Прогноз на матч CS2 Virtus.pro - Team K23

At exactly 15:00 Moscow time, the IEM New York 2020 CIS will start - the third RMR tournament for teams from the CIS. And in the opening match of the entire championship, two extremely interesting teams will meet - Virtus.pro and K23.

Virtus.pro kits

A year ago, this roster, albeit with Adren, took second place at the Major in Berlin, and a little later won BLAST Pro Series Moscow 2019. However, in December, there was a turning point for the entire team - the AWANGAR lineup was bought by Virtus.pro for more than a million dollars. Since then, a series of failures began, which continues for the team to this day.

“Bears”, having made one significant change in the composition, are now in 28th place in the world ranking. Moreover, we have not seen VP in the first rank tournaments for a long time. After failures in the framework of IEM Katowice 2020 and ESL Pro League Season 11 Europe, the team found consolation in a series of minor competitions.

And yet the results had to wait until September, when Virtus.pro took third place in Nine to Five 4, and then successfully qualified for the closed qualifier for FLASHPOINT 2.

In the RMR standings, things are not going well. In case of failure at the IEM New York 2020 CIS, the team risks completely flying past Brazil, if the Major ever takes place in Rio.

Form K23

A few months ago, the organization Syman Gaming decided to revive the once eminent K23 clantag, renaming its line. However, this did not add to the results, and today the Kazakh team is only on the 40th line of the world rating.

And the team has nothing to boast of, the recent victory in the Altel Cyber Games Season 2 is the main achievement. But the team is confidently looking ahead, because in a successful scenario, it can still qualify for a trip to Brazil.

Personal meetings statistics

On the account of the teams there are only two face-to-face meetings, and even those took place at the end of the spring segment. Nevertheless, the advantage is on the side of Virtus.pro, which won two matches out of two with the same score - 2: 0. And today, given the class of players, "bears" look much more preferable than their compatriots.

Virtus.pro game prediction - K23

All things considered, VP is the favorite for the upcoming game. For this reason, I propose to bet on Virtus.pro to win with 1.35 odds. Of course, the most reckless of you can take the risk by opting for VP's defeat. And in this case, there is a great chance not to miscalculate - the coefficient 2.05 speaks for itself.
