In the first round match at the "legends" stage of the tournament in Rio de Janeiro IEM Major 2022, the Ukrainian team Natus Vincere will play against the European team Vitality.
VitalityThe European team played hard at the "contenders" stage at the tournament in Brazil.
The guys lost two matches, but Vitality still won their decisive match for reaching the stage of "legends", which was on the third of November. In the game of the VO3 Vitality format, another European team OG was outplayed in a hard struggle on three maps – 19:17 Vertigo (its peak); 6:16 Inferno and 16:8 Dust2. In this meeting, as part of Vitality, of course, ZywOo showed himself perfectly again, who finished the meeting with a score of +19 in frags.
Natus VincereThe Ukrainian team, in turn, last played on HLTV on October sixth at the LAN tournament IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B. Natus Vincere won all their three matches and calmly entered the stage of "legends".
In their last match of the VO3 format, Natus Vincere confidently outplayed the Russian Outsiders team on two maps – 16:13 Mirage (their peak) and 16:4 Inferno.
Natus Vincere and Vitality played for the last time on the third of September at the ESL Pro League Season 16 LAN tournament. Then in Group A in the game of the VO3 format, the European team won a strong–willed victory - 10:16 Inferno (its peak); 16:14 Mirage and 16:12 Overpass.
ForecastIn this match, Natus Vincere is considered by the bookmakers to be a pretty clear favorite.
In this meeting of the VO1 format, of course, there can be any outcome, and the Ukrainian team, after a long pause, is unlikely to immediately hold the best match. There should be a good fight here, and therefore we suggest that you bet more than 26.5 rounds on the total.
