Astralis vs. ASG Betting Preview
ASG are the newcomers in this tournament so we should not expect much from them. Nevertheless, we should not overwrite the fact that they have a better line-up and also has an advantage on 3 maps, just Astralis. The Danish side has a consolidated line-up and will try to use this as an advantage. We believe ASG will take some time before they win their first match at the Swiss round. Therefore, we are predicting a win for the Danes in this game.
The Pick: Astralis to win.
