Match forudsigelse: 9z - Vitality | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Dallas 2024Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to look at what's happening at IEM Dallas 2024. And there is a group stage in full swing, where the fate of 6 slots in the play-offs is determined.
In Group A we already have the names of two participants of the main stage. They are Vitality and 9z Team, who will now have a face-to-face clash for seeding in the main stage.
We are trying to find out how the match between 9z Team and Vitality will end and who will advance to the second round of the play-offs.
Let's go.
Vitality Form
We open the breakdown of the match Vitality - 9z Team with a review of Vitality's playing form. "Bees" in this match will play the first number one with odds to win at around 1.19.
The first half of the 2023 season has been a real treat for Vitality. It started with a win at the Blast Premier Spring Groups and a top-6 finish at the top IEM Katowice 2023 and ESL Pro League Season 4. Next was Top 3 at European RMR B and triumph at the most domestic Major e - BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. After winning the Paris Major e Vitality took the top 2 at the spring finals of BLAST, Ledge and Heroic in the grand finals.
The last tournament before IEM Katowice was BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023. There Vitality showed a worse result than expected, with the top 6 in the end.
- Vitality lineup: apEX, ZywOo, mezii, Spinx, flameZ.
After the triumphant Paris Major a Vitality said goodbye to Dupreeh, and flameZ took his place. The "newcomer" Vitality has already had time to adapt and looks good: the young Israeli has KDA 1.09 and this is the third result of the team. He, by the way, started his ascent on the big stage with OG.
In their debut match at IEM Cologne 2023, Vitality only confirmed their status as one of the main favourites in Group B. OG tried, but were defeated 16-6 by Mirage and 16-13 by Anubis.
After defeating OG, Vitality took on MOUZ, who were dealt an even bigger blow by the Bees, 16-4 and 16-5.
In the match for seeding in the play-offs Vitality met another top club - G2 Esports. A nerve-wracking game where Vitality pulled out a 19-17 win on Inferno in the extra time, but then lost 10-16 to Vertigo and 8-16 to Mirage.
Starting the play-offs from the first round stumbled Cloud9. "Cloud9 tried to fight back and almost succeeded on the second map, but ZywOo and company were undeterred: 16-11 Mirage and 19-17 Inferno. However, this was the end of Vitality's stay at the tournament: they met ENCE in the semi-finals and lost with 1-2 score and dropped out of the championship.
The top 4 at IEM Cologne did not embarrass Vitality at all, on the contrary - it fuelled them. Before the end of the year they pocketed 3 more wins at title tournaments: they took revenge on ENCE in the Gamers8 Grand Final and beat FaZe twice at BLAST tournaments (Fall Final 2023 and World Final 2023).
Before playing at PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024: European RMR B played BLAST Premier: Spring Groups, where they passed the group stage without any problems and at IEM Katowice 2024, where they failed very unexpectedly, finishing top-12.
At the PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024: European RMR B Vitality stomped GamerLegion and Heroic without any problems, giving up a total of 5 rounds in two maps. And then it was worse - a loss by C9, but a win over ENCE allowed Vitality to reach the Major.
Vitality attended the first Major tournament of the season - PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024, where they managed to reach Top 4, but Ledge and FaZe Clan. Later they played at ESL Pro League Season 19, where they again started very cheerfully and easily made it to the grand finals, but there they were swept by MOUZ.
At the IEM Dallas 2024 Long Season they started with a very hard win over Monte, and then they closed G2 Esports dry.
Vitality Mappool
Vitality's best map is Nuke. There are 4 matches and 4 wins.
Anubis (7 matches, 85% wins), Mirage (4 matches, 75% wins) are very good. In general, Vitality doesn't have any bad cards that they play. Vertigo - 71% wins in 7 matches, Inferno and Overpass - 3 wins in 5 matches.
Ancient is not being played.
9z Team Form.
Let's continue the analysis of 9z Team vs Vitality match with the analysis of 9z Team's form. Here they will have to play the second number with the position of catching up.
The Argentine club spent the whole year on all kinds of championships. Mostly it was regional tournaments like CCT South America, where in one of the championships 9Z Team took the top 1.
They have also made appearances at prestigious international events. For example, in March this year they visited Intel Extreme Masters Dalls 2023, where they even managed to beat Fnatic, but still didn't make it past the group stage and finished in the top 12.
- 9Z Team: dgt, max, buda, HUASOPEEK, Martinez.
Prior to the ESL Pro League Season 18, the Argentinians played at a number of "medium" level championships. These were CCT North Europe Series 7, where 9Z Team finished in the top 16 and Thunderpick World Championship 2023: Europe, where the team finished in the top 8.
At ESL Pro League Season 18, 9Z managed to qualify for the play-offs by going the longest way possible - the last chance grid. 9Z got there by losing to FaZe in the beginning and then to Imperial. Then a very solid comeback at the bottom: a clean win against M80 and Apeks and a 2-1 win against 5cyclone. However, it failed to get any further than the top 12.
In the 2024 season, 9z never gave up trying to play wherever they could. This was the case at the qualifiers for Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2024: SA, PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: SA Qualifier and ESL Pro League Season 19: SA Qualifier.
Among the big tournaments where 9z made their mark were IEM Chengu 2024, where they finished top-16, Global Esports TOur Rio de Janeiro 2024 with top-6. There were also smaller championships, such as RES Latin American Series #4 with TOP-2 and CBCS Season 4 with TOP-2.
9z Team unexpectedly showed their best side at IEM Dallas 2024. The Argentines beat MOUZ in the first round and then beat Team Liquid to earn a slot in the play-offs.
Mappul 9Z Team
The Argentinians' best map is Inferno. 9Z have played there 11 times and have a statistic of 8-3. Next comes Nuke (8-4) and Ancient (4-2).
Things are not much worse on Mirage and Overpass. On the former, which is true, only 3 games, but 2-1, but on Overpass it's already 5-3.
Neutral map is Anubis. 9Z has a score of 2-2 there.
They do not play on Vertigo.

Previously the teams have not played each other in official matches.
Predicted result of the match 9z Team - Vitality
IEM Dallas 2024 surprises and very seriously. Especially 9z Team, which has already exceeded the expectations of many. However, no matter how good 9z Team looks now, I don't think they will be strong enough to fight against VItality.
Bottom line: Vitality wins with a score of 2-0.
