Maç Tahmini: Astralis - Tricked Esport | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Astralis and Tricked will meet in the first round of the CCT North Europe Series #2. A very interesting meeting, if we consider it in detail. First, we have the Danish derby, albeit with a huge gap in the class.

Secondly, dev1ce will debut for Astralis after a year inactive. In addition, here the team will have to play against Tricked, where Lucky is playing - the one who was supposed to replace dev1ce.

And yet, in this match, I do not see any intrigue, since Astralis should roll their opponent without a chance. Besides, Tricked doesn't impress with its game, so I wouldn't wait for intrigue in the match.

Astralis shape

The seventeenth team in the world ranking took second place in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, but lost to Heroic in the grand final without a chance.

Then the Danish team went to Elisa Masters Espoo 2022, where they made it to the playoffs with great difficulty. And yet, Astralis managed to beat ENCE there, although they lost to fnatic after that and left the championship.

But now the team has had enough time to prepare, and the fact that dev1ce is back makes it much more likely to see a small return of the Danes.

Prediction for the match Astralis — Tricked

Despite a series of victories from Tricked, the team has not yet played with such a serious opponent. Moreover, Astralis can boast that in recent weeks it has been training a lot and has not shown its strategies.

The advantage in such a derby is the risk of seeing nerves from a weaker team, and Lucky may not be able to cope with psychological pressure. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend following in the footsteps of logic and betting on the victory of the Astralis team with a score of 2:0.
