Match Prediction: G2 Esports - Vitality | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR BG2 and Vitality will play in a separate part of the final round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B. The winner will go to play Monte for a place in the Legends, while the loser will take fifth place but still go to the majors.
Given how shaky Vitality looks, and how quickly G2 is coming around, one ZywOo is definitely not enough. Moreover, the Danish-French collective often takes out dead situations, but the Samurai don't mind taking a dead round themselves.
All in all, I wouldn't reinvent the wheel. So it's worth looking out for a logical win for the G2 team here.
G2's form
The first team in the world rankings actually failed in the recent ESL Pro League Season 17, where they showed nothing and sidelined ENCE already in the quarterfinals.
As for Long Converge on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, here G2 managed to lose to 9INE, but further managed to pass iNation and Aurora Gaming.
The day before, the Samurai managed to shut out Cloud9. But most importantly, the European team looked really ready, which could be a factor in their next success.

Let's not forget that the European squad is still not playing on the Overpass map.
Vitality shape
The sixth ranked team in the world managed to shoot in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17 where they scored three good wins and went straight to the quarterfinals.
However, in the play-offs, the Danish-French squad was lost, as they had nothing better to do than lose their game to ENCE already in the quarterfinals.

G2 - Vitality encounter statistics
Last season, the teams played eight meetings, exchanging four victories. However, it must be said that the last game ended in a victory for G2.
Forecast for G2 vs Vitality
Looking at the match, we see a roughly even playing field. However, at some points, G2 is ahead in that they can adjust to their opponent in a surprising way.
That's exactly what happened the day before, when the Samurai took out Cloud9 on Vertigo. Do I expect something similar from Vitality. I don't think so. Moreover, the Danish-French collective comes with some creaking as they bounce back in places.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a G2 team win.
