The new Aster squad has not yet proved itself. We do not think they will be able to improve their results. The fifth position player does not seem strong enough for the level of the best teams in China. Lack of practice will also be a problem in the first games, as they still lack teamwork to show their maximum.
This version of IG Vitality's squad looks solid. Their first matches showed tactical flexibility and a good level of performance. Among the disadvantages, we note the drawbacks in the map view, but this problem does not seem to be insoluble.
IG Vitality is not the easiest opponent as it might seem at first glance. Aster hasn't shown themselves yet, so it's strange to consider them such big favorites in the first matches of the competition.
Our prediction: IG Vitality to take at least 1 map. We recommend the “X2” bet, odds 3.12
