Avangar vs Astralis

It is gonna be a very tough match! Who could imagine that AVANGAR will rise from nowhere, having a bad shape right before the Major and will reach a grand-final of the StarLadder Berlin Major? Who could dare to think that Astralis will come back stronger and clearly crush NRG and (what's more important) their rivals from Liquid.

But here, in my opinion, AVANGAR got decent chances to make a fight and I believe that they will win at lest 1 map.

1. First and very important point that Jame is in incredible shape,. taking MVP on every single map on the tournament. Ali finally found a proper way to use his playstyle in the best way. And it works!

2. Whole AVANGAR is in good shape and they got rising morale, they are 1000% focused right now. Astralis also looking good but it's just what they used to do.

3. We can't proper analyse the recent matches of both teams because either Avangar, either Astralis are unstable. Both of them can shine, both of them can fail unpredictably.

4. Map pool. Let's take a look who is better and where. Astralis will ban Mirage, Avangar will ban Nuke. Looks like Avangar got 2 proper options for their own pick: Vertigo and Train, there are the maps that can be successful for them.

I clearly think it's enough to take one map for Avangar.

Additionally, we have a very decent odd over there.
