Forudsigelse på match CS2 Virtus.pro - 9z

Virtus.pro and 9z will meet in the first semi-final of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. In general, it is surprising that both teams will play here, with the Bears managing to pick up two wins in the group.

As for the Latin American squad, it seems that they bounced back in the group stage with an unbeaten comeback at Nuke against ECSTATIC.

In any case, it's hard to believe in 9z here, as the Latin Americans, although they have started to gain momentum, are still hard to beat. Therefore here I would place my bets on Virtus.pro team winning.

Virtus.pro form

The 22nd ranked team in the world failed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, which was the starting point for the subsequent changes, comebacks and re-starts - you can call them by different names.

Moreover, after the return, Virtus.pro failed at the BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023, where they did not approach at all and were defeated by 1WIN in the quarterfinals.

However, in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, the Russian team even managed to surprise as they beat Party Astronauts first and then unexpectedly dealt with ENCE.

Virtus.pro's latest results:

• Defeat to Into the Breach with a score of 13-16.
• Defeat at the hands of MOUZ by a score of 0-2.
• Defeat at the hands of 1WIN by a score of 0-2.
• 16-13 win over Party Astronauts.
• Defeat ENCE 19-17.

Top scores for Virtus.pro:

• Ancient - 25% wins.
• Mirage - 25% wins.

It is worth recalling that the Russian team has consistently failed to play on the Nuke map.

Form 9z

The 29th ranked team in the world recently played in IEM Dallas 2023, where they even managed to beat fnatic, but still Ledgege to Heroic and OG, logically dropping out of the championship.

At the same time, the Latin American team marked a victory at ESEA Cash Cup Circuit Season 1 Cup 8 North America, where they even outplayed Complexity Gaming.

As for the performance in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023, here 9z got victories over paiN Gaming and ECSTATIC, but also managed to suffer a defeat from FORZE.

In turn, the Latin American team gives up maps Vertigo.

Virtus.pro - 9z encounter statistics

The teams met only once last season, with Virtus.pro winning 16-14 at ESL Challenger February 2022.

Forecast for the match Virtus.pro - 9z

I don't know, but I have a feeling the Latin American team will have to pull out. At the beginning of the championship it seemed that Virtus.pro will not be able to do anything, but suddenly the team decided to play and find themselves.

In general, the Russian team is still a cause for concern, but judging by the game in the group, the guys themselves want to show themselves. In turn, 9z do not attract anything so far, and in fact the Latin Americans could leave yesterday.

Therefore, in this case I would recommend betting on Virtus.pro to win.
