Astralis climbed to the top spot in the CS:GO tour after winning a trophy and $99,000 at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe and a comeback victory over Natus Vincere in the Grand final. However, they didn’t stay at the top for long because they suffered a couple of defeats to Vitality and Heroic at the DreamHack Open Fall 2020. They finished in 3rd place at that tournament and won $14,000 along with 2188 RMR Points for their efforts. Astralis won 15 of the previous 18 matches.

On the other hand, they were below average on Dust2 (40.0%). Astralis will be playing with a new lineup that didn’t play a single map together and it was assembled before this tournament. The team members are Xyp9x (new player, 1.04 rating), dupreeh (1.12), dupreeh (1.04), device (1.14), and Magisk (1.09).
MIBR Team Stats and Latest Results
MIBR is the worst-ranked team at the BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020, and therefore, the biggest underdogs here, so it would be shocking to see them beating Astralis on Monday. They didn’t play well recently and actually didn’t play at all since early September. MIBR lost nine of the last 14 games.
In the previous three months, MIBR was above average on Dust2 (60.0%) and Mirage (60.0%), while they displayed disappointing performances on Inferno (16.7%), Vertigo (25.0%), and Overpass (25.0%). MIBR went through bigger changes than Astralis and changed three players of their lineup. Now, the lineup consists of kNgV- (1.08), trk (0.96), LUCAS1 (0.97, new player), leo_drk (1.08, new player), and vsm (1.15, new player).

Astralis vs. MIBR Betting Preview
MIBR doesn’t have the slightest chance to make a surprise in this one, and I think this game will end very quickly. I expect Astralis to win with authority and focus on the next round, where they will face a more serious opponent. I am backing Astralis to keep MIBR under 9 rounds per map and that’s why I am going with Under in total rounds.
