Match Prediction: Team Liquid - Virtus.pro | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2021Team Liquid and Virtus.pro will meet in the semi-finals of IEM Katowice 2021 to compete for a place in the championship grand final. It's hard to say what the "liquid" ones will show after a week's pause. However, we know for sure that VP is fine.
Team Liquid Form
The fifth team of the world ranking managed to fix the mistakes, having arrived at IEM Katowice 2021 in full alert. However, the game of the North American team still depends on the stars, and the stars are not within the composition, but rather the stars in the sky. Therefore, the liquid game has a sufficient number of mistakes, which makes it difficult to name the team a contender for the title.
Recent results of the team:
- Defeat MIBR with a score of 16:12.
- Victory over OG with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 1.

Best Team Liquid cards:
- Mirage - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 67% wins.
- Inferno - 54% wins.

At the same time, we must not forget that "liquid" ones do not play on Train. However, in this match everything will depend on the individual play and strategies, so no statistic should get in the way.
Virtus.pro kits
The sixth team in the world ranking had a great start to the season, having won cs_summit 7. A little later, the team had a slight decline, which they managed to get out of during IEM Katowice 2021. As a result, Virtus.pro was able to walk through the lower bracket of the championship, knocking out many strong opponents from the race. Now the team has only one task - to give the CIS stage a final.
Recent results of the team:
- Lost to Natus Vincere with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over NiP with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 1.

At the same time, the team has not played Nuke for a long time, which is definitely not worth waiting for in the match. Nevertheless, the statistics of the team gives a chance to count on another resounding victory.
Personal meetings statistics
The last meeting of the teams is dated last year's IEM Katowice. Then the victory went to Liquid (2: 0).
Prediction for the match Liquid - Virtus.pro
I do not believe that the “liquid” ones will be able to beat the Russian team. First of all, Liquid's play is not credible. Secondly, VP is statistically far ahead of the opponent. And I don't see a single map where North Americans would look preferable. Thirdly, the liquid team play is not yet ideal. In addition, right now we are observing the frantic form of collectives from the CIS. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the Virtus.pro team to win.
