Astralis come in ranked #11 in the world, Betclic #49.

Our call publishes before kickoff. Free on csedge.io — premium members get every call up front.

Astralis

✅ Cache strength: 71% winrate over 7 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Ancient (86% pick rate)

❌ Only 0% winrate on Dust2 over 5 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (72% bans) limits their map bargaining

Betclic

✅ Ancient strength: 75% winrate over 8 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Anubis (62% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 12 wins in last 18 (62%) shows momentum

❌ Practically never plays Inferno (95% banned), reducing veto flexibility
