Prédiction sur le match CS2 Astralis - Copenhagen Flames

Astralis and Copenhagen Flames will meet at PGL Major Stockholm 2021. It's a very difficult confrontation, since both teams represent the same country, while showing strong play on maps such as Nuke and Vertigo. But this is where I want to voice an unpopular opinion, betting on Copenhagen Flames to win.

Astralis shape

The ninth team in the world ranking became the fourth in the framework of IEM Fall 2021 Europe. And if at the group stage the team looked incomparable, having won all five victories, then in the playoffs the Danes started having problems. Moreover, it seemed to me that Astralis is rather afraid of rivals itself, and not vice versa, as it was a couple of years ago. Yes, and dry defeats from ENCE and Vitality clearly incite confidence in the composition, which has nothing to prove.

Recent Astralis results:

• Victory over Complexity with a score of 16:14.
• Victory over Sinners with a score of 16: 8.
• Victory over Fiend with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat to ENCE with a score of 0: 2.
• Defeat against Vitality with a score of 0: 2.

Best Astralis Cards:

• Inferno - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% wins.

The Danes still don't play on Mirage. But at the same time, the team has difficulties on Ancient.

Copenhagen Flames uniform

The 14th team in the world rankings made a splash at IEM Fall 2021 Europe, rolling out all the rivals in the group. In the playoffs, the team had problems, but the guys still took seventh place and went to PGL Major 2021. Another thing is that Copenhagen Flames managed to hold a couple more interesting meetings, simultaneously closing Gambit and fnatic. And do not forget that the team has several strong maps on which it is not a shame to compete with Astralis.

Recent Copenhagen Flames results:

• Victory over fnatic with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Gambit with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to Fiend with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Endpoint with a score of 2: 1.
• Victory over Enterprise with a score of 2: 0.

Top Copenhagen Flames Cards:

• Ancient - 82% wins.
• Overpass - 77% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Vertigo - 71% wins.
• Nuke - 69% win.

It is interesting that in recent weeks the Danes have tried themselves on Dust 2, albeit not very successfully. Another thing is that Copenhagen Flames has a lame card Inferno for a long time.

Prediction for the match Astralis - Copenhagen Flames

I really want to see the Copenhagen Flames under pressure. However, the result at IEM Fall 2021 Europe gives me the right to think that the team can impose a serious struggle. And Nuke, Vertigo or Overpass cards are considered the strengths of HooXi and the company. In turn, Astralis is not so smooth, as the guys were often crushed during the shooting. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the Copenhagen Flames team to win.
