Prediction for the YaLLa Compass 2024 Astralis vs Heroic match which will take place on June 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.
Astralis
Astralis missed out on the IEM Dallas 2024, which was closely watched by CS2 fans, and had a little break to work on their game. Before that, the Danes had finished in the top four at three tournaments in a row: IEM Chengdu 2024, ESL Pro League Season 19, and the CCT Online 1 Global Finals. The Device team is struggling to get past the semi-finals. Will that be solved in Abu Dhabi?
First of all, we should note the progress made by Astralis. After a stunning failure at RMR, the major in Copenhagen was followed by a blame kick that was very skeptical in the community. But the upheaval at Astralis has led to results. Stavn and jabbi have flirted with their roles and their stats have improved dramatically. Device is experiencing a second youth, Staehr has not been lost after position rotations. Rookie br0 is doing the heavy lifting in this system, but he's doing it to the best of his ability. Over the past three months, Astralis has picked up local wins against FaZe, Virtus.pro, Eternal Fire, and Team Liquid - all top-15 teams in the HLTV ratings. However, the Danes are seventh in the team rankings, another reason to be proud.
Heroic
Heroic has also had some success. After the disaster of ESL Pro League Season 19, nicodooz left the team and degster moved to the sniper position. After a year of inactivity, Abdul put in a very good performance for BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 and helped the new team reach the playoffs. Degster didn't make it to Dallas, but with nicodooz Heroic made it to the IEM Dallas 2024 playoffs. The team will now try to win the YaLLa Compass 2024 title.
The substitution gave Heroic a boost. Nicodooz was very bad at AWP, which prevented Heroic from developing competent actions on the maps. With degster, playing became much easier, and NertZ and TeSeS showed their strengths more often. The latter came close to winning the MVP title after the group stage of IEM Dallas 2024, something that hasn't happened to the Dane in a long time. The excellent performance in Dallas allowed Heroic to climb back into the top 10 of the HLTV team rankings to eighth place.
Heroic's problems lie in matches against top opponents. So far, Heroic has not been able to compete with the best consistently. In Dallas, the team lost to Virtus.pro and Team Vitality, and the win over Natus Vincere should come as no surprise, as the born-to-win team was out of sorts. Before that, Heroic lost to Team Spirit in the semi-finals in Belgrade. Abu Dhabi has almost no full-fledged tier-1 teams, but Astralis can still cause a lot of trouble.
Expert Betting Tips
Astralis has lost in previous games, but that was to blame. Heroic hasn't met the new version of the Danish stars yet. Astralis is playing very well and could be a serious contender for the top 1 of HLTV in the near future. The team will start to prove their superiority by meeting against Heroic.
