Virtus.pro vs B8 Preview and Predictions: BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A

It’s an all-CIS clash in Virtus.pro vs B8 in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 European RMR A


There’s more than a little global context to a match between a Russian team vs a Ukrainian roster at this point in time, but world politics aside, this should be a cracker of a CSGO match. Virtus.pro looked solid in their first match, while B8 were able to surprise a team considered to be miles above their pay grade. If you’re looking to do some CSGO betting, make sure to give this review a good, long read. 

Virtus.pro 

The winners of the last Major began their run in this one pretty well, beating Portuguese hopefuls SAW comfortably on Ancient. They have had a rough time lately, but this win should earn them some much-needed confidence going into what should be a relatively straightforward next match in the RMR. The Russians have everything they need at their disposal, and just need to play a decent game to get past B8.

Player To Watch

Jame

B8 

Just about no one, not even B8 players (probably) expected to beat the likes of MOUZ in their first RMR match for the Paris Major, but that part is now done and dusted as they prepare to face a much more clinical, by-the-numbers team. B8 played superbly on Ancient to thrash MOUZ 16-9, but VP will be a whole other ball game, and they need to make sure they don’t slip up.
