Prédiction de match: Virtus.pro - Team Liquid {{Counter-Strike (CS2)
BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021Virtus.pro and Liquid will meet in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021 quarterfinals. For me personally, these teams are equal, and in their individual play they are no different. Another thing is that VP is close to Europe, while the “liquid” last weeks have been playing exclusively with North American exoticism.
Virtus.pro kits
The ninth team in the world ranking recently fell into the playoffs of IEM Fall 2021 CIS, finishing only fourth. However, the team fulfilled their task, getting to PGL Major Stockholm 2021. At that time, information about the replacement SANJI appeared, against which Virtus.pro smeared Movistar Riders in the 1/8 finals of BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021. And it seems to me that the team already now ready for the tournament in Sweden.
Recent Virtus.pro results:
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 4.
- Victory over INDE IRAE with a score of 4: 2.
- Defeat against NAVI with a score of 0: 2.
- Lost to Entropiq with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2: 0.
Best Virtus.pro cards:
- Vertigo - 71% wins.
- Dust 2 - 57% wins.
- Overpass - 57% wins.
- Mirage - 56% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
There is no doubt that the team will ban Nuke. Although VP's advantage will be the absence of the Ancient card.
Liquid form
The 13th team in the world ranked third at IEM Fall 2021 North America, while showing very cool group play. But in the playoffs, the team lost almost everything, almost failing in the game for 3rd place. However, the "liquid" ones returned to Europe, where they had already closed 9z. But is it worth talking about the prospects of Liquid, starting from the game of such an opponent.
Recent Liquid results:
- Victory over paiN with a score of 16: 4.
- Victory over Extra Salt with a score of 16: 8.
- Defeat from GODSENT with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over paiN with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over 9z with a score of 2: 0.
Best Liquid cards:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Vertigo - 88% wins.
- Inferno - 70% wins.
- Mirage - 67% wins.
- Dust 2 - 67% wins.
I'd like to note that the team hasn't played on Ancient yet. In addition, Liquid has difficulties with Nuke, although we will definitely skip this map.
Virtus.pro - Liquid match statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Virtus.pro victory at IEM Katowice 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
- Liquid's victory at ESL Pro League Season 13 with a score of 2: 0.
Moreover, both meetings were close.
Prediction for the match Virtus.pro - Liquid
Personally, I liked VP's matching against Movistar Riders. Yes, and YEKINDAR again received a space from which the Latvian made a difference. In turn, it is clearly not worth evaluating Liquid's capabilities in playing with 9z, and in America the team sometimes was a freak. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Virtus.pro team.
