Astralis vs Team Liquid

2018-02-17 12:21:45Posted by vvvv

A lovely match for today.

Astralis ranked #7 from Denmark is playing against Liquid ranked #9 from North America in the StarSeries i-League Season 4 with 16 teams fighting for a prize pool of $300,000 in Kiev, Ukraine.

Both Astralis and Liquid have zero matches played so far.

Both teams have suffered jet lag from traveling to this tournament, and both sides have changes in their team rosters.

Astralis brought Magisk, who hasn't proved a good trade, at least looking at the previous match versus Heroic, where they lost 0-2.

Liquid, on the other hand, have NAF, he already played 26 maps and had the best rating entering this matchup with 1,26 and insane ADR of 89,4. 1-0 for Liquid.

Astralis has won five matches from the last ten played and had a win ratio of 50% and average opponent rank of #44,3.

Liquid has won NINE of last ten games and had a win ratio of 90% and average opponent rank of #32,6.

Liquid is on fire and apparently better team than Astralis at this moment. 2-0 for Liquid.

Pistol performance goes to Liquid who has 46,5% over Astralis who has 33,3%. 3-0 for Liquid.

Both teams have similar map pools, Astralis is good at Mirage, Inferno, and Overpass, while Liquid favors Cache, Cobble, and Train.

If we look at the LAN games from Astralis, they seem slightly shaky. They lost Bo3 against mousesports and SK, all of those matches were from December last year. Liquid has played A LOT of lan matches in 2k18, over 20, and they had some nice wins against Heroic, SK, Cloud9 and again Cloud9. 4-0 for Liquid.

Astralis has an excellent opponent hear matrix against Liquid, but those are mostly stats from 2k17. If Liquid manages to stop xyp9x and dupreeh for performing good, they can claim an easy win. And if Liquid's ElIGE and nitr0 play rather well it will be an easy win for them.

4 points for Liquid versus 0 for Astralis when looking at some stats. So my final bet here is that Liquid can win this game. Maybe it goes in over 2.5 maps, but the odds for a clear Liquid win are good enough for me.

Good luck to all!
