The Heroic vs Astralis battle will be the last Quarterfinal match of IEM Cologne 2023
This will be the second-ever encounter between these two teams, and their first encounter went in Heroic’s favor at this year’s Spring Groups. The two Danish teams will be fighting to meet G2 in the Semifinals, and for anyone who thinks this will be an easy victory for Heroic, we suggest having a look at Astralis’ recent set of wins. If you’re a fan of CSGO betting, let’s predict the winners of this exciting Playoffs match.
Heroic
As one of the best teams this year, Heroic came to the group stage as the favorites to reach the Playoffs. The Danes enjoyed a near-flawless run, only losing to ENCE in the Upper Bracket Final. With stavn on top of his game, defeating Astralis should be pretty easy for this powerful roster.

Astralis
After losing to G2 on their first Group Stage game, many predicted Astralis would have a quick exit as they had to beat powerful teams to get out of the Playoffs. Surprisingly, they defeated NIP, MOUZ and NAVI to secure the Quarterfinals, and these few wins against commendable names should give them confidence while facing Heroic.
