Predicted result of the match Virtus.pro - G2 Esports
Both teams show not the most stable game at this tournament. Let's bet on the card total over 2.5.
A terrific series for the PGL Copenhagen Major 2024 playoffs between G2 Esports and Virtus.pro. Both teams are 2-2, which means there is no chance for mistakes.
G2 Esports - they had huge problems with ECSTATIC, lost to Cloud9 and Natus Vincere, also had a win against FURIA. m0nesy is showing great, huNter is also fine, but NiKo is still doubtful. They play unstable, can lose absolutely any map, no stable pool. I think they are most confident in Inferno.
Virtus.pro - often played Inferno, they won against Heroic, paiN, and lost against Imperial. Yesterday they lost to Eternal Fire, as Inferno was the decider there and they came away with no chance. Inferno can definitely be decisive in this match against G2. Virtus.pro traditionally has a very strong Overpass and they should definitely pick this card.
