Even though they haven’t looked at their best for some time, their match here at the quarter-final stage against TheMongolZ showed that they’re clearly in good form and ready to give their all at this tournament. ‘woxic’ showed incredible performance in that game, and the same goes for their two stars, ‘XANTARES’ and ‘Wicadia’. They’re yet to show that they can do it consistently, but as of now, they look in good form.
Astralis
The addition of the new in-game leader,’ HooXi’, seems to be showing results, as they won against Natus Vincere in their quarter-final match.’ Staehr’ was leading the scoreboards and clearly dominating the game, which is also a good sign of him being in good shape and Astralis not only relying on their star ‘device’.

HooXi was happy about their win against Natus Vincere
Match Prediction
It is hard to predict the winner, but considering both teams being inconsistent with their game for different reasons, we see it as the best choice not to choose a winner for this match, but a total number of maps to be played. We expect this match to go all three maps, resulting in a bet on a Total of Over 2.5 maps to be played.
Can HooXi make Astralis great again, or will it be Aurora to shine and finally take another chance at the trophy? We will have to see it this Saturday at 12:00 CET!
