VP's victory at the IEM Rio Major (then called Outsiders) in November 2022 seems long ago. Failing to qualify for the BLAST Paris Major is a negative stain on their legacy, especially when you consider their decision to bench KaiR0N- in the middle of RMR in a last-ditch attempt to qualify.
Of course, on good days, Jame's tactics are still capable of leading VP to victory over the best teams in the world, but those days are becoming increasingly rare. It's unlikely that VPs with this lineup will be able to shine in a tournament, but they can easily beat anyone in an online battle. The Bears have a lot of practice now, and with every online match, they are more and more stable and approach this final as a favorite.
Monte
After an amazing performance in Paris, Monte's international squad, playing under the Ukrainian flag, took fourth place at ESL Pro League Season 18, beating Vitality, Heroic, and even teams in great shape, such as Complexity.
The selection of young players who have proven themselves in Counter-Strike 2 is inspiring and gives hope for the team's further progress. There are no veterans on the Ukrainian team who might face adaptation difficulties similar to those encountered during the transition from Source to CS:GO. It is likely that at least some of the current roster will remain relevant for a long time in the current version of the game.
Monte did not prove himself in Sydney, but online things are going great - the grand final of the Roobet Cup tournament, which has already become traditional. In the group stage, they easily beat their opponents from OG (2:0) and NIP (2:0), and in the playoffs, they beat Movistar Riders (2:0) and Aurora Gaming (2:1). Will they be able to overcome the Russian Bears?
