Welcome to EGamersWorld.

The Roobet Cup 2023 playoffs with a prize pool of $250,000 continue. Along with that, the betting tiers for the upcoming matches continue.

We finish the breakdown of the first round of the play-offs championship with a breakdown of the match Vp - OG. Perhaps the central match of the day.

As we strive to identify the stronger contender in this match, the ultimate goal is to advance to the next round of playoffs. The victorious team will face off against the winner of the FURIA/Apeks pair, setting the stage for an intense showdown. For those looking to amplify the excitement, exploring CS2 betting sites could add an extra layer of anticipation to the outcome.

Let's go.

Form Vp.

We start the match analysis with the analysis of Vp's form. In this match the representatives of Eastern European CS school will play the first number one.

At the beginning of the year Vp played in three TIR tournaments. It was BB Playlist. Urbanistic, BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, and also BB Playlist. Freeddom. At the two "home" championships from BB Vp were in the top 8, but at the European RMR everything was even less happy - top 14.

Then Vp made a breakthrough by winning at ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. The victory there allowed them to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 18.

Among the victories, CCT Online Finals #2 is also worth mentioning. They beat Team Spirit in the grand finals and earned $100,000, which is pretty good.

• Vp lineup: Jame, FL1T, fame, n0rb3r7, mir.

Before ESL Pro League Season 18 Vp visited Gamers8, where they didn't get further than the top 8, and Dunav Party LAN, where in the grand finals they got revenge for their defeat on CCT by Spirit.

In the first match of EPL Season 18, Vp's opponent was Team Liquid. The match, as expected, ended in a full-fledged, combative Bo3 with Vp winning 2-1.

Next up, VP played G2 Esports and legitimately Ledgeili, though they fought back and took the map. The defeat sent Vp to the lower grid, where they first beat Eternal Fire and then outplayed Liquid again, thus reaching the EPL play-offs.

Vp did not manage to play in the main stage. Vp lost their first match against 9z Team, which was a rather unexpected result. At the end of the EPL S18 Vp finished in the top 16.

Things are going well at the Roobet Cup. Vp won the first match against their compatriots from Spirit with a score of 2-1. Next up was a battle with Movistar Riders to qualify for the Roobet Cup 2023 play-offs, which ended 2-0 in favour of Vp, a solid 2-0.

Vp Mapple

The best map for Vp remains Ancient, where Vp won 3 maps out of 3 played. The most played map is Overpass, where Vp have played 11 maps and won 9 of them.

In the pool there is a good Anubis (3-1 on maps), Mirage (6 wins in 9 matches) and Inferno (7 wins in 11 games).

The worst choice for vp is Vertigo. It has 44% wins with 9 matches.

OG Form

We continue our match review with an analysis of OG's match form. In this match they will play as an outsider, with odds to win around 3.

The 55th team of the world ranking cannot boast of big wins. OG have played a lot of places during the season, but there are no results at all.

Among the most high-profile ones - 7th place on BLAST.tv European RMR A and passage to the Major tournament, but failure directly in Paris. At the actual Paris Major 2023 the club took TOP-22.

Among the A Crossovers, we can mention only Brazy Party. The commercial tournament ended for OG at the stage of TOP-4, which was the best result for the whole year.

Before IEM Cologne 2023, OG failed to qualify for the last chance at Gamers8, and finished in the top 12 at BLAST Premier: Fall 2023 Groups.

• OG lineup: nexa, F1KU, FASHR, k1to, regali .

The latest replacements in the form of FASHR, k1to and Regali joining the team a month ago are not paying off yet. The Frenchman and the German have ratings below 0.89 and 0.94 and this is the worst among the team, which, however, does not shine with bright personalities.

Despite the dismal statistics of the players in recent months, in the first match against 9INE OG looked good, although they failed to get the win. They lost to the Poles on Overpass with a score of 17-19.

Cologne itself did not end well for the Europeans. OG lost to NaVi in the last chance set, and then prematurely left the championship.

After failing at a major event, OG took to playing everything. Mostly small tournaments: CCT Online Finals #2, CCT East Europe Series #1, Pinnacle Cup V, IEM Sydney 2023 qualifiers, Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2, CCT Online Finals #3 with BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023 and CCT North Europe Series #8. I purposely didn't separate these andVent and lumped them together, as the OGs were dissolving everywhere on them.At best it was top 6, like the qualifiers for IEM Sydney, and on average it was top 8.

In general, Roobet Cup 2023 can be assessed as a real chance for OG to show something in the second half of the year. So far there are prospects for that, as OG came out of a rather difficult Group D, where they left behind Fnatic and NiP.

OG Mappool

The only map where OG have won in the last 3 months is Mirage. They had a win against BIG, but 2 losses later.

They tried to make something up on Inferno and Ancient, but they lost twice there, and then there was Overpass and also a loss.

History of head-to-head meetings

Previously the teams met each other during CCT 2023 Online Finals 2. At that time, Vp celebrated a 2-1 victory.

Predicted result of Vp vs OG at Roobet Cup 2023

Despite the nominal disparity between the teams in terms of their playing conditions, I still expect this match to be roughly even. I think OG will be able to squeeze at least a card, despite Vp's solid play in this championship.

Bottom line: +1.5 on OG.
