paiN and Vitality will fight for the right to get into the playoffs of BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022. In turn, the losing team will leave the championship, since there are simply no more slots.
I won't say that Vitality somehow managed to surprise me, having managed to show itself only on the Dust 2 map. There is nothing to say about the Brazilian team, since they lost to FaZe Clan without a chance.
To be honest, I'm a little scared for the wards of zonic, who recently simply cannot find their game. And it's scary because paiN, in theory, can ult. But I'd rather be fools and play logically than once again believe in a card from a team from a frankly weak region.
Pain form
The 25th team in the world ranking qualified for the current championship in Lisbon thanks to the victory at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 North America. Yes, the Brazilians managed to upset MIBR and FURIA at that tournament, which, frankly, is impressive.
Then the team began to knead the clay at their TIER-2 championships, in particular, by playing in the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 41 North America. At the same time, paiN got six wins in seven meetings, which, if you do not take into account the level of competition, looks good.
As for the start at BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022, paiN showed a good attack on Ancient, after which there was an absolutely unprincipled defense. About Inferno and should not be remembered at all, since the team was frankly driven there.
Now it will be a little easier for the Brazilian team, since Vitality is far from FaZe Clan. However, I have this notorious regional difference in my head, because now there is simply no competition in North America.
pain's latest results:
- Defeat from GODSENT with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over ONET4P with a score of 16:6.
- Victory over Gaimin Gladiators with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Carpe Diem with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.
The best payN cards:
- Nuke - 78% of wins.
- Ancient - 75% of wins.
- Vertigo - 72% of wins.
- Overpass - 71% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
- Inferno - 56% of wins.
- Mirage - 44% of wins.
It is likely that the Brazilian team will once again refuse the Mirage map, where it fails at all.
Form Vitality
The tenth team in the world ranking right now is in a deplorable state. Personally, I'm already tired of repeating how bad things are for the Danish-French team.
It can be seen that Vitality hasn't been able to come to a common variant for half a year, having failed to find a compromise between the discipline of the Danes and the impulsive style of apex.
There are also constant crashes with big championships, on a par with defeats from rivals from the TOP-10. So, at the recent IEM Dallas 2022, the team failed to reach the playoffs, as I recall, having obtained only two victories over Astralis and MOUZ.
As for the start of BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022, Vitality has already managed to lose to G2, standing out only on the Dust 2 map. Well, then there was a carnival of mistakes, lost clutches and rounds given to pistols.
Vitality's latest results:
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 16:12.
- Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.
- 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.
Best Vitality cards:
- Dust 2 - 64% of wins.
- Inferno - 56% of wins.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
- Mirage - 46% of wins.
- Overpass - 33% of wins.
- Nuke - 17% win rate
At the same time, the Danish-French team continues to refuse the Ancient map.

Prediction for the match paiN — Vitality
It is difficult to say something intelligible about the game of the Brazilian team. However, against the background of FaZe Clan, he looked generally unprincipled, just crawling around the map and trying to look for errors, which simply did not exist.
Moreover, Vitality's situation is no better, as the team continues to make stupid mistakes and stumble upon a lack of normal coordination in actions.
However, in this case, it is worth remembering the very difference between the regions. And if in Europe the Danish-French team can still lose, then against the background of the Brazilians it will be much easier for them to realize their ideas.
To sum up, I just can't believe in paiN, which was too tight in the first game. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Vitality team with a score of 2:0.
Although in this case it is better to catch the Handicap in rounds on the first and second maps and catch up on Vitality.
