Forutsigelse av kamp: sAw - Virtus.pro | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 19Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The group stage matches of ESL Pro League Season 19 continue. At the same time, the matches for the play-offs continue.
Among the contenders for the main stage are Vp and sAw. It's true that both Vp and sAw are still very far from this noble goal, because both teams are in the bottom of their group and after this match someone from this two teams will leave the tournament.
We are trying to figure out who of the pair sAw - Vp will be stronger and will go further down the losers grid, and who will have to say goodbye to ESL Pro League Season 19 without even starting the tournament.
Let's go.
Virtus.pro uniforms
Let's start the match analysis with Vp's form. In this match, they play the number one with odds to win at around 1.44.
At the beginning of last year, Vp played in three TIR-A tournaments. These were BB Playlist. Urbanistic, BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, and also BB Playlist. Freeddom. At the two "home" championships from BB Vp were in the top 8, but at the European RMR everything was even less happy - top 14.
Then Vp made a breakthrough by winning at ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. The victory there allowed them to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 18.
Among the victories, CCT Online Finals #2 is also worth mentioning. They beat Team Spirit in the grand finals and earned $100,000, which is pretty good.
- Vp lineup: Jame, FL1T, fame, n0rb3r7, electronic.
Before ESL Pro League Season 18 Vp visited Gamers8, where they didn't get further than the top 8, and Dunav Party LAN, where in the grand finals they got revenge for their defeat on CCT by Spirit.
In the first match of EPL Season 18, Vp's opponent was Team Liquid. The match, as expected, ended in a full-fledged, combative Bo3 with Vp winning 2-1.
Next up, VP played G2 Esports and legitimately Ledgeili, though they fought back and took the map. The defeat sent Vp to the lower grid, where they first beat Eternal Fire and then outplayed Liquid again, thus reaching the EPL play-offs.
Vp did not manage to play in the main stage. Vp lost their first match against 9z Team, which was a rather unexpected result. At the end of the EPL S18 Vp finished in the top 16.
Things are going well at the Roobet Cup. Vp won the first match against their compatriots from Spirit with a score of 2-1. Next up was a battle with Movistar Riders to qualify for the Roobet Cup 2023 play-offs, which ended 2-0 in Vp's favour, a solid 2-0.
The Roobet Cup 2023 itself was the pulse of Vp's triumph. They beat Monte 2-1 in the grand final, earning their first major win in a long time. Later there was Thunderpick World Championship 2023, where Vp also reached the final, but failed to beat FaZe and as a result - 0-2.
Before playing at BB Dacha Vp played at ESL Challenger Winter. There they reached the top 4, losing in the semi-finals to the future champions from Monte. BB Dacha itself was a very successful event for Vp: there they reached the finals and lost to Spirit 2-3 in a close series.
Just before the BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, where Vp were partnered with BLAST, they played the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2023, where they won the championship, beating Apeks 2-0 in the grand finals.
On their way to the Group D finals, Virtus.pro defeated BIG and Cloud9. The former 2-0, the latter 2-1. In the grand final of their group at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, Vp beat BIG again and again with a score of 2-0, thus earning themselves a place at the spring finals. Next up was IEM Katowice 2024, where Vp failed, finishing in the top 20.
Vp made it to PGL CS 2 Major Copenhagen, finishing in the Top 2 at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR A. In addition, they made it to IEM Dallas 2024.
Directly at the World Championship Long Competed from the Elimination stage. First lost to Imperia, but then beat paiN and Heroic, which brought them to 2-1. Next, they lost to Eternal Fire and G2 Esports, which led to Vp's elimination from the Major tournament.
IEM China 2024 Vp are doing quite well. In the top set of Group B, they took turns beating American teams Wildcard (13-1) and then FlyQuest (2-1). In the play-offs seeding match, Vp lost to the best team in the tournament, Astralis, 2-0.
In the main stage of IEM China 2024, Vp played against G2 Esports and lost, thus finishing in the top 6 of the tournament.
In the first match of ESL Pro League Season 19 Vp faced Fnatic and, being the favourite, Ledgeili with a 1-2 score.
Vp Mapple
The best map for Vp remains Ancient, where Vp won 3 maps out of 3 played. The most played map is Overpass, where Vp has played 11 maps and won 9 of them.
In the pool there is a good Anubis (3-1 on maps), Mirage (6 wins in 9 matches) and Inferno (7 wins in 11 games).
The worst choice for vp is Vertigo. It has 44% wins with 9 matches.
Form sAw
We continue the match analysis with the Portuguese sAw form. One of the most promising teams in Long Sørpega 2024 will play as the number two with win odds around 2.7.
They started the year with qualifications for ESL Pro League Season 17: European Conference. There, they split the top 1s. Then there were two Top 4s at CCT South Europe Series #2 and OMEN WGR Challenge 2023.
There were also appearances at major championships, such as ESL Pro League Season 17. However, it was not possible to get a high result, only TOP-28, but the experience of the game.
Later sAw took the top 8 at CCT North Europe Series #4, top 4 at ESL Challenger League Season 44: Europe. In April 2023, sAw played at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, but failed to rise above the TOP-16. But they managed to do it later, at local tournaments.
This was the case at Masters League Portugal Season 11: Online, where sAw won the trophy by beating For the Win in the final. This was the case at ESL Masters Espana Season 13: Onilne Stage, ESL Masters Espana Season 13, CCT West Europe #4.
- Composition sAw: MUTiRiS, rmn, ewjerkz, story, arrozdoce.
Before taking part in CCT Online Finals #5 sAw played a lot of championships and, to be fair, they were good almost everywhere. They took top 2 at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2, CCT North Europe Series #6, Aveiro Techdays Cup 2023, Master League Portugal Season 12: Online Stage.
We also played in big tournaments, such as Thunderpick World Championship 2023, where unfortunately for us we couldn't rise above TOP-12. At the end of November we won Master League Portugal Season 12 and XL Games Clash 2023.
CCT Online Finals #5 sAw Long Sogpeg were very confident. They easily ran over Team Space in the first round of the top set, winning 2-0. What came next was more difficult.
In the second round of CCT Online Finals #5 sAw met Aurora, who were stronger than the Portuguese. The match lasted 3 maps and sAw even won the first one, but it didn't go any further and as a result Aurora reached the semi-finals winning their series 1-2.
In the match for the third round of play-offs CCT Online #5 sAw met Zero Tenacity. The Portuguese had no problems passing their vis-a-vis, closing the series with a score of 2-0. Next was the same confident victory over Red Canids, but after that - a flight to the top 6 of the tournament after a loss from 9Pandas.
Before playing at PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 Europe RMR sAw played at YaLLa Compass Fall 2023, where they finished in the top 12. Already in 2024 they qualified for PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 Europe RMR, finishing in the Top 4 of PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 European Qualifier Top 4, and also attended the local event RTP Arena Cup 2024, where they easily finished in the Top 1.
PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 sAw started as one of the favourites for the Opening Stage and at first it seemed so: they went through the first two rounds with wins, but then a disorienting defeat by C9 and a seemingly funeral defeat against paiN with a score of 0-2. In the end, sAw Ledgeili FURIA went 0-2, ignominiously leaving the first World Championship in Counter-Strike 2 history.
ESL Pro League Season 19 started with an upset loss to 3DMAX after two long maps with extra rounds on each.
Mappool sAw.
The most successful map for sAw is Nuke, where the Spaniards have 3 wins and 1 loss. Followed by Vertigo with a score of 2-1 and Ancient with a score of 3-2.
Neutral choices are Inferno and Anubis. Both maps have been played 4 times and on both maps the stats are 2-2.
The worst situation is on Overpass, where sAw have won 2 matches out of 6.
History of head-to-head meetings sAw - Vp
The teams have played each other twice in the new season. Both times Vp won, but both games were bo1 matches.
Predicted result of Vp vs sAw at ESL Pro League Season 19
In this match I'm betting on Vp. In my opinion, sAw are already out of ESL Pro League Season 19 at least morally, after their upset loss to 3DMAX. We've already seen sAw slump at times like this with their performance at PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024. I don't think the situation will change at the EPL.
Bottom line: Vp.
