In the match for survival at the challenger stage of the MJ in Stockholm, the Danes from Astralis will fight with the Brazilians from GODSENT.
Astralis
The Danish team, which a couple of years ago was the hegemon in the world of Counter Strike, has exhausted itself and it is already clear that the guys are tired of each other. Even the main tournament doesn't really motivate them anymore and as a result they can go home very quickly. In the first game day, Astralis won only 12 rounds in two matches, and this is of course a terrifying result. In the first game in the Danish derby, there was a defeat on Overpass from Copenhagen Flames with a score of 6:16. It seemed that this misfire was permissible, everything happens in the first game and even more so in the VO1 format, but already 6:16 on Dust2 with the Entropiq team proved the fact that Astralis has big problems and if they reach the "legends" stage, there will be a real miracle.
GODSENT
The Brazilians, in turn, also did not have a very successful first game day, but at least they managed to compete in both meetings. At the same time, it should be noted that GODSENT twice managed to bring the peak of the map to Nuke. In the opening match against the European team ENCE, a defeat with a score of 10:16 followed, and already in the evening match against Spirit there was a slightly more stubborn struggle, but in the end the Russian team turned out to be stronger with a score of 16:12.
Forecast
Astralis came to Stockholm, of course, not in the status of an outsider, but the game shows that the Danish team no longer has a great desire, and perhaps, first of all, the opportunity to show a high level of play. In such a match, the battle for their prestige is already beginning first of all, it will be too much to fly out of the major among the first, but GODSENT will certainly give an extremely serious fight, the Brazilians are quite capable of this with a competent peak of cards. Perhaps it's worth taking a risk here and putting more than 2.5 cards on the total.
