Bet highlight:

Full analysis:

The next match to watch at PGL Astana 2025 is Aurora vs Astralis. This one stands out because, while both teams appear fairly even in terms of recent form, the market seems surprisingly one-sided. On paper, Aurora might have more raw firepower, especially looking at their performance over the last year or so. But in recent matches, Aurora has been slipping, while Astralis seems to be improving steadily with HooXi in the lineup. From what I’ve seen, Astralis matches feel more structured and coherent now, which is a good sign that HooXi’s influence is already making a difference. This feels close to a 50/50 matchup, so odds around 2.50 on Astralis look like value to me. I’m taking Astralis here. Good luck and enjoy the game!
