Renegades vs Astralis

Renegades ranked #16 from Australia are playing against Astralis ranked #5 from Denmark in the IEM Katowice 2018 with a prize pool of $500,000 and 16 teams fighting for it.

This is a LAN tournament, and this is a Bo1 game.

Renegades favor Cache, Nuke, and Cobble, while Astralis favors Overpass, Nuke, and Train.

Pistol performance surprisingly goes to Renegades who have 52,6% over Astralis who have 38,6%.

These two teams have met two times, and both times Astralis claimed victory.

When looking at stats only for LAN games, Renegades have a mix of win/lose matches. And when looking at Bo1 matches, they are very bad, winning only four out of last seven matches.

Astralis on the other hand, have much better stats regarding Bo1 matches. They won against FaZe and Cloud9, North, G2 etc. But also lost several games against lower-tier teams. Bo1's can really be unpredictable matches.

Looking at the form, Astralis have had some rough times in ESL league, losing three Bo1 matches in a row, but they seem to keep up the pace and to advance their gameplay.

Winer of this match goes to play against the winner of SK vs AVANGAR.

I believe Astralis can claim an easy win here, but since this is a Bo1 match, don't bet too much.

Good luck to all bettors and bet responsibly!
