Cloud9 vs Astralis

Long anticipated ECS Season 4 Finals finally arrived. This is LAN tournament and it is held in Cancun, Mexico.

Top 8 ranked teams are fighting for the grand prize of $750 000.

Cloud9 and Astralis are playing a group B opening match.

C9 is doing great lately, they won 5 out of 5 last matches which is a great confidence booster, all 5 players have KDA greater than 1,10.

Australis is struggling lately, they had a minor roster change too, after device got sick RUBINO stepped in but things are not great in this team. They lost 4 out of 5 last matches. Those 4 matches were against Tier 1 teams but they did not make a single win. Nobody can replace device, he is the hearth of Astralis.

Head to head they played 5 times, 3 wins for C9 and 2 for AST.

We don't know the map yet, but C9 is pretty good on any map in LAN with around 70% win rate in the last 3 months, except for Overpass(28%), If they play overpass you should be careful, so wait with your bet, you can check maps on HLTV 10 minutes before the start. I need to write this report a few hours earlier so more people would see it.

ASTRALIS is doing really bad on LAN tournaments vs Tier 1 teams in last 3 months, with around 40% win rate, except for overpass(60%) and train (71%). But don't worry about Train, C9 have win ratio 78% there and last time this 2 teams played Train (one month ago) C9 won with a handicap. Community pools on HLTV favor C9 63% - 33 %.

My tip here is high bet on C9, 8/10. GL & HF
