Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - Astralis | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2021Virtus.pro and Astralis will meet in the quarterfinals of IEM Katowice 2021. Agree that we are watching an extremely interesting tournament in which teams from the CIS play the role of the first violin. Therefore, here I want to believe that VP will not deviate from the principles and will create a sensation again.
Virtus.pro kits
The sixth team in the world ranking started the season very strongly, having won cs_summit 7. A little later, the team experienced a slight decline, which they managed to get out of directly within the framework of IEM Katowice 2021. As a result, Virtus.pro was able to walk through the lower bracket, knocking out many strong opponents.
Recent results of the team:
- Victory over Renegades with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to Natus Vincere with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over NiP with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2: 0.
Best Virtus.pro cards:
- Inferno - 82% wins.
- Dust 2 - 80% wins.
- Vertigo - 71% wins.
- Overpass - 70% wins.
- Mirage - 70% wins.
- Train - 56% wins.
At the same time, the team has not played Nuke for a long time, which is definitely not worth waiting for in the match. Nevertheless, with such statistics, the collective is simply obliged to impose a fight on the Danes.
Astralis shape
The leader of the world rankings started the season extremely badly - a lot of unforced mistakes, problems with the moral component, lack of will to win. All this resulted in a defeat in the BLAST Premier Global Final 2020, as well as a complete failure within the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2021.
Recent results of the team:
- Victory over OG with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to BIG with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over mousesports with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1: 2.
Best Astralis cards:
- Dust 2 - 73% wins.
- Inferno - 70% wins.
- Train - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
We must not forget that the team has been banning Mirage for a long time. However, the Danes can breathe a sigh of relief - in this match we will do without Nuke.
Personal meetings statistics
The last meeting of the teams dates back to the grand final of StarLadder Major Berlin 2019. It's been a long time, isn't it?
Prediction for the match Virtus.pro - Astralis
Right now, there are big doubts that Astralis is capable of winning in only one class. Besides, when you look at the statistics, VP is not an outsider at all. And against the background of recent successes and failures, we can say for sure that it will be very difficult for the Danes. In turn, VP plays so confidently and flawlessly that there is every chance of reaching the final of the tournament. Therefore, here I propose to take a risk and bet on the victory of Virtus.pro team with 2.51 odds.
