Virtus.pro

Virtus.pro made it to the final of Group D confidently enough and waited for their opponent there. In the first match of BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, the Bears beat BIG (2:0) and then beat Cloud9 (2:1) in the Eastern European derby. After the sensation from the Germans, Virtus.pro has a great chance to go to the BLAST Spring Finals.

First, the only defeat on the Anubis map by Cloud9 is logical - the Bears try to ignore this map and have a negative win rate. In other cases, Virtus.pro played better against their opponents. Secondly, FL1T is worthy of individual compliments. Eugene is in the top 3 of the tournament's rankings (1.41) and deals 93 damage per round (only ZywOo has more - 97). But it would be worth highlighting n0rb3r7 as well - David gives very important kills. The series against Cloud9 was won on his lucky rounds. Virtus.pro wins 61% of rounds (the best result in the tournament), realizes 5x4 situations more qualitatively than other participants (86%), and FL1T perfectly makes opening kills (1.48 HLTV rating on first kills).

The Bears almost always play on the power play. Importantly, it's hard to make a good economy against it, as players like to save weapons and not give extra money to the opponent. Virtus.pro plays viscously and can make a decisive blow within 10-15 seconds of the end of the round. Last time, BIG couldn't figure out a way to break this tactic.

BIG

The Germans faced Cloud9 and ended the series with a score of 2:0. Before that, BIG celebrated a tough 2:1 win over Heroic. tabseN and company are very energized and cheerful, and in a good tone they want to get even for their defeat to Virtus.pro in the first match of Group D.

Why did BIG beat Cloud9? First, Cloud9 showed a very bad game - they made many mistakes in shooting and movement. Secondly, mantuu played the "match of a lifetime" - 52 kills, 97 damage per round, and on the first half of Anubis for the T-side, the sniper made 20 kills and almost soloed for a nice difference before the break. All factors came together and gave the spectators another sensation.

Will BIG be as effective against Virtus.pro? The players have played out and are feeling the shooting. This match will be more difficult for the Bears than the previous one. But on the other hand, in the games against Heroic and Cloud9, the Germans gave 200%. The team has a chance to compete for a slot in the BLAST Spring Finals, but they need to play even better against Virtus.pro to expect a win in the match.

Expert Betting Tips

Virtus.pro is a more cohesive and stronger team compared to past BIG opponents. The Germans won't be able to surprise the Bears with anything. Maybe tabseN and company will have enough resources for one map, but the Russian team will be stronger in the series.
