Astralis is one of those examples when winter reshuffles could ruin everything. After the arrival of Kasper Møller and reconciliation with former HEROIC teammates, the Danish team finally has a concrete course of development, because there are no doubts about the captain's talent. Doubts remain only in how effectively Astralis spent almost a month to finally establish all the interactions.
In the last video before the start of BLAST Bounty Season 1 cadiaN said that the team went to training even earlier than scheduled. Add to that the additional motivation in the form of a home LAN-event at the end of January and you will understand why the stars are aligned in Astralis' favor.
Wildcard
But Wildcard definitely has a lot to please their fans as well. First of all, we rated the performance at the major in December as a solid five, given the initial expectations of the result. Secondly, after coming out of vacation, the Americans even managed to win one online tournament, preparing for the competitive season in a relaxing environment with good opponents.
This is another case where transfers could have ruined everything, and Wildcard quite rightly did not take that step. A correction should be made only on the level of both teams: if Astralis is preparing to storm the world top-10, then the Americans are just yet to establish themselves at the level of top-20.
Expert Betting Tips
Considering the above, we should take into account the good momentum that both teams have gained before the start of the new season. As such, we will avoid outcomes where the higher-ranked Astralis can win by a wide margin. As it is, Wildcard also has the resources to fight the onslaught of the Danes and even afford one card during the series.
