Astralis and Copenhagen Flames will meet in one of the first matches of the first stage of PGL Major Stockholm 2021. Who will be stronger in the Danish derby?
Astralis
The once formidable guys from Astralis continue to represent only a pale shadow of their former selves. There are no victories in tournaments, and successful matches are quickly replaced by failed ones. On the eve of the most prestigious CS tournament:GO the Danish team took part in IEM Fall 2021 Europe and took the fourth place. At the group stage, Astralis took five wins in five games, then coped with Fiend in the quarterfinals (2-0), and after that suffered two defeats - 0:2 from ENCE and Team Vitality.
Copenhagen Flames
The "Lights" have gained good shape before the Major and claim high places. However, it is not without failures. In the framework of the Elisa Invitational Fall 2021, they managed to take second place, and this despite the fact that the Danes won three victories in the group stage and managed without defeats, then they beat Gambit Esports (2-0) in the first round of the playoffs, and in the next match they lost to the Bulgarian team Fiend (0-2).
Forecast
Considering that the match will be held in the bo1 format, anything can happen in it. However, I suggest you believe in the guys from Astralis, who know how to win at a Major and will certainly tune in to the starting game in the maximum way.
