Astralis vs Eternal Fire Prediction: a Battle of Temperaments

BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe is the penultimate tournament in the BLAST League this gaming season. The tournament will be held separately for the European and American regions. In each region, teams will compete for a slot in the main event - BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022, which will be held on the LAN in Denmark. Each region has one slot, so only the winner will be able to represent their organization at the BLAST Finals.

The tournament will be held in one stage. In other words, there will be a playoff grid. The tournament will be held in single elimination (to one defeat). All tournament matches will be held in BO3 format.

Both teams, who will play in this confrontation are not having the best time. Turks, after failing to reach the majors, fired the captain. And the Danes in the same circumstances began to completely rework their lineup. This match will be a battle of characters, where the winner will be the one who is less susceptible to emotional turmoil.

From the very beginning their new squad played very unstable. Absolutely every player in the lineup fell out in some game. Very strong and skilful players who are individually stronger than many were simply unable to find their style of play. And the inexperienced coach, who most likely did not have the proper authority, was not able to build a team game. And no matter how hard they tried to retain the squad, very poor results forced the organization to take drastic measures after the team was unable to reach the majors.

In the confrontation with the Turks, bookmakers single out the Danes as the favorites. But is this really the case? Will the team be able to show a decent game at the moment of rebuilding? Probably not. This match is at least equal.

The last change in the lineup was the arrival of Peter Ardenskjold as head coach, who has not played or coached anywhere for two years. Also Mikkel MistR Thomsen from the academy is helping the squad finish the last tournament for this Astralis squad.

Best hltv rating - 3rd in the world. Currently in 11th place.

The best map is Inferno, with a win rate of 75% for 8 maps.

The Turkish team has been very similar to their opponents in this match since the beginning of their existence with their inconsistent results. Equally sharp downs quickly followed very sharp ups and sensations. Also, the squad couldn't decide on the main roster, and players often changed, and because of the small Turkish scene, former squad players often returned.

This time, the team Eternal Fire crashed completely when they didn't make it to the majors, losing all the crucial matches. The reason for the defeat was found in the new captain, who was signed not long before the qualifications themselves. According to the players' cameras, it is evident that the captain did not like the team's play, and the team did not agree with the captain. It was decided to replace him, and woxic came back as captain. They got their quota for this tournament through qualification (TWR Eastern European Masters Fall 2022), where they turned out to be the strongest team.

Against the incredibly experienced Astralis players, the Turkish team has no advantages except the mental state. If woxic and the company approach the match with good morale and a stable psyche, they have every chance to win.

The last change in the lineup was the return of Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç.

The best rating, according to hltv, is 10th in the world. The current ranking is 22nd.

The best card is Nuke, with a win rate of 82% in 11 cards played.
