Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - B8 | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR AVirtus.pro and B8 will meet in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A. Both teams have played well in the Long Conpeg of the championship, showing strong play on the Ancient map.
But if the Russian team straightened out SAW, being the favorite, the Ukrainians sensationally shut down MOUZ, and not even in a close game. However, I wouldn't think about the prospects of B8 yet, as there are a lot of questions on the table.
Therefore, here I would rely on a logical victory for Virtus.pro, which in this format can solve many questions already on the first game day.
Virtus.pro's form
The eighth team of the world ranking played well in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, but already in the 1/8 finals was defeated by NAVI.
Then the Russian team was in the play-offs of BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, where they promptly got caught by FORZE and went to get ready for the RMR tournament.
Fortunately, there were no problems with Virtus.pro at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A as the team outclassed SAW and came close to defending the title.
Virtus.pro's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over fnatic.

- Defeat at the hands of FORZE by a score of 0-2.

It is worth recalling that the Russian team have been consistently rejecting Nuke maps.
Form B8
The 42nd ranked team in the world almost miraculously qualified for the RMR tournament, as they started their way through the qualifiers with two defeats.
Further on, the Ukrainian team was in open qualification for ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, but came up with nothing against Spirit Academy and crashed out.
However, at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, the B8 team managed to pull off a minor miracle by shutting down MOUZ. And the boys played so confidently that you can't believe how, after all the defeats, you can be so transfixed.

Forecast for the match Virtus.pro - B8
It will be interesting if the teams play on Ancient. However, logically, B8 will have a little less freedom, as the opponent is more complex than the "mice". In turn, the Russian team simply has to use a simple net. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Virtus.pro team win.
