G2 and Vitality will compete for the right to reach the grand final of BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022. As in the case of the first semi-final, this couple has already met each other at the start of the championship. But if in that case I willow in revenge, then here again G2 must defeat the unstable French and Danes, who still seem to be passengers.
Based on the previous meeting, I do not believe that G2 will again fail on Dust 2, because of which Vitality will have to reconsider their approach to choosing maps. Otherwise, everything should remain the same, since both teams play plus or minus on the same maps.
Speaking in fact, after the victory over FaZe Clan, the “samurai” pulled themselves up morally, since such clutches inspire confidence. Well, with the Danish-French team, everything is clear to me, and I do not believe in the second sensational victory in a row.
Form G2
The eighth team of the world ranking recently competed at IEM Dallas 2022, where it reached the quarterfinals. There, the team played terribly with FURIA, as a result of which they left the championship.
Now the team is back with renewed vigor, having won two victories in the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022. Moreover, both meetings started for G2 with losses on the first maps, but the team managed to show character.
But if the victory over Vitality looked logical, then almost no one expected the recent triumph over FaZe Clan. However, after such a sensation, the team has even more chances to seize the opportunity and reach the grand final. Moreover, Vitality is not the kind of opponent you can take and lose.
G2 can only be hindered by a large number of errors, which, of course, will be. But the wards of zonic do not mind giving up a couple of rounds, which the “samurai” are well aware of.

- Ancient - 25% win rate
At the same time, we understand that the team will definitely refuse the Overpass map.
Form Vitality
The tenth team in the world ranking seems to be failing in the new season, barely managing to beat MOUZ and similar rivals. Moreover, at the last IEM Dallas 2022, the Danish-French team did not show anything, taking off from the group stage.
However, at BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022, the team is still jumping above its head. Yes, at the start of the championship, Vitality lost to G2, and to the point. Further, the team managed to compete with paiN, losing on the Dust 2 0 map in general.
But who would have thought that the team would be able to go beyond the quarterfinals. It turned out that many were wrong, as zonix wards slammed ENCE, showing a little bit of character and a little more confidence than before.
However, I still do not believe in the future of Vitality, which, under pressure, will again make mistakes and give up their rounds. Moreover, in the last game with ENCE, the team had all the same problems, but the opponent himself gave the victory.
Vitality's latest results:
- Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
- Lost to G2 with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over paiN with a score of 2:1.

- Mirage - 50% of wins.
- Nuke - 38% of wins.
At the same time, the Danish-French team continues to refuse the Ancient map.
G2 meeting statistics - Vitality
As part of the current season, the teams held three meetings:
- Vitality's victory at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022 with a score of 2:1.
- G2 victory at IEM Dallas 2022 with a score of 2:0.
- G2's victory at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 with a score of 2:1.
I note that in all cases the teams played Dust 2 and Inferno.
Prediction for the match G2 — Vitality
Well, what can be added here? I do not believe in a possible revenge, because Vitality is too dependent on the inclusion of the Danish duo, which plays every other time. It is clear that the victory over ENCE looks strong, but the Danish-French team did not prove itself at a distance.
In turn, G2 is initially in a winning position, because: 1) has already defeated Vitality in this tournament; 2) shows more stable results in recent weeks; 3) stronger individually and more likely to catch mistakes.
All this in total gives a reason to consider Vitality an outsider of the upcoming fight. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the G2 team.
