Current Team and Players Form
Virtus.pro
They didn’t look good for some time but at this tournament it seems like they prepared something at least from what we could see from their group stage games. They lost their opening match but won the following three matches in a confident way. They’re yet to prove that they can play against the best teams and do it on a consistent basis.
Natus Vincere
They’re the best team in the world but at this tournament, at least in the group stage it was looking like they need to take a break since they won one of the recent tournaments and made it to the Grand Final on the next one and for that reason they might be tired. It might change here at the playoff stage and we will see if it just was a shaky group stage results from them.
