Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-1.5) for Cloud9 – 2.21.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Maps Under 2.5 – 1.63.
Match Winner – Handicap (-1.5) for Cloud9
Cloud9 are in great form and have clearly come to this tournament with the sole aim of winning. Astralis can still hardly be considered a powerful opponent because they perform much more unstable than Cloud9. Especially at the end of last month, Cloud9 literally crushed Astralis on two maps.
Total Maps – Under 2.5
The last four out of five matches involving Cloud9 have been played on two maps.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Cloud9 vs Astralis
Cloud9:
Cloud9 are in fourth place in the world rankings and in good form. The team lost to BIG (0-2) in the semi-finals at the last tournament, but in this one, they managed to take on the Outsiders (2-0). At the same time, Cloud9 experienced no difficulties in that game and confidently defeated their opponents in both Dust2 and Ancient.
We must underline that Cloud9 feel comfortable on all the maps and have at least a 50% of win rate on each of them. The exception is Nuke, which they always ban. The best individual statistic now has sh1ro, whose KDR is 1.26.

Astralis:
Astralis are ranked 12th in the world rankings and are showing quite a good game in this event. The team is on a three-game winning streak. They managed to deal with Complexity (2-0), and BIG (2-1) and proved superior to FURIA with a 2-0 victory. In the last encounter with FURIA, all the players except Farlig finished with positive results.
Most often, Astralis take their peak at Mirage, Ancient or Overpass, where they have at least 50% of the victories. It is worth mentioning that BlameF remains the best in the line-up, as he even finished the last six maps with a positive score for himself.
He's truly been activated today. 🔥@K0nfig is your MVP for today's game!
