PSG.LGD and Virtus.pro will play in the last match of the day. The fight promises to be hot, like all playoff fights in principle.
We will try to analyze the meeting and predict the winner of the meeting. Of course it will be difficult to predict the outcome of the match, but who promised otherwise?
Virtus.pro kits
Perhaps, in the case of PSG.LGD and Virtus.pro, we will also start the analysis with a “fresh team”. This is VP.
Probably, you won't surprise anyone if you call VP one of the favorites to win the entire Major. However, for some reason I have questions about this.
Yes, Virtus.pro is definitely a strong and motivated team. Yes, the individual level of the players is at the highest level.
Yes, having come to VP, young players began to tear and throw, and as a result they already know how to win two championships (EPIC League Season 2 Division 1, ESL One CIS Online Season: Upper Division). And the latest results are also quite self-evident.
Results of the last 5 matches of Virtus.pro
- Defeat Team Unique 2-0
- Defeat Extremum 2-0
- Defeat Team Spirit 2-1
- Beat NoTechies 2-0
- Defeat NaVi 2-0
All too often there are some victories. However, the main problem, as is often the case with young players, is the experience of playing in the international arena.
Before VP is the title Chinese team, which has already visited the LAN tournament this year. Add to this the almost absolute discipline of the Chinese teams in important LAN tournaments and you have the perfect opponent.
PSG.LGD Form
We have already talked about PSG.LGD. However, I am ready to do this more than once.
In general, I consider PSG.LGD to be one of the favorites of the whole championship and at least the second team in China. They have already proven their worth in the Wild Card and in the group stage.
Results of the last 5 matches PSG.LGD
- Defeat OB Esports x Neon 2-0
- Draw in the match with Vici Gaming 1-1
- Defeat Alliance 2-0
- Defeat Quincy Crew 2-0
- Lost to Thunder Predator 2-0
Even defeat by Thunder Predator seems to play into the hands of PSG.LGD. The match against the Peruvian predators showed that LGD completely and completely control their mindset and are ready to turn on only when necessary, and the match against VP is just that case.
Personal meeting history
Although in the current roster PSG.LGD and VP have not played with each other in official matches, these clubs have a rather rich history of face-to-face meetings. However, let's take a look at a couple of recent results of face-to-face meetings.
PSG.LGD have won three times in the last 5 matches. The last time the teams saw each other was almost 2 years ago, at TI9, where the Parisians won 2-0.
Match outcome
As my colleagues have already said, a lot depends on the first map. If VP can win in the opening, then there are chances for a streak.
If VP lose the first map, the chances of winning fall and are very lively. In any case, all the factors, in my opinion, speak of the victory of PSG.LGD.
Result: victory for PSG.LGD.
