Match Prediction: Vitality - Virtus.pro | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Winter 2021Vitality and Virtus.pro will meet in the semifinals of IEM Winter 2021. Yes, the CIS team will have one more day of rest, but taking into account the already long break, this will not play any role. At the same time, I will continue to insist that the French are not doing so well with their playing conditions, which was shown by the last two cards against Gambit.
Vitality Form
The second team of the world rankings got off to a good start at IEM Winter 2021, beating MOUZ and NIP. However, the French still lost to G2 and advanced to the quarterfinals. Here the team showed very strong play on Dust 2, declassing Gambit. However, on Vertigo, the team was simply outplayed, giving up full control over the ramp position. With this Vitality could not do anything, naturally leaving for a desider. And yet the French turned out to be stronger, having managed to pull their nerves with a given comeback.

Virtus.pro kits
The seventh world ranked team got off to a great start at IEM Winter 2021 with three wins. What is the strong-willed comeback on Mirage against GODSENT? After this, Virtus.pro are obliged to squeeze all the juice out of themselves, as it seems to show a stable game, rarely taking risks. And it seems to me that this style, coupled with the aggression from YEKINDAR, can backfire on the French.
Recent Virtus.pro results:
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 1: 2.

At the same time, VP invariably picked the Inferno card.
Forecast for the match Vitality - Virtus.pro
Gambit showed VP how to play against the French on Vertigo - give ramp and retake when reaching the point, limiting the opponent to 1v1 shootouts. But I strongly doubt that the CIS team will be worthy of choosing a map convenient for the opponent. In any case, Virtus.pro's game is now much more interesting and reliable than the team that has Kyojin in its roster. Therefore, here I propose to play it safe and bet on Forum (+1.5) for the Virtus.pro team.
