Virtus.pro and Spirit will meet in the final of the lower bracket of the EPIC League CIS 2021. Both teams have already reached the TOP-4 of the championship, which is not developing in the most logical way. However, I dare to point out that we have before us another sign worthy of the grand final.
Virtus.pro kits
The seventh team in the world ranking actually made it to the playoffs of the EPIC League CIS 2021 with great difficulty. It's another matter that here the team first beat forZe, and then fell for Akuma. Nevertheless, the "bears" were able to rectify the situation by crashing Entropiq "losers" in the grid. And again, I see a wonderful transformation of the team in just one day, which makes me very happy, given the distance of the tournament, which lasts almost three weeks.
Recent Virtus.pro results:
- Lost to Entropiq with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over ex-Marlian with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over forZe with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat to Akuma with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat Entropiq with a score of 2: 0.
Best Virtus.pro cards:
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Dust 2 - 58% wins.
- Train - 57% wins.
- Inferno - 55% wins.
It is worth recalling that Virtus.pro does not play on Nuke. However, at the same time, the team has difficulties with Mirage and Vertigo.
Spirit form
The 12th team in the world rankings flashed in the group stage with three easy wins. At the same time, the team won a landslide victory in the quarterfinals until it became a bait for Gambit. In that match, the “dragons” felt all the helplessness of their ideas, since the opponent knew everything in advance. However, Spirit calmly played with NAVI, closing the TOP-2 team in the world with a score of 2: 0. And it seems to me that this story is cooler than the one that VP has.
- Victory over Gambit with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat Entropiq with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over K23 with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost at Gambit with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2: 0.
Best Spirit Cards:
- Overpass - 100% wins.
- Dust 2 - 83% wins.
- Inferno - 75% wins.
The situation is a little worse on Mirage, Train and Nuke. However, do not forget that Spirit will definitely refuse the Vertigo card.
Virtus.pro - Spirit meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held one meeting - at DreamHack Masters Spring 2021, the victory went to Virtus.pro (2: 0).
Prediction for the match Virtus.pro - Spirit
First of all, I'm not going to start from the April team match, in which VP shut down Spirit by a hair's breadth. The main reason lies in the difference, because in a month, the "dragons" have worked on the mistakes, seriously perk up their spirits.
Secondly, the map situation suits Spirit better, as the team is slightly stronger on Dust 2 and Overpass. At the same time, we can say that Inferno, Train and Mirage are roughly equal for the teams, as evidenced by the history of meetings with exchanges.
However, the victory of the “dragons” over NAVI gives an incredible advantage in psychological terms, and Spirit clearly intends to take revenge from VP for the last defeat. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the Spirit team to win.
