Match Prediction: OG - Virtus.pro | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Summer 2021OG and Virtus.pro will meet in the semifinals of the IEM Summer 2021 Upper Bracket. The winner will book a place in the championship playoffs, while the losing team will go to knead the clay in the open spaces of the “losers” bracket. However, I would like to inform you in advance that there is no favorite in this series and cannot be.
Form OG
The 20th World Ranked Team completely failed in FLASHPOINT 3, finishing in last place after two clean sheets. However, the team quickly rebooted and won Spring Sweet Spring 2, beating BIG in the grand final. In addition, at the start of IEM Summer 2021, the team continued to crush the TOP-5 of the last RMR tournament, closing NiP on Mirage. And I would like to highlight the excellent discipline that OG is starting to develop.

At the same time, the team is not so unambiguous on Overpass, which the opponent will obviously be content with. In addition, the team needs to somehow get rid of Vertigo.
Virtus.pro kits
The ninth team in the world ranking became the second at the recent EPIC League CIS 2021. And if the team looked rather weak at the start of the championship, the guys changed in the playoffs. Yes, maybe the team was not enough for the final, but the fact remains - VP found the thread of her game. As for the start of IEM Summer 2021, the team was not without problems in the second half of Vertigo, but still dealt with fnatic, proving their concentration.

OG meeting statistics - Virtus.pro
During the last season, the teams held three meetings:
- Virtus.pro victory at ESL Pro League Season 11 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
- OG's victory in FLASHPOINT 2 with a score of 2: 1.
- Virtus.pro victory at FLASHPOINT 2 with a score of 2: 1.
However, let's not forget that since then, OG has renewed its roster, becoming a little stronger.
Prediction for the match OG - Virtus.pro
For me personally, there is no favorite in this meeting. If Virtus.pro is definitely stronger on Overpass, then OG can respond to Mirage and Dust 2, thereby leveling the chances. In addition, in all three matches of the teams, we saw the exchange of cards and the exit to the desider. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Card Total.
