Team Vitality sensationally found themselves in the quarterfinals of IEM Dallas 2024. The Bumblebees were expected to easily reach the semi-finals after the match with 9Z, but ZywOo and company managed to lose the series with a score of 0:2. Either the South Americans are serious about winning the title, or Team Vitality has some problems that need to be solve💧d right now. We can get some answers after the match with Heroic.
Spinx and ZywOo are stable in their performance and took places in the top 10 of the individual rankings of the tournament, but the sniper is trailing the top 10, which is not quite typical for Mathieu. Perhaps a bit lacking in good play from flameZ - he was good in the match against G2 Esports, but with Monte and 9Z the shooting didn't go. We would like to put it down to the lack of practice against tier-2 teams, where the usual actions on the maps do not always work due to the unpredictability of opponents. Team Vitality also lost drastically their defensive play - only 44% of the realised rounds, as well as a complete failure in pistol rounds (2-8, 20%). But the Bumblebees have the best attack in the🙈 tournament (66%) and the best minority realisation (37%).
We sincerely want to believe that Team Vitality wi✱ll present a completely different image in the playoffs. ZywOo is able to take matters into his own hands in tough matches and drag his teammates through all obstacles solo. Now apEX shoots better than usual, and mezii is the ballast, which, according to feelings, is not so comfortable in Team Vitality. In CS2,ꦡ the Bumblebees only in Katowice and Sydney took 13-16th place, and so did not fall below the top-4. Heroic is not the most formidable opponent right now, and it should be passed at least for the sake of a meeting with donk.
Heroic
Heroic surprised everyone in Dalla🃏s. Again nicodooz at the sniper position, and the community predicted a quick departure from IEM Dallas 2024. However, all players found resources within and won some very important matches in the lower grid. First M80 fell at the hands of Heroic, then Natus Vincere, and in the battle with BIG heroes formalised their exit to the playoffs. Were we all wrong about Heroic's prospects?
No one would have ever thought that TeSeS would top the individual rankings of the tournament. 1.39 HLTV points, 89 damage, 0.85 kills, Rene took out M80 on Ancient and Mirage in dominating fashion, and made a big contribution on Nuke against BIG. Throughout the tournament, he's been a consistent plus player, and if Heroic makes it to the grand finals, TeSeS will be a contender for the MVP award. Heroic has an excellent realisation of open duels (67%𒉰 for the tournament), also no problems with attacking (60% winrate for the T-side), and good realisation of force rounds after failed pistols (62%).
But the tale must stop. Heroic were very lucky to meet Natus Vincere, and the Born to win looked very bad after the majors. Virtus.pro should have been in the final of the lower grid of Group B, but they had to fight with BIG, and the victory is quite natural. H𒈔eroic replacement status is formal - nicodooz previously played six months together with his current teammates, and the team is working on the old blueprints. But it has always had problems in matches against opponents from the top-5 of the HLTV rankings, and Team Vitality will carefully remind about it.
Expert Betting Tips
It was a great performance in Dallas, but it's time to say goodbye. Team Vitality is embittered by the last result, plus there could be a ZywOo and donk clash ahead. As mentioned earlier, usua♕lly the Bumblebees make it to the semi-finals of the big events, and there will be no sensation here.
