0:2 (Vitality)

Grayhound Gaming and Vitality will meet in the opening quarter-finals of the ESL Pro League Season 17 top group stage. As with the other matches, there is no intrigue here, as the Australian squad appear to be absolute passengers and will be battling Rooster for the right to not take the last spot.

As for Vitality, the team will appear before us in a slightly modified line-up, as JACKZ will appear on the server to replace dupreeh.

However, even in this form, the French team has excellent chances of an easy win, as there is nothing positive to say about Grayhound Gaming.

So here I would look out for a smashing victory for the Vitality team. It's unlikely we'll see very low values on the cards, but zonic's wards will close this fight without too much trouble - it can't be otherwise.

Grayhound Gaming Form

The 40th ranked team in the world won the ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 15 without a single defeat in the process.

Already at the beginning of the new season, the Australian squad won ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference Oceania, but failed to show anything at IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, going home with one card won against MIBR.

More recently, Grayhound Gaming won the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Oceania RMR qualifier where, however, there was no competition.

Grayhound Gaming's latest results:

A 6-16 defeat to Team Spirit.
Defeat to MIBR by a score of 1-2.
Victory over KZG by a score of 16-10.
16-6 win over Antic.

That said, the Australian squad continues to give up the Overpass card.

Vitality Form

The sixth team in the world rankings got off to a great start in the new season by winning the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023. The squad picked up three wins there, one of which came against Danes from Heroic.

Next up, Vitality headed to the group stage of IEM Katowice 2023, where they kicked off with two victories over Ninjas in Pyjamas and fnatic, settling all playoff questions in advance.

But zonic's wards didn't make it to the semifinals as they lost to Heroic first, and in the playoffs they failed to defeat Team Liquid and went home.

The latest results for Vitality:

A 2-1 win over Heroic.
Victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas 2-0.
Victory over fnatic with a score of 2-1.
Defeat to Heroic by a score of 0-2.
1-2 defeat of Team Liquid.

In turn, the French team continues to give up on the Ancient card.

Grayhound Gaming - Vitality encounter statistics

Last season, the teams played one meeting - at the IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage, Vitality (2-0) won.

Grayhound Gaming vs Vitality

I don't even know what to hang on to when considering the Australian squad. It is clear that in their region the guys are knocking everyone out, but when it comes to major championships, Grayhound Gaming loses even to MIBR.

For their part, Vitality have had a month to rectify their shortcomings. However, there is a feeling that with JACKZ, the team will add a lot of stability in the middle and in the end rounds.

Moreover, there is no intrigue here in advance, as the French team is certainly stronger than Grayhound Gaming on all maps. That's why I'd recommend betting on Vitality's 2-0 win in this one.

0:2 (Vitality)

very uneven match that vitality should take it with a wide advantage, that's why we go with the hc-1.5 vitality.

we have to take into account that vitality comes very well from its other tournaments and, due to its location in oceania, grayhound does not have many matches, it only has matches in the rmr and other very low-level tournaments that would be expected for this esl pro league, We should not have any difficulty in taking this prediction and I put hc-1.5 or vitality wins 2-0 because I am confident that vitality has everything to win, it has the level, the picks, the maps favor it and that they have no problem either inferno, nuke, ancient, most of the maps are carried by the vitality team, so we can trust, after this meeting, the grayhound team, I have no faith that they will win a match alone against their regional rival, which would be rooster, the team that lost 2-0 against faze clan today, giving the occasional surprise in some round, vitality is the favorite to win this match and favorite to win group c, they are first and with that they win the position to go directly to pla yoff with a very favorable position that suits him, so let's be patient to win this pick.
