Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - Movistar Riders | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Challenger February 2022Virtus.pro and Movistar Riders will compete for the right to reach the playoffs of ESL Challenger February 2022 from the first place. The Spaniards got off to a good start in the tournament, literally tearing Dignitas apart. Well, the team from the CIS tried to be smart against 9z, only at the end realizing that it was necessary to play easier against the natives.
Form Virtus.pro
The fifth team of the world ranking crumpled started at the group stage of ESL Challenger February 2022. Firstly, the team won only by chance, although it was not obliged to lose. Secondly, sometimes Virtus.pro sagged a lot in shooting, feeling insecure. However, the team managed to come to their senses and understand how to work against the Latin Americans. And yet the team left behind questions, as it seems to me, not fully returning after the break.

Movistar Riders Uniform
The 23rd team in the world ranking failed at the end of last season, after which they went to rest. As a result, the team made a good debut at ESL Challenger February 2022, literally tearing Dignitas apart. Moreover, the Spaniards looked very self-confident, which is important at the start of the season. However, I still don't believe in Movistar Riders, who were very upset at the end of last season.

Prediction for Virtus.pro vs Movistar Riders match
Personally, I'm still not sure about the Spaniards, who have never beaten Virtus.pro yet. At the same time, the choice of cards is very limited Inferno and Vertigo, which are suitable for both one and the second. And yet, I prefer the team from the CIS, which, as it seems, is just a level higher. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Virtus.pro team.
