Match Prediction: Espada - Virtus.pro | CS2 (CS:GO)
LOOT.BET Season 8Apparently, LOOT.BET Season 8 became the continuation of the RMR championship for teams from the CIS. So in the semifinals of the tournament four teams from the region will play, the quartet to which the Portuguese from sAw got. But if they play against Gambit, then Espada and Virtus.pro will face off in the second semi-final. This means that the time has come to get to know the bands better.
Espada Form
The Russian team lacked one victory to reach the playoffs of IEM New York 2020 CIS. But Espada was not upset and decided to conquer the open spaces of LOOT.BET Season 8. Starting the tournament with a defeat from Nemiga (0: 2), the team quickly found the necessary formula for victories over HellRaisers (2: 0), Apeks (2: 1) and AGF (2: 0).
Having reached the 1/8 finals, Espada met with the Danes again. This time, the Russians had a harder time, but the final victory with a score of 2: 1 ensured the team a pass to the quarterfinals, where GODSENT was waiting for it. In the match with the representative of the TIER-1 scene, Espada showed a real will to win, beating the Europeans (2: 0).
Espada card pool:
- Dust 2 - 100% wins.
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Mirage - 62% wins.
But in this game we will clearly miss Vertigo, which is not played by the Russian team.
Virtus.pro kits
The Bears became the best in the IEM New York 2020 CIS, leaving not the lot of every opponent. Then VP went to Europe to fight the representatives of the TIER-2 scene. First, it's worth saying a few words about Betway Nine to Five 5, where Virtus.pro won three matches before disappointing fans with a sensational defeat to K23 (0: 2). However, it was clear from the meeting that VP was simply ditching the tournament, leaving strength for LOOT.BET Season 8 and the fast FLASHPOINT 2.
The Bears started their way to the playoffs of LOOT.BET Season 8 with a confident victory over Wisla Krakow (2: 0). Next, the team defeated compatriots from forZe with the same score, making their way to the semifinals.
Best Virtus.pro cards:
