Prediction on match CS2 Vitality - Imperial Esports

Vitality and Imperial Esports will meet as part of the opening round of IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage. Here, specifically, I have no doubt that the Brazilian team, despite the home stands, will be defeated, and certainly devastating.

Yes, Vitality recently failed to show itself at BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, somehow losing to Astralis. However, the wards of zonic clearly did not give their best, as apEX personally stated.

In general, I don’t really count on Imperial Esports, and the team itself seems ridiculous to me. Excuse me, but your coach doesn’t bring the layouts into the game at all - what can we say. So here we are considering a completely logical scenario with an easy victory for Vitality.

Form Vitality

The first team in the world ranking managed to win ESL Pro League Season 16, where they did not suffer a single defeat. However, further on, the Danish-French team slowed down a bit, performing at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B.

There Vitality managed to find a defeat from BIG, and also did not get involved in the fight for a slot in the "legends". From a very fresh team, the team took part in BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, where, after a tight victory over TYLOO, there was an unexpected defeat from Astralis.

In general, the wards of zonic have slowed down a little over the past month, but they should pick up again by the main tournament. And with such an opponent it will be nice to play in your favor.

Vitality's latest results:

• Victory over Monte with a score of 16:7.
• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over TYLOO with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by Astralis with a score of 1:2.

Best Vitality cards:

• Vertigo - 86% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 78% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 60% win rate.
• Inferno - 58% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

Let's not forget that the Danish-French team continues to refuse the Ancient map.

The nineteenth team in the world ranking became the second in the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2022, having suffered two defeats from paiN Gaming. Then the Brazilian team went to the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR, where they hung in the balance many times.

And yet, Imperial Esports, despite all its obvious failures, managed to issue a series of four victories in a row. And yet the sediment remained, and the team did not make the proper impression.

Well, quite recently, the Brazilians played at the Flow FiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals, where they showed nothing again and again lost to paiN Gaming. So from a team that sits only with a hologram of the coach, I definitely do not expect anything special.

Imperial Esports latest results:

• Victory over Nouns with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over paiN Gaming with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Isurus with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by paiN Gaming with a score of 1:2.

Best Imperial Esports cards:

• Overpass - 89% of wins.
• Inferno - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.

It is noteworthy that the Brazilians do not play on the Ancient map either.

Prediction for Vitality vs Imperial Esports match

I don't understand how anyone in their right mind can look in the direction of Imperial Esports. Yes, the Brazilian team will play at home in front of their fans. But after all, fnx will not speak from this, and youth cannot be returned.

In turn, now Vitality is considered one of the favorites to win, and against the backdrop of the decline of the former leaders, these guys can shoot. Well, I would start to forget about Imperial Esports.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Vitality team with Handicap in rounds (-4.5).
