Match forudsigelse: Virtus.pro - 9z | CS2 (CS:GO)

Virtus.pro and 9z will meet in a FiReLEAGUE Battle 2023 exhibition match, the winner of which will take home one hundred thousand Evergreen. It's worth mentioning that initially Virtus.pro wasn't supposed to play here, but recently Imperial Esports refused to participate.

In turn, nothing positive can be said about 9z at all, because the Latin Americans have long been stuck in their swamp. The teams played recently in Katowice, and the Bears crushed the 9z.

In general, I don't see much chance for the Latin American team, although it will play in front of a local audience. Still, here I would lean on a smashing victory for the Virtus.pro team.

Virtus.pro form

The thirteenth team of the world ranking frankly failed in the spring, in particular, having shown a terrible game in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, and with the composition messed up a lot.

What's more, the Russian team made no marks at the BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023, where they were instantly knocked out by 1WIN in the quarterfinals and went on to the next round.

However, before the break Virtus.pro managed to win ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, during which they did not suffer a single defeat, and they beat ENCE twice.

The latest results from Virtus.pro:

• A 0-2 loss to 1WIN.
• Victory over Party Astronauts by a score of 16-13.
• Victory over ENCE by a score of 19-17.
• Beat 9z 2-0.
• Beat ENCE 2-1.

Top scores for Virtus.pro:

• Inferno - 100% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.
• Ancient - 50% wins.
• Overpass - 50% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Russian team has not appeared on the Nuke map for a long time.

Form 9z

The 25th team of the world ranking missed almost all major championships in the first half of the season, but also managed to beat fnatic at IEM Dallas 2023.

At the same time, the Latin American team won the ESEA Cash Cup Circuit Season 1 Cup 8 North America, but it seems that nobody needed that tournament.

At their last ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, the team had a very disappointing showing as 9z managed to edge FORZE and Virtus.pro and miraculously made it to the play-offs.

The latest results for 9z:

• A 2-0 win over ATK.
• Victory over paiN Gaming by a score of 16-7.
• 11-16 defeat of FORZE.
• Victory over ECSTATIC by a score of 2-1.
• 0-2 defeat of Virtus.pro.

Top 9z:

• Nuke - 85% wins.
• Inferno - 80% wins.
• Ancient - 70% wins.
• Mirage - 62% wins.

In turn, the Latin American team does not show up on the Vertigo map.

In the current season, the teams have met once - Virtus.pro (2-0) won at ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.

Forecast for Virtus.pro vs 9z

As before, it is difficult to believe in the Latin American team. Yes, and practice shows that against the viscous game Virtus.pro team never has any answers.

In general, bypassing all the introductions such as the stage factor and the unknown after the break, I personally do not see the point in looking towards 9z, which is about nothing at all.

Therefore, in this case I would recommend betting on Virtus.pro's 2-0 win.
