?Astralis have yet to (and likely never will) reach the same heights they did in 2018-2019, but they have started showing some improvement. After a four-month-long dry streak, the Danish squad took silver from BLAST Premier Spring European Showdown 2022 and made another final earlier this month in the Pinnacle Cup Championship.
Even though Astralis have yet to win a tournament this season, they have looked better this month, and we expect them to continue improving – especially if the rumours of Valdemar “valde” Vangs? and Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz joining the team are true.
Movistar Riders have achieved nearly nothing since their surprising run to PGL Major Stockholm 2021. Even though they placed top-four at Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022 a couple of weeks back, they only had to defeat TYLOO (2-1), which is hardly worth celebrating.
Astralis are priced as the favourites for this match, and rightly so as they’re much stronger than Movistar Riders, who are likely one of the weakest teams at this tournament. Anything less than a 2-0 sweep for Astralis would be disappointing.

?FaZe Clan sit atop the global CS:GO rankings table, and they’ll likely remain there for a while longer. But they have slowed down a bit since winning PGL Major Antwerp 2022.
With two fifth/sixth-place finishes from Intel Extreme Masters XVII Dallas and the BLAST Premier Spring Final, FaZe have shown that they’re not unbeatable. However, it takes a solid team to push FaZe onto their back foot.
OG have yet to win a CS:GO tournament since BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022 in February. Most recently, OG attended Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022, but they couldn’t make it past Ninjas in Pyjamas in the semi-finals, which is not good enough.
OG have the potential to be competitive against the world’s top CS:GO teams, but their form isn’t good enough for us to believe they can defeat FaZe. There’s a 50/50 chance OG will win one map; therefore, we have to side with FaZe to cover the map line at plus money.
