L1ga Team vs Virtus.pro Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the match between L1ga Team and Virtus.pro which will take place on January 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

RAMZES666 team made it to the finals of the top net, but the path was not as easy as it looked on paper. In VO1 against the SIBE Team, difficulties arose on landing and, in the early midgame, against Chimera, due to fooling around at the end of the first map, the players switched off in the second. The series' outcome (2:1 victory) allowed Roman and his new teammates to be happy, but the prospects for the finals are not bright.

Why RAMZES666 will not go to BetBoom Dacha 2024? First of all, the offliner is very limited in picks. Kasane has played for Beastmaster and Lycan for over a third of his career matches. He's great on summons but fails on heroes in complex other types. Secondly, the L1ga Team matches had a lot of micro mistakes on every map. They didn't affect the results against the SIBE Team and Chimera, but higher-level opponents will punish them. Third, the players had just come out of vacation, and on the first map against Chimera, you could see twenty minutes of unsuccessful throne trips.

The current series will be a real test of the L1ga Team's mettle. Here, all the shortcomings in the team will be revealed because, in previous meetings, the opponents were inferior in class.

Virtus.pro approaches qualifications more seriously. They won against Yellow Submarine without any problems, faltered on the first map against Klim Sani4, and changed the series with two defeats. The result is the same as the L1ga Team, but the content of the games is completely different.

The Bears are averaging 14 kills per map. Squad1x ranks first in KDA (14.7), and Kiritych closes the top 3 (12.7). Fng and sayuw make 19 assists per map on average. In matches, there is maximum concentration and desire to go to Dubai for LAN-tournament.

Virtus.pro players are starting to reap the benefits of progress. No one spoke well of the Bears a year ago, but recently, they finished in the top 8 at The International 12. The players are very young and have something to prove professionally, so they take any official matches more seriously. The merit of Artyom and coach G is that the youngsters have learned to move around the map in a disciplined way and play as a team.

Virtus.pro had problems with the best teams from Eastern Europe in 2023. But only RAMZES666 and kiyotaka play in L1ga Team from those squads. Kasane freshly remembers the defeat in the desideratum at TI12. The Bears can win this match for two reasons: great motivation to go to the LAN tournament and a lack of deciders after the year's main tournament. But the RAMZES666 team should not be underestimated either - the guys could conclude the match with Chimera and adjust correctly.
