Match Prediction: Movistar Riders - Virtus.pro | CS2 (CS:GO)
PGL Major Stockholm 2021 Challengers StageMovistar Riders and Virtus.pro will meet in the second round of PGL Major Stockholm 2021. If you haven't forgotten, a couple of weeks ago the teams played at BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021, where VP almost without a chance closed the Spaniards. And from that moment on, the "bears" introduced a newcomer, with whom, on paper, they became much stronger.
Movistar Riders uniform
The 15th team in the world rankings approached PGL Major Stockholm 2021 with three wins in a row. However, they were frankly weak rivals. Now the Spaniards started in Stockholm, creating problems for themselves out of the blue. And shut down the Renegades guys a little earlier, I could have believed in the promise of Movistar Riders. But the team relaxed too early, for which they almost got it.
Recent Movistar Riders results:

Best Movistar Riders Cards:
- Inferno - 80% wins.
- Nuke - 78% wins.
- Vertigo - 63% wins.
- Overpass - 57% wins.
Spaniards have a simple relationship with Dust 2 - most often they just ban it. Although I would not say that Movistar Riders can boast of strong performance on Mirage.
Virtus.pro kits
The 12th world ranked team arrived at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 with new clothes, finally shaving off the SANJI roster. However, FL1T's debut turned out to be difficult, as the team was clearly nervous, making an unthinkable number of mistakes. Another thing is that the class played its own and Virtus.pro won a victory, even if it spent a lot of energy and, I don't exclude, emotions.
Recent Virtus.pro results:

It is clear that the team will not leave Nuke in this BO1. At the same time, I would not say that the team looks confidently on Ancient.

Prediction for the match Movistar Riders - Virtus.pro
It is possible that in this match we will see Vertigo or Inferno. And if I didn't like VP because of the dampness, the Spaniards almost flooded the game against Renegades. In addition, the latter experience is clearly smoldering over Movistar Riders, only exacerbating the already apparent underdog status. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Virtus.pro team, which today is obliged to push and go to 2-0.
