The upcoming match between Astralis and Wildcard at the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier is crucial in the fight for a place in the next stage. Both teams have shown a high level of play in previous competitions, and this meeting in the Bo3 format promises to be intense and intriguing.

Current Team Form

Astralis is showing an unstable form. They did not successfully qualify for the European RMR B, and their performance at the Perfect World Shanghai Major left many questions. The Danish team is forced to look for the best strategies to compete with the opponent.

Wildcard are currently in great shape, with their victory at Frost and Fire Europe proving the team's strength. With 67% of wins in the last six months, they look more confident and better prepared for this match. Their successes against SINNERS and Insilio confirm their ability to adapt to different opponents.

Team Map Pool

Astralis have average results on Nuke (50%) and Inferno (58%), but have difficulties on Dust II (33%) and Mirage(40%). The choice of maps will be crucial for them.

Wildcard stands out on Inferno (72%) and Dust II (71%), which gives them an advantage in the mappool. However, weaknesses on Mirage can be exploited by Astralis.

Predicted map pool: Nuke, Dust II, Inferno are the most likely to be played.

Match Prediction

Given their current form and advantage in the mappool, Wildcard looks like a favorite in this matchup. Astralis will have to rely on their experience to create competition, but their instability could be the deciding factor.

Expected score: 2:1 in favor of Wildcard.

BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier is an important stage for reaching the final part of the tournament. The format with Single-Elimination grid and Bo3 matches leaves little room for error.
