ESL Pro League Europe

Best of 3 Series

• Astralis vs. Heroic
• Mousesports vs. ENCE

Astralis vs. Heroic

This should be a very competitive matchup between these two teams. Astralis is riding a five-game win streak over their last five games played while Heroic comes into this matchup as winners of four of their last five maps played. Heroic does carry the map advantage as they have a higher winning percentage on five of the seven playable maps over the last three months of games played so this is an area that does favor Heroic. From a recent form standpoint, Astralis carries a clear edge as they have gone 12-5 over their last 17 maps played while accumulating a team K/D ratio of 1.16 while Heroic has gone 16-10 over their last 26 games with a team K/D ratio of 1.02.

Es3tag has been a very dominant player for Astralis as he has produced a 1.37 K/D ratio over the last 15 maps played. He has been the steadiest player and would be one to consider for your Astralis stacks. Magisk and Device are always in play as they are very reliable and carry above a 1.10 K/D ratio over their last 15 maps played. If looking for more of a value play from Astralis, gla1ve and dupreeh are viable options, especially with the form dupreeh has been showing over the last month (1.23 K/D ratio over the last 15 maps).

Heroic will be a tough team for Astralis to beat and with their success on five of the seven playable maps, it would not be surprising if this series goes all three games. Stavn is the main catalyst on this Heroic squad as he leads the team with a 1.15 K/D ratio over his last 26 maps played and is the most consistent player. niko has been the second-best player for Heroic as he has produced a 1.04 K/D ratio over the same timespan. TeSeS and cadiaN are the value plays from Heroic but with this being a tough matchup against Astralis, it is best to just look at niko and Stavn on this slate.

Prediction: Astralis wins 2-1

Mousesports vs. ENCE 

The second game on this two-game slate features the #21 ranked Mousesports squad vs. the #22 ranked ENCE club. This looks to be a very close matchup and it wouldn't be a surprise if this game went all three games. Mousesports looks to have the advantage from a recent form standpoint as they have gone 20-14 with a 1.02 team K/D ratio over their last 34 maps played while ENCE has gone 12-10 with a team K/D ratio of .96 over their last 22 maps played. In addition, Mousesports holds the map advantage on four of the seven viable maps so they seem to have the entire edge over ENCE.

The top plays from Mousesports are ropz and frozen. They have both had K/D ratios above 1.10 over the last 34 maps played and have K/D differentials above +60. If looking for a value play from this squad, Bymas seems like a viable option as he is under 7k and has carried a .97 K/D ratio over his last month of games played. For ENCE, they really rely on one player which is Allu. He leads ENCE with a 1.16 in K/D ratio but is the only player that carries a plus ratio over the month. If looking for another piece to stack with Allu, suNny is viable as he is $6,200 and carries the second-highest K/D ratio on the ENCE squad with a .98 ratio over the last 22 maps played.

Prediction: Mousesports wins 2-1
