I look forward to seeing Wildcard in action again. They come across as a team that never gives up, no matter who they face. They approach each match with the belief that they can win, and I really admire that. Their next opponent will be Virtus Pro, who are difficult to read. I’m curious to see in what condition they will show up.
Arguments for the game:
- Since the start of the RMR, Wildcard has played 6 out of 6 fantastic matches, despite suffering two losses. Nevertheless, they have delivered impressive performances.
- Wildcard came very close to making a strong comeback against Liquid, and in the match following that against Furia, they unfortunately lost momentum and dropped a match they shouldn’t have lost.
- Virtus Pro has not played a single well-balanced match in either the RMR or the Opening Stage. The team seems exhausted, and I believe they have reached their maximum potential in their current form.
- I expect a Wildcard team that can keep up with the veto. Anubis might pose a challenge for them, but other than that, I see them being competitive throughout the match. I consider this a 50/50 match, so there is great value to be found here.
- Virtus Pro lost a significant lead against BIG. I’m curious to see who comes out mentally stronger in this match.
Key factors to watch:
- Virtus Pro has a very slow playstyle, and I fear that Wildcard might end up overplaying rounds. We unfortunately saw this against Furia, which cost them the victory.
- Virtus Pro is a team that never gives up, even when they don’t play optimally. Somehow, they always manage to bounce back.
- This is a “win or go home” match, where Virtus Pro must prove whether they can survive yet another important tournament.
- Individually, Virtus Pro has players who should be the best on the server. But the question is, is it enough? Under normal circumstances, Wildcard would face significant challenges in such a match.
