FlyQuest vs Virtus.pro Prediction: the Bears Will Get Revenge

Prediction for the IEM Chengdu 2024 match, which will take place on April 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Grayhound Gaming is now FlyQuest. The Australian organization disbanded, and a month later, Wes Edens, the owner of Milwaukee Bucks, signed the roster.

Although Grayhound Gaming was close to reaching the majors, they lost to Lynn Vision in the deciding match. The core was considered one of the best in Oceania and consistently ranked high in local LANs. The team occasionally participated in tier-1 tournaments but achieved no high-profile results. The squad's most titled player is Dexter, who has played for MOUZ and fnatic, played with Frozen and Ropz, and has occasionally placed in the top 3 at S-class tournaments.

The Australian team was considered an outsider in the Chinese LAN tournament. However, they surprised everyone by defeating Cloud9. Although they were losing 1-6 to Ancient, the team turned the tide and won 12 rounds in a row against a participant in the playoff stage of the last major. It is unlikely that FlyQuest will be able to replicate their success against VP.

The Bears did not qualify for the playoffs of the CS2 Major, but they still managed to remain in the top 10 of the HLTV rankings. Virtus.pro finished in 9-11th place in the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 group stage. Unfortunately, Jame's dropping out of the game became a symbol of the entire tournament, which highlighted the numerous bugs and flaws in CS2. It remains to be seen if the disappointing defeat will affect Virtus.pro's mood in China.

The roster, with Fame and FL1T not in their optimal form in Denmark, struggled in the decisive match of the major against G2 Esports. However, Virtus. pro's unique slow style of play, which often makes opponents uncomfortable, was evident. Even G2 Esports, who could have lost 0:2, managed to win 2:1. In 2024, the Bears face opponents from the HLTV top 10 more often and maintain a consistent level of play.

Virtus.pro had a strong start in Group B, easily defeating their American opponents from WG and only giving up one round.

Although the Australians surprised the audience in their match against C9, the Bears are unlikely to make the same mistake. The favorite is evident and is expected to avoid any upsets.
