Ottelun ennustus Astralis VS Cloud9

Astralis and Cloud9 will meet in the final of the upper net of the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023. The winner will get a ticket to the championship straight away, while the loser will get another chance at the bottom of the grid.

To be fair, Cloud9 have enough chances here for another win. First of all, Cloud9 are in great form as they won the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe the day before, showing great play and the ability to rebuild as the match progressed.

The Danish side, on the other hand, have been difficult to watch so far, with their recent successes dating back only to the current qualifying cycle, while behind them is a string of failures at the big level.

So here I would look out for a logical win for the Cloud9 team, who in their current form have an excellent chance of solving the next task without too much hassle.

Astralis form

The sixteenth ranked team in the world recently visited ESL Pro League Season 17, where even in the winning matches against ATK and Team Spirit did not look the best. In the end, the Danish team even missed the play-offs, once again adding reason for reflection.

Then Astralis got through the first open qualification for IEM Dallas 2023 with confidence, but they didn't see much competition even there.

As for Long Sogneg in the indoor qualification, here the team managed to beat Team Spirit, and then barely got past GODSENT. In other words, the Danes are not that promising, although quite a lot of time has passed.

Astralis' latest results:

• A 16-6 win over 1WIN.
• A 16-10 win over Iron Branch.
• 2-0 win over HEET.
• Beat Team Spirit 2-0.
• Beat GODSENT 2-1.

Astralis top scorers:

• Ancient - 80% wins.
• Nuke - 71% wins.
• Overpass - 71% wins.
• Vertigo - 62% wins.
• Inferno - 56% wins.

Let's not forget that the Danish team is still refusing Anubis.

Form Cloud9

The seventh team in the world rankings, on the other hand, made it to the finals of the latest ESL Pro League Season 17 where they beat FaZe Clan without a chance.

However, the Russian team managed to reach the final of BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 and also won the last BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe.

As for performances in the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, Cloud9 managed to get past sYnck and Ninjas in Pyjamas, and that's despite a challenging schedule.

Cloud9's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over GODSENT.
• A 2-0 win over sYnck.
• A 2-1 win over Ninjas in Pyjamas.
• Victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas with the score 2-1.
• 2-1 victory over BIG.

Cloud9's best scores:

• Vertigo - 92% wins.
• Mirage - 80% wins.
• Ancient - 67% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.

Let's not forget that the Russian team continues to give up Nuke maps.

Astralis - Cloud9 match statistics

Within last season, the teams held three meetings:

• Cloud9's 2-1 win at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B.
• Cloud9's 2-0 win at the Roobet Cup 2022.
• Astralis win at IEM Cologne 2022 2-0.

However, there have been changes in the teams' line-ups since then.

Astralis vs Cloud9

I don't see much of a The International riga in the match, as the Danish team is too limited in their choices. Yes, there's Inferno and Ancient, but Cloud9 are quite good here as well. So in this case I would recommend to bet on Cloud9 to win.
