In the first round match of the EPIC CIS League Spring 2021 playoffs, forZe and Virtus.Pro. Will the Bears be able to take revenge?
forZe
"Forza" confidently passed the group stage, entering the playoffs from the second place and with a 3-0 record. If in the first match against IN.IF they did not notice the difficulties, coping on the Mirage 16-6 and on the Dast 2 16-7, then in the next two games it was more difficult: only on the desider they managed to break the opponents and take the victory in the matches - 2:1 with Nemiga and Virtus.Pro. At the same time, it is important to note that in each of the last two games, "Forza" demonstrated character, winning in bo3 after losing on the first maps.
Virtus.Pro
Before the start of the group stage, YEKINDAR gave an interview and stated that the players of the team have left problems, they are not distracted by extraneous factors and they are focused exclusively on work, so the quality of the game and the results should go up. After the first two matches, the words did not differ from the deed-victories over K23 and Trident Clan by 2:0. It seemed that the playoffs were close, it remained to take one more step and wait for the opponent in the first round of elimination. However, the "bears" preferred to rattle their nerves both to themselves and to the fans - they lost in the next two games, brought the matter to 2-2 and only in the decisive 5th round took the third victory: 2-0 over Marlian.
Forecast
The teams met in the group stage and were stronger than Forza, who won 2-1 after losing on the first map. I think that something similar will happen this time, so I suggest playing a total of more than 2.5 cards.
