Astralis vs Evil Geniuses

Ah, so sweet! Here we have a best of 5 final including two top-3 teams in the world.

It's gonna be a very interesting match, possibly with all 5 maps, but I think Evil Geniuses will take a win here.

1. Maps. What can be easier than map draft in best of 5? Astralis will remove Mirage, NRG don't play Vertigo and surely will ban it. Then we have 5 maps left.

Dust2 – 55% for Evil Geniuses

Inferno - even chances

Nuke - 60-65% for Astralis

Train - 60% for NRG

Overpass - 90% for Astralis.

So if we talk about the maps, honestly, we have an equal situation here: 2 maps in favor of Astralis, 2 in small favor of EG. Actually, Astralis might be in advantage due to their Overpass play.

2. Current shape of the teams – all 10 guys are beautiful! Both teams are on the pick of the shape, so there's an even situation.

Then why am I talking about the advantage for Evil Geniuses? Morale state. I would say that their shape, their performance and confidence plus signing by Evil Geniuses right before the event and additionally home stage will bring them success.

My prediction is: 3-2 for EG.
