Virtus.pro vs Team Vitality Predictions

Virtus.pro have secured a spot in the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025 Group A upper bracket final with a phenomenal run though the play-in and the group stage. However, despite their recent resurgence, they are not expected to do well on Tuesday, February 4, when they face off against Team Vitality.

Virtus.pro have looked very shaky of late, but they found serious momentum in Katowice, especially in their recent two outings against G2 Esports and Eternal Fire.

While two good games do not take away from the fact that VP have not looked good for a while, they have shown improvement and that is not something we can take lightly.

Virtus.pro have a good enough roster to hand with the top dogs and their recent improvement just might be an indication that they’re at that level.

Virtus.pro defied all the odds by making IEM Katowice 2025 upper bracket finals. Following a very unconvincing run though the Play-In, VP picked up some steam in Group A, where they swept G2 Esports and defeated BLAST Bounty Spring 2025 finalists, Eternal Fire.

The unlikely resurgence leads Virtus.pro straight in the hands of Team Vitality, who look poised to produce a deep run in Katowice. However, the Bees are not at 100% yet, which could leave them vulnerable against the surging VP.

It is hard not to feel excited about Team Vitality roster. While they’ve made some major roster changes which came with role swaps, the Bees seem to be holding on well, having racked in two solid victories in IEM Katowice 2025 Group A.

Vitality first ran over 3DMAX and added a closely-contested victory against Robin "ropz" Kool’s former team, FaZe Clan. The results Vitality have produced so far this year suggest they are set for a successful campaign; however, it remains to be seen when Vitality will reach 100% of their strength

Verdict

Virtus.pro v Team Vitality

Team vitality enter this match as the most likely victory, which is fair, but we can not ignore the improvement Virtus.pro have shown. They built a capable roster this offseason and while their beginning was rough, VP seem to have found their stride.

An upset for VP seems unlikely, but they should be good for one map.
