Ottelun ennustus Virtus.pro VS fnatic
ESL Pro League Season 19Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to watch the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 19. We are talking about Group A, where today will be played matches of all stages of the grid: top, middle and bottom (the one that skill). Specifically in this text we will talk about the lower grid match between Vp and Fnatic.
The teams will open the game day of ESL Pro League Season 19 with their match not a skill. The winner will go to the next stage of the lowest grid, and the loser will fall even lower (yes, ESL Pro League Season 19 has a very long group stage) and there is definitely everything.
In general, we are trying to figure out which of the teams will be stronger and move up the grid a little further, and who will continue to cling for life in the next round of the net losers.
Let's go.
Virtus.pro form
Let's open the match with an analysis of Vp's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win around 1.45.
At the beginning of last year Vp played in three TIR-A tournaments. These were BB Playlist. Urbanistic, BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, and also BB Playlist. Freeddom. At the two "home" championships from BB Vp were in the top 8, but at the European RMR everything was even less happy - top 14.
Then Vp made a breakthrough by winning at ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. The victory there allowed them to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 18.
Among the victories, CCT Online Finals #2 is also worth mentioning. They beat Team Spirit in the grand finals and earned $100,000, which is pretty good.
- Vp lineup: Jame, FL1T, fame, n0rb3r7, electronic.
Before ESL Pro League Season 18 Vp visited Gamers8, where they didn't get further than the top 8, and Dunav Party LAN, where in the grand finals they got revenge for their defeat on CCT by Spirit.
In the first match of EPL Season 18, Vp's opponent was Team Liquid. The match, as expected, ended in a full-fledged, combative Bo3 with Vp winning 2-1.
Next up, VP played G2 Esports and legitimately Ledgeili, though they fought back and took the map. The defeat sent Vp to the lower grid, where they first beat Eternal Fire and then outplayed Liquid again, thus reaching the EPL play-offs.
Vp did not manage to play in the main stage. Vp lost their first match against 9z Team, which was a rather unexpected result. At the end of the EPL S18 Vp finished in the top 16.
Things are going well at the Roobet Cup. Vp won the first match against their compatriots from Spirit with a score of 2-1. Next up was a battle with Movistar Riders to qualify for the Roobet Cup 2023 play-offs, which ended 2-0 in favour of Vp, a solid 2-0.
The Roobet Cup 2023 itself was the pulse of Vp's triumph. They beat Monte 2-1 in the grand final, earning their first major win in a long time. Later there was Thunderpick World Championship 2023, where Vp also reached the final, but failed to beat FaZe and as a result - 0-2.
Before playing at BB Dacha Vp played at ESL Challenger Winter. There they reached the top 4, losing in the semi-finals to the future champions from Monte. BB Dacha itself was a very successful event for Vp: there they reached the finals and lost to Spirit 2-3 in a close series.
Just before the BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, where Vp were partnered with BLAST, they played the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2023, where they won the championship, beating Apeks 2-0 in the Grand Final.
On their way to the Group D finals, Virtus.pro defeated BIG and Cloud9. The former 2-0, the latter 2-1. In the grand final of their group at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, Vp beat BIG again and again with a score of 2-0, thus earning themselves a place at the spring finals. Next up was IEM Katowice 2024, where Vp failed, finishing in the top 20.
Vp made it to PGL CS 2 Major Copenhagen, finishing in the top 2 at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR A. In addition, they made it to IEM Dallas 2024.
Directly at the World Championship Long Competed from the Elimination stage. First lost to Imperia, but then beat paiN and Heroic, which brought them to 2-1. Next, they lost to Eternal Fire and G2 Esports, which led to Vp's elimination from the Major tournament.
IEM China 2024 Vp are doing quite well. In the top set of Group B, they took turns beating American teams Wildcard (13-1) and then FlyQuest (2-1). In the play-offs seeding match, Vp lost to the best team in the tournament, Astralis, 2-0.
In the main stage of IEM China 2024, Vp played against G2 Esports and lost, thus finishing in the top 6 of the tournament.
In the first match of ESL Pro League Season 19 Vp faced Fnatic and, being the favourite, Ledgeili with the score 1-2. In the "middle set" Vp first beat sAw 2-0, but then Ledgeili FaZe Clan, ending up in the bottom set.

In the pool there is a good Anubis (3-1 on maps), Mirage (6 wins in 9 matches) and Inferno (7 wins in 11 games).
The worst choice for vp is Vertigo. It has 44% wins with 9 matches.
Fnatic Form
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of the European club Fnatic's form. In this match they will play as an outsider with odds to win around 2.
Fnatic started last year with a shaky top-12 finish at IEM Masters Katowice 2023 and a top-16 finish at CCT North America Europe Series #4. There was also a 16th place at EPL Season 17.
A qualitative breakthrough happened at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A. There Fnatic finished in the top 2, which opened the way for them to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.
The only Major in 2023 went well for Fnatic. The team finished in the top 11, which is a decent result.
The last tournament before IEM Cologne 2023 was IEM Dallas 2023. Fnatic was not allowed to play in America: 9z Team knocked the "orange" out of the tournament at the TOP-16 stage.
- Fnatic roster: KRIMZ, afro, bodyy, matys, kyuubii.
Prior to the Long Round of the tournament, fnatic had a significant re-structuring of their roster. Dexter and afro joined the club during the Big Reshuffle. The Australian played for MOUZ for the past two years, while the Frenchman afro played for LDLC.
With a new roster, Fnatic made a very good debut at iEM Cologne, advancing to the group stage through Play-In. And things were going great in the groups. That is, until they fell to the bottom set after losing to ENCE.
"Orange" Ledgeili raw GamerLegion and wiped out all their efforts as IEM Cologne progressed. The tournament in Cologne ended with KRIMZ and company in 9th-12th place.
After IEM Cologne 2023 fnatic attended 2 more top championships. These were Gamers8 and ESL Pro League Season 18, where the "orange" showed, to put it mildly, a weak game: in Riyadh and Malta took the top 16 and it is clearly not something to boast about. There was also IEM Sydney 2023, where Fnatic finished top-12.
In 2024, Fnatic's focus was to qualify for the first CS2 World Championship, but they failed to do so, finishing top-11 at European RMR A and top-6 at Decider. There were qualifications for other, less titled tournaments, but everywhere without success.
In the first match of ESL Pro League Season 19, Fnatic faced Virtus.pro and unexpectedly beat the more status and stronger opponent. Just as unexpectedly, Fnatic Ledge beat 3DMAX with a score of 0-2.
In the middle grid match of ESL Pro League Season 19 Fnatic lost to Eternal Fire with the score 1-2.
Fnatic Mappool
The perfect map for Fnatic stunned Ancient. "Orange" played it 4 times and won all matches.
A hundred per cent winrate on Nuke with Anubis, but fnatic has only 1 match there.

History of head-to-head meetings between Fnatic and Vp
Fnatic and Vp played each other in the first round of Group A. Then Fnatic won.
Predicted result of Vp vs Fnatic at ESL Pro League Season 19
This ESL Pro League Season 19, like probably any Pro League tournament, is surprising. Due to the abundance of matches and the often chaotic results of those same matches, it's sometimes hard to predict the outcome of a match. The only thing I'm almost completely sure of is a full-fledged Bo3 in this match.
Bottom line: total +2.5.
