Match Prediction: Monte - Vitality | Counter-Strike (CS2)
BLAST Paris Major 2023Monte and Vitality will play in the third round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. In this case, the winner will go to the play-offs, while the loser will seek his chance in the next round.
It is interesting that Monte managed to close the first day with two victories. The Ukrainians had already played with Vitality in the RMR Tournament, but nothing came out of it.
Now, we should expect a similar story, as the Danish-French team is in good form, breaking the situation on the server. So here I would lean on the Vitality team to win.
Monte form
The 22nd ranked team in the world managed to find problems on the heels of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage where they were defeated by FaZe Clan and FORZE.
However, at the same time, the Ukrainian team defeated Fluxo, TheMongolz and paiN Gaming to slip into the Legends and even get a good seeding in spite of all the critics.
In the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the team continued to surprise as Monte managed to shut down FURIA and fnatic, creating the main sensation of the first game day in terms of result.
Monte's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over theMongolz.
- Victory over paiN Gaming with a score of 2-1.
- 2-0 win over EYEBALLERS.
- Beat FURIA 16-7.
- A 19-17 win over fnatic.
Best score of the game Monte:

- Mirage - 74% wins.
- Vertigo - 68% wins.
- Ancient - 65% wins.
- Overpass - 63% wins.
- Nuke - 59% wins.
It should be remembered that the Ukrainian squad continues to reject Inferno.
Vitality shape
The second team of the world ranking played well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they suffered only one defeat by 9INE, and after victories over G2 Esports and Monte made their way into the "legends".
Vitality also recently became the IEM Rio 2023 champion. Yes, the Danish-French team was marked by a defeat against OG, but then managed to find their game and shut absolutely everyone down along the way.
As for the Long Saugus in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, Vitality have already managed to beat G2 Esports and ENCE, which together definitely deserves respect and a place in the play-offs.
Vitality's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over BIG.
- A 2-1 win over Cloud9.
- 2-0 win over Heroic.
- 16-13 win over G2 Esports.
- 16-13 win over ENCE.
Vitality's best scores:
- Nuke - 100% wins.
- Anubis - 83% wins.
- Vertigo - 78% wins.
- Inferno - 75% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
- Mirage - 60% wins.
In turn, the Danish-French team have consistently turned down Ancient.
Meeting statistics Monte - Vitality
In the current season the teams played one meeting - on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B the victory went to Vitality (2-0).
Monte - Vitality preview
Last time the teams played Mirage and Nuke, although it makes sense that the choice might change now. Yes, the Ukrainian team has a wide selection, and in general they do unreal things.
However, Vitality are on a slight upswing at the moment, and the plus in head-to-head encounters gives you the right to believe in logic. All in all, Monte looks the clear outsider of the encounter.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a win for the Vitality team.
