Astralis vs MIBR

Team Form & Rankings

Astralis (#13) come in with steady LAN form—having recently beaten Wildcard 2–0 before falling to NAVI—demonstrating a solid but not elite recent performance profile.

MIBR (#14) are struggling somewhat: their average rating over the past month dropped to around 5.3, and they've registered losses to FlyQuest and others, highlighting inconsistency.

Head-to-head: MIBR pulled off a surprise 2–0 win over Astralis in the IEM Katowice play-in, with strong mid-round plays and CT-side discipline overcoming Astralis' structure.

Edge: Even, though Astralis' higher overall stability balances MIBR’s recent confidence boost.

Map Pool Insights

Astralis typically remove Anubis and favor Mirage (mid-heavy structure) and Ancient as a decider, with a solid 57% win rate on Inferno.

MIBR tend to ban Dust2 and often pick Inferno or Nuke—Inferno being their strongest map (63% win rate), while their deeper map pool remains undeveloped.

Map advantage: Slightly favors Astralis in depth, but MIBR's strength on Inferno and Nuke gives them a viable veto path.

Individual & Tactical Factors

Astralis field a stable core: stavn, jabbi, device, cadiaN—each capable of high-impact play, though recently hovering around 1.0–1.06 rating—providing dependable mid-round and clutch potential.

MIBR’s lineup (insani, Lucaozy, exit) stepped up in Katowice: insani posted a 1.32 rating and Lucaozy 1.30, particularly dominating Mirage and Ancient.

Tactically, Astralis lean on structured utility and default setups, whereas MIBR utilize more aggressive trades and mid-round entries—they found success disrupting Astralis in their last encounter.

Tactical Scenarios & Prediction

Map 1 (likely Mirage – Astralis pick): Expect structured CT halves and disciplined default holds—Prediction: 13–11 Astralis.

Map 2 (MIBR pick – likely Inferno): MIBR's mid-round presence and confidence could swing this one—Prediction: 13–10 MIBR.

Map 3 (decider, e.g., Ancient or Nuke): Close battle, but Astralis' broader staff and map depth should let them edge it—Prediction: 13–11 Astralis.

Summary

Astralis: Reliable map pool depth, stable structure, and clutch capability—though lacking recent dominance.

MIBR: Boosted confidence from a key win, strong fragging on mid-round-heavy maps, but limited map pool flexibility.

Expect a tightly contested BO3—Astralis should regain control, but MIBR are dangerous and capable of forcing a decider.
