G2 vs Vitality Preview and Predictions: Gamers8 2023

G2 vs Vitality will determine the final finalist of the Gamers8 2023

After a hard-fought victory against Virtus.pro, G2 will now seek to get the better of Team Vitality to make it to the Gamers8 2023 Grand Final. The Germans will be hopeful of replicating their IEM Cologne 2023 success against their next opponents, but Vitality’s phenomenal form in Riyadh makes them the CSGO betting favorites going into this tie. 

G2

Under the stewardship of Dzhami “Jame” Ali, Virtus.pro pulled ahead of G2 on Mirage (16-11). Responding with remarkable speed, the European mix showcased a near impeccable offensive strategy on Inferno (16-9) to level the playing field. The ultimate outcome was determined on Vertigo, where Nikola “NiKo” Kovač and his teammates orchestrated a noteworthy 11-2 offensive half, ultimately securing a resounding 16-12 victory.
