The Ukrainian club won CCT West Europe Series #2, ESL Challenger League Season 44: Europe and CCT Central Europe Series #5, earning a total of $64,000 in prize money.

Further successful performances at CCT series tournaments in May pale before the participation of Ukrainians in the only and the last Major tournament of this year on CS:GO - BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. The team sensationally reached the Champions stage and lost to GamerLegion in the quarter-finals of the tournament with a score of 0:2.

Predicted result of the match Team Vitality - Monte
Monte are progressing well and have gone far enough in this tournament, but ZywOo and Team Vitality are an impassable test for the Ukrainian team. Let's bet on the victory of Team Vitality.
Vitaliti finally meet Monte's team in 1/4, you can get old while this tournament is going on. It's a sad league in general, and a bit frivolous in some places. This is due, of course, to the release of KS2, but it happened and coincided. I'll have to see how many people play on the half-poh, plus everyone is already in full training the new jig. Some, like Faze, have either stopped playing altogether, or have given up on this version of the game.
Monte is a beauty, but Complexity didn't pull that trick once again, to get the defence on anubis. And the match was severely disrupted by the update, which by the way could also affect the result.
Vitaliti's team went through the group stage making 6:0 and bumped here in 1/4. It's no secret that this team is now maximally strong and dangerous, no matter who to play with and where. There's nothing more to chew on here, and it's clear to the cow.
Bucs estimate the victory at 1.20 approximately, with the score 2:0 - 1.70. In general, given the history of meetings, the form of the Vitkas and Monte's controversial opponents, this is where it's going. But that bloody Anubis doesn't let me rest. After all, really Monte can be taken, he plays very well, with fire, with soul. Plus Vitaliti are actively training KS2 now, and Anubis is average.
I'll try to hang on to this moment and believe in SDuvai and the team, come on guys! +1.5 on Monte for a great 2.15.
2023-09-28 16:25] Vitality - Monte The match of the 1/4 finals of the esl pro league tournament for the prize money of 850 000$. The match is crucial for both teams, because the loser goes home - departs from the tournament.
Vitaliti have not played for 3 weeks, and now go with a stream of 7 wins. I think before the esl pro league they are tightly prepared and now they go as a dark horse, but given the fact that Vitaliti - the best team of ks go, I think the guys are ready.Especially there was time to watch demo monte and prepare for them.Monte play not bad, but still there are holes in the defence and when attacking make a lot of mistakes, and Vitaliti does not forgive mistakes.
In head-to-head meetings Vitaliti lead 4-0 on cards, Monte always lost to them, because the best card of Monte is Enchant, and Vitaliti don't play it - they ban it. So monte is a convenient opponent for vitaliti.
Vitaliti now go in 1st place according to the site hltv.Monte go to 13th place on the statistics site hltv.
Vitaliti came in 1/4 right out of the group, and now they have rested for 3 weeks.Monte played from 1/16 and now the guys have 2 wins. Guys played 6 cards, and I think for today's game they just do not have enough strength and strategies.

Vitaliti are the best team right now and it will be extremely difficult to beat them, because the guys of the French collective have everything. The best sniper(zayvu), lurker(areh) who reads the map. And they're also tough players. Monte's a bit of a squeeze on the navi squad. And given that they played 6 maps, the guys will now have a slump in the game due to the lack of new strategies.
In the end, I'll bet a win in the Vitaliti match without risks, taking into account the head-to-head meetings, Monte have already gone too far, it's time to go home)Victory to all!
