Team Vitality entered the Esports World Cup 2024 playoffs without any major problems. In the meeting with M80, the Bumblebees only made the audience nervous on the first map, losing on Vertigo in the end, but took three crucial rounds and finished the game in their favour. Can Team Vitality break the curse of 2024 here and take the trophy for themselves?
Team Vitality did not make any replacements during the off-season. There were rumours that the organisation might swap mezii, with particularly risky insiders claiming Perfecto could move here. But the Bumblebees have stayed with the same squad, and that's favourable for everyone. There is a synergy formed between all the players. In addition to ZywOo, there is Spinx and flameZ, they too can take on individual cards and give a stellar performance. The same numbers are constantly expected of mezii, but his tasks on the server are a bit different, and he often does well in his positions. Captain apEX needs this ‘ship’ to encourage and push for new feats, though he can be very accurate himself. Team Vitality plays from two factors: ZywOo's personal performance and the team's rich tactical preparation on all maps. More often than not, the Bumblebees rely on the latter, but in tough matches, ZywOo often takes the initiative and carries his teammates through. Mathieu is now defending the title of top-1 player in the world, although his competition is very strong this year.
Team VItality couldn't win at 2024 for various reasons. At Major ZywOo was sick, at ESL Pro League Season 19 the team was unprepared for a strong MOUZ, and in Dallas the magic of Stewie2K worked. But despite constant grand finals and top-4s, Team Vitality always looks very powerful and is second in the HLTV rankings for a reason.
Virtus.pro.
The Bears are back on the dash-1 level again. In the spring, the team was forgiven for the occasional defeat to BIG, blaming it on the recent electroNic transfer and rebuilding. In Riyadh, Virtus.pro plays under the coaching of XomA, the mentor has been working with the team for a month in a quiet environment and without official matches. We will see what the work done in the last month will result in in the game against Team Vitality.
Objectively, Virtus.pro had the most difficult opponent in the Opening Stage. Complexity is ranked ninth in the HLTV rankings, while the Bears are ranked seventh. It was a fairly even match, in which it was difficult to identify an obvious favourite. It appeared that the Russians had to break the game for EliGE, and the series would immediately go easier. That's exactly the strength of Virtus.pro - the team relies on discipline and tries to play rounds strictly by design, not by individual skill. The community noted that FL1T, Jame and electroNic have very good performance, and n0rb3r7 and fame shoot well, while in Virtus.pro they shrink to a precise billet and do not show creativity. That may be true, but disciplined play always pays off.
Judging by the first match, XomA fixed the first problem - they integrated electroNic, gave him good roles to make Denis feel comfortable on the servers. Plus the team started to play a bit faster and more aggressive, with rare echoes of his style. But the real tests will start now, in the Esports World Cup 2024 playoffs.
Expert Betting Tips
Virtus.pro won the last face-to-face match, although Team Vitality had just two rounds left to close the series in their favour. It is likely to be a dominance from the Bumblebees, and bookmakers also consider them favourites. Virtus.pro will definitely snag one card and take the series to a desideratum.
