Astralis vs Team Liquid

Ah, what a nice match we have here! Ex-super-champions will face a nowadays-super-champions in ro8 of The Berlin Major.

It's gonna a big show and a battle of two different playstyles – calm, but reliable and boring play of Astralis and explosive, but smart plays of Liquid.

Bookmakers suppose that it's gonna be a pretty even match, but i don't think so. I see a big advantage of Team Liquid here.

1. Let's talk about maps. Astralis prefer to ignore Mirage, Liquid always evading Train. If we talk about other maps i'd say only preferable map for Astralis is Inferno, on each other map Liquid are leading strongly.

2. Let's talk about the reset of what we saw in the main group stage, then by personal skill and motivation (and focus, surely), advantage will be on the Liquid's side.

3. I'd say that playstyle of Liquid right now is very uncomfortable to play vs.

4. Head to heads: an even situation here: 6 wins forLiquid in 2019, 5 – for Astralis.

If we summarize everything, i'd say that there's a slightly advantage for Liquid in the concrete match.

I think it's gonna be 2-0 in the favor of Liquid, but let's see.
