Astralis Talent and Spirit Academy will compete for the right not to be eliminated from WePlay Academy League Season 5, having tried their luck in the lower bracket of the championship. To put it bluntly, it is clear that the Danish team is gradually fizzling out and starting to make mistakes in anticipation of future changes.
In turn, the Spirit Academy as a whole continues to impose its game, but still lacks a banal experience. In any case, the match promises to be interesting, and it is unlikely that the teams will split on two maps.
Astralis Talent Uniform
The 72nd team of the world ranking performed rather poorly at the group stage of WePlay Academy League Season 5, although they managed to break into the Play-In with 21 points in their assets.
Here the Danish team managed to get two victories over FURIA Academy and NAVI Junior, unexpectedly making it to the final part of the championship. And yet, at the start, Astralis Talent could not cope with fnatic Rising, even if it managed to take one card.

The 76th team of the world ranking played well in the group stage of WePlay Academy League Season 5, where they jumped into the TOP-4 at the very last moment and advanced to the Play-In.
Here, the Russian-Ukrainian team sensationally won two victories over OG Academy and Young Ninjas, thanks to which they remained afloat. Still, Spirit Academy lacked the confidence to defeat BIG Academy, causing the team to go to the lower bracket.

Prediction for the match Astralis Talent — Spirit Academy
In this case, I'm more inclined towards the victory of the "dragons", since the Danish team is already starting to exhaust itself and is clearly preparing for the upcoming reshuffles. Although the Spirit Academy can be banally tired, as well as the signs were visible a few matches ago. Therefore, expecting an equal match, here I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
