Statistically speaking Virtus.pro is a more experienced team with a greater map pool and more matches behind them. They are clearly the favorite here. AVANGAR is the only tier 2 team at this tournament. While AVANGAR is a rising star, at this time last year they were ranked 200th in the world while Virtus.pro was constantly dominating the CS:GO scene. Today, things are a bit different, as Virtus.pro’s glory is slowly fading away with one defeat after another and AVANGAR slowly advancing towards tier 1. If we just look at recent statistics they are in great shape with only 1 loss in the last 20 matches while Virtus.pro has lost 13 matches in the same period.

Lineups:

Virtus.pro: NEO, PashaBiceps, Snax, byali, MICHU

AVANGAR: buster, KrizzeN, qikert, jame, dimasick

There isn’t too much to analyse in the Virtus.pro lineup. In February they were ranked in 19th place, the worst placement in the history of Virtus.pro, so they had to change something. With 3 players over 30 years old Virtus.pro had to bring someone younger, who could add a different dynamic to the team. MICHU replaced TaZ as a temporary solution. That solution is working, for now, as they did remain in Top 20, but one player is not enough. A new generation of teams are coming with different playstyles and “old school” way is no longer an option for them.

On the other side, AVANGAR is a young, modern team hungry for victory. Their oldest player is 21 years old and the team is doing a great job building a name for themselves in the CS:GO community.

Final thought:

Virtus.pro is weaker than ever while the opposite is true for AVANGAR. This is a great chance for AVANGAR to win.

Our tip here is a low bet on AVANGAR 4/10. we got a pretty good odds too, 3,35@Bet365
