Well, there are 2 things Astralis can do to throw off VP. 1. They ban Nuke - Astralis is strong on Nuke, but VP is currently the best in the world on it. On Cobble, VP might struggle to play against them, because no one knows how Astralis plays Cobble. 2. They pick Train - VP showed they can play Overpass(against North) and they also are a little shaky on Train. Astralis is probably the best team RN on both Overpass and Train, so we will see what they think VP is weaker on. I think with this veto, there is a possibility for a quick 2:0 to Astralis. Remember they will start as T on their map, which is very good for them and then have CT start on Nuke, which always gives the possibility of a stomp after a strong CT side. More over, Astralis always seem to outplay VP individually and they are better skill-wise. The only way for VP to win this is if they keep their team work on top level, Snax delivers his usual level, TaZ and Pasha continue with their QF and SF performance and both byali and Neo step up.
