In the first round of the lower bracket of WePlay AniMajor 2021 Virtus.pro will fight Vici Gaming. Once upon a time, it would have been a match for the champion title, but today one of the teams will leave the tournament.
Vici Gaming are playing in the 14th series of the tournament and have already "shot". It is extremely important for Vici Gaming to win and go straight to The International 10.
Now the Chinese team has 600 DPC points, and a victory over Virtus.pro guarantees them at least another 200. Virtus.pro will challenge this.
Virtus.pro in this Major is repeating its fate in Singapore. Having reached the playoffs in first place, they immediately go to the losers' bracket, where they will face a difficult test.
Last time, they managed to defeat the bloodless Quincy Crew, who were playing with a replacement. This time they will be confronted by Vici.
Vici Gaming Form
Following a good tradition, let's start the review with the command we already know. Vici Gaming, previously endowed with the title of the weakest Chinese team in Kiev (for which it is terribly ashamed), will play their 14th series.
After the Wild Card and the group stage, it was clear that Vici was getting tired. The last series of the group stage was very difficult for them, and the beating from Nigma called into question the future fate of the "Tigers".
After the group stage, Vici had time to rest and, most importantly, get ready for VP. I am sure Vici will approach this match with full responsibility.

Vici in Major play as expected: meticulous and standard, which is not surprising after so many matches. The most successful heroes are familiar guests: Ancient Apparation (8 matches, 88% win rate), Dark Willow (8 matches, 75% win rate), Mars (71% win rate with 7 games), Void (83% with 6 games).
Vici's main problem at the end of the bands is line failures. This is what Virtus.pro should cling to
Virtus.pro kits
Virtus.pro, as I said above, once again runs the risk of repeating the fate of the last major. But this time everything goes to the fact that the "bears" fly out even earlier.
In yesterday's game against Nigma, the bears did not succeed. And this is not surprising, because they played only 1 episode, and Nigma is battle-hardened, like Vici.
Virtus.pro latest matches results
- Win against NaVi 2-0
- Win against EXTREMUM with a score of 2-0
- Win against Team Spirit 2-1
- Win against Winstrike, 2-0
- Lose to Nigma 0-2
I don't see any sense in analyzing the heroes, since Vp plays like a metovo, but they don't see any good play. Yes, they are great lane and early game and they have to cling to it to try and beat Vici.
Personal meeting history
Previously, the clubs managed to play a decent number of matches with each other. In the last 5 fights, Vici Gaming has 1 meeting advantage (3-2).
The outcome of the fight
Again, the team seeding system as it is presented now needs to be overhauled. For the second season in a row, we see teams that went directly to the playoffs do not show anything.
On the other hand, teams playing both the Wild Card and the group stage might just burn out. But, I don't believe this will happen to Vici today.
Outcome: Vici's victory.
