Godsent - North

The decisive match for the qualification to the Major tournament and although Astralis is the clear favorite, I wouldn't underestimate the Ukraine stack. They managed to grab maps against the strong form of BIG and Heroic. And although they didn't cover the lines, Astralis is currently a weakened opponent.

In terms of the map pool, they are not favorable for the Danes, as their strongest map, Vertigo, overlaps with Ukraine's perma-ban map, Nuke, in all matches. In theory, we should see Vertigo for sure, and possibly Ancient with Mirage/Inferno.

Ukraine has improved significantly lately, winning 7 out of 9 matches over the past month, including against Peru in this qualification. The two losses were close, with only 2 rounds separating them (14:16 and 11:13). I think Ghana is also real and Ukraine could win either 2-0 or 2-1, but for the bet, it might be enough for them to just win one map.
