Astralis enter this matchup with superior structure, stronger CT setups, and higher individual form across the board. 3DMAX have shown real improvement and upset potential, but their mid‑round coordination and closing ability lag behind Astralis’ experience. Unless Astralis collapse in the veto, their depth and consistency should carry a clean win.
Especially jabbi and staehr were great in the CS2 stats against EYEBALLERS yesterday. After all Astralis found their groove and demolished the Swedish in the decider. Astralis is getting close to the top 10 hottest CS2 teams in the world. 3DMAX are also trending (cautiously) in the right direction. This is the first semifinals for the French in a long time.
Astralis still look more dangerous and the market undervalues their dominancy against the French.
CS2 Betting Prediction: Astralis at 1.40 Odds.
