Virtus.pro and Spirit will compete for the right to advance to PGL Major Stockholm 2021 Legends. And if one team becomes more and more interesting with each match, then Virtus.pro showed itself from a bad side in the game against FaZe Clan. And yet the "bears" can count on the fight, since on the map Inferno they must take their own.
Virtus.pro kits
The 12th team in the world ranking closed the first day of PGL Major Stockholm 2021 with two victories, moreover, strong-willed. However, in their first BO3, the team screwed up. And okay, Ancient, with whom everything was clear in advance, but to start like this on Mirage - you have to try. And Virtus.pro's B plant is still holding weak. In any case, the team's problem is the lack of teamwork, which can only be prevented by shooting (which is often lacking).
Recent Virtus.pro results:

Best Virtus.pro cards:
- Vertigo - 78% wins.
- Overpass - 57% wins.
- Inferno - 57% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
It is clear that the team will not leave Nuke. At the same time, the team is doing too badly on Ancient.
Spirit form
The 20th team in the world rankings, as expected, lost in the first round of PGL Major Stockholm 2021, although we must admit that FaZe Clan is on fire. However, the team was very lucky with rivals in the future, since GODSENT and TYLOO are real meat. As a result, the "dragons" scored two easiest victories, at the same time getting a real chance to get into the "Legends". Another thing is that Spirit is still doing badly with Inferno.
Recent results Spirit:
- Victory over 9z with a score of 2: 0.
- Lost to FunPlus Phoenix with a 1: 2 score.
- Lost to FaZe Clan with a score of 11:16.

Best Spirit Cards:
- Dust 2 - 75% wins.
- Nuke - 70% wins.
- Mirage - 56% wins.
- Ancient - 50% wins.
- Overpass - 50% wins.
At the same time, the team continues to suffer from the game on Inferno. And do not forget about the permanent ban of the Vertigo card.

Prediction for the match Virtus.pro - Spirit
I have no doubt that the teams will pick Inferno and Dust 2, that is, their strongest cards. This factor, as well as the history of the meetings, gives me the right to rely on a tough fight. And let's not forget that there are two teams from the CIS who know each other thoroughly. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Card Total.
