Astralis vs Metizport Match Prediction and Analysis - BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 EU Qualifier

In the decisive match of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 European Qualifier, Astralis and Metizport will face off - both teams have a 2-1 record and are fighting for a direct ticket to the main part of the championship. This series will be held in the Bo3 format, and it may well reach three maps, as both teams demonstrate an unstable but potentially explosive game. Over the past six months, the rivals have not met each other, which adds even more intrigue.

Current form of the teams

Metizport lost in their last match against OG with a score of 1-2, but before that, they beat BC.Game and B8. Their performance in the second tier tournaments shows systematic work, albeit with failures in matches against higher-level opponents.

Legacy

Astralis ' strongest peaks are Ancient (65%) and Nuke (58%). The team completely avoids Anubis (35 bans), while having a strong Train (57%). However, recent games on Dust II and Mirage (25-38%) leave much to be desired - 5 consecutive defeats on Dust II only confirm this.

Metizport, on the contrary, play more in the style of an outsider - they bet on Mirage (28 maps, 54%) and Inferno (64%). Their Dust II (33%) is a weak link, as well as the complete lack of play on Train. However, they demonstrate stability on Ancient (63%) and Nuke (69%).

Match Prediction

Metizport has strong stats on Nuke, Ancient, Inferno, maps where Astralis also looks confident, so everything can be decided by the discipline on Mirage or Dust II. Astralis' advantage is in its more powerful opponent experience, but Metizport has a deeper map pool and stability on key maps. In a match that is likely to cover all three maps, we'll give Astralis a 2-1 advantage due to experience.

Prediction: Astralis - 2:1
