Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - Renegades | CS2 (CS:GO)

Virtus.pro and Renegades will meet at the decisive stage of the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, defining another participant in the main championship. But we have to admit that VP was very lucky with an opponent, so the team almost guaranteed itself a place at IEM Katowice 2021.

Virtus.pro kits

The fifth team of the world ranking a few weeks ago became the winner of cs_summit 7, beating many serious rivals without losing a single map. After that, the team went to the playoffs Snow Sweet Snow 1, where they beat only Endpoint (2: 0). However, VP's winning streak ended there, as the team failed to cope with Gambit in the semifinals (1: 2).

Nevertheless, at the start of IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, the team managed to cope with Wisla Krakow (16:10), getting a chance to advance to the main tournament. But VP did not take advantage of this very chance, having miraculously lost to NiP (0: 2). And now you have to start from zero.

Best Virtus.pro cards:

• Dust 2 - 78% wins.
• Inferno - 73% wins.
• Train - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 64% wins.
• Overpass - 57% wins.

At the same time, the team has not played Nuke for a long time. Nevertheless, in the conditions of this meeting, the team does not care which map to play on, since the statistics speaks for itself.

Renegades form

The Australians had a very convincing start in the IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In, almost beating mousesports (14:16). At this point, I managed to think that the team is ready for a sensation. However, the meeting with Team One showed that Renegades does not yet deserve a place at IEM Katowice 2021. And even though the team beat Team One (2: 1), the quality of the game leaves much to be desired.

Best Renegades cards:

• Dust 2 - 100% wins.
• Overpass - 100% wins.

However, the rest of the cards remain a mystery. And you shouldn't look at the bare numbers, given the team's annual absence on European soil.

Prediction for the match Virtus.pro - Renegades

I believe that the question of the winner of the meeting is closed. At the same time, we should understand what exactly to expect from VP, which, as a favorite, should close this meeting. It is clear that Renegades can fight, but VP is unlikely to want to bring fans to a nervous breakdown by making stupid mistakes. Therefore, I am sure that the team will approach the meeting in full readiness, from which I propose to bet on the victory of Virtus.pro with a score of 2: 0, which is estimated with a coefficient of 1.50.
