say that the French team looks cool, but this time they managed to get their victories. If there were no difficulties with the opponent's schedule, I would still think.

However, in this case, it makes sense to consider a coefficient of 3+, since HEET can cause problems for the favorite, especially in BO1, he does not always succeed.

Match statistics Astralis — HEET

As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B, the victory went to Astralis (2:1).

Prediction for the match Astralis — HEET

I remember that game at RMR, when the Danes miraculously escaped defeat and went to the Major. In general, the French can cause problems for Astralis, especially since the favorite should spend its attention on BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022.

Of course, HEET now looks too clumsy, but in terms of experience, this team definitely does not hold. Plus, we are talking about BO1, where, if you win knives on the Nuke conditional map, you get a chance to close any series.

Therefore, here I would recommend taking a chance and betting on the victory of the HEET team.
