BIG vs Astralis

*** THIS IS A TIP FOR THE MAP INFERNO @ 20.10h ***

Ok, so here we have a clash of two teams competing for a prize pool of $125,000 and a top 6 places for LAN finals of ESL Pro League Season 6 Europe.

Astralis is 4th with WIN/LOSE | 7-3 and only 10 matches played

BIG is 6th with WIN/LOSE | 5-6 and 14 matches played

One big reason for Astralis to play their best game and win this match is because in the upcoming games they are playing against North tomorrow and against FaZe in 2 days time.

Regarding the opponents strength and weak form, i strongly think that Astralis will win this map too.

Let's see why?

As we already said so far on this tournament Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen has an awesome rating of 1.24 and overall his team is second in the stats table with an overall rating of 1.11 with just ten maps played.

BIG has Johannes "nex" Maget with 1.24 rating and Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz with 1.22 rating... BUT... Those stats are because they have four more games than Astralis and their players.

Astralis has a win ratio of 68% for the last 25 games with 17-8 score

BIG has a win ratio of 40% for the last 25 games with 10-15 score

Astralis opponent average rank for the last 25 games is #29,36

BIG opponent average rank for the last 25 games is #43,92

From the pistol performance stats, we can see that Astralis has a slight advantage.

Astralis CT 59,6% and as T side 48,1% with total of 53,8%

BIG CT 43,5% and as T side 52,2% with total of 47,8%

Regarding the Inferno map distribution, Astralis has 26,9% and BIG has only 4,3% Inferno maps played for the last online games according to one online CS:GO statistical tool. This is a really great statistical info in favour of Astralis.

If we look at the map Inferno, Astralis has a W/L score of 26-16 with win rate of 61,9%

They have won 3 out of 5 last games on this map with only 2 lost games against TOP TIER teams as Liquid and FaZe.

BIG on Inferno has a W/L score of 13-6 with win rate of 68,4%

BIG has won 3 out of 5 last games on this map + those wins were against good teams such as SK, Cloud9 and FaZe.

Based on all stats and data my bet here is Astralis to win map Inferno but this should be a low - med bet. Do not drop all your money, the stats are in favour for Astralis but BIG has played last few games on this map really good, so low/med bet here.

Good luck to all and cheers!
