The Bears made it through the group stage and into the desiderider. Virtus.pro only lost to Gaimin Gladiators and drew with LGD Gaming, nouns, and beastcoast. The situation for the team is more than fortunate, and because we managed to reach TSM in the second stage, it's excellent!
Discipline and hard work paid off. Despite the 3-5 win-loss record, Virtus.pro gave their opponents trouble on every map. Gladiators suffered in the laning phase, LGD Gaming and beastcoast couldn't get anything going against Spectre from Kiritych, and nouns won the first map of Global Team Battles on micro-moments. For the year, squad1x has evolved from a single hero pool player to a complete and versatile mid-runner who can fill the role of carry and postspace for Kiritych and Noticed. He is in the top 10 in KDA (6.46), and with Ilya they are also averaging 9 kills per map (also in the top 10). Sayuw was second in the tournament in assists, with 20 per game. Overall, Virtus.pro is second among all teams in kills (30 per map), third in creep kills (1,430), and second in team experience per minute (3,437).
The stats don't reflect the actual level of play, but it's almost as if the Bears have room for improvement in The International 12. They can get better at taking team fights and planning smokies, but even what they have now can help them outplay TSM and reach the top set of the year's main tournament!
TSM
TSM surprised everyone in Group D. They were predicted to fight with Keyd Stars for fourth place, but they outplayed Talon Esports, drew with Quest Esports and Keyd Stars, and only looked weak and helpless against Tundra Esports.
Kasane is less likely to play Summoners and more challenging to read, Bryle plays Riki, Dazzle, and Ogre Magi - very unconventional characters.TSM's very unique meta confuses opponents. However, the team's designs are exciting. According to the past failures, it's as if the team has rethought their approach to heroes and come up with their unique one.
This reserve will not be enough to win the tournament, but with a few more opponents, TSM could surprise. The team needs to be more disciplined.
Expert Betting Tips
Judging by the statistics, Virtus.pro is the clear favorite for this match. We hope the Bears will use their usual characters and play as they did in Group C. Then we can believe in a Virtus.pro victory.
