Virtus.pro
Virtus.pro got off to a good start in the DreamLeague Season 25 closed qualifications, beating 1win 2-1, but then suffered a shock defeat to 9 Pandas (0-2), which sent them to the bottom of the grid. Despite this, the team fought hard to qualify for the tournament, defeating One Move 2-1. But they didn't quite get there in the end, losing to NaVi in the deciding match and missing out on the DreamLeague.They also had a tough time at the start of the PGL Wallachia qualifiers, giving the first match to Natus Vincere Junior (1:2), which put them in a tough spot. But Virtus.pro bounced back quickly, beating Quantum Team 2-0 in the first match of the loser's bracket. The team is playing with a temporary lineup, including Nande, Noticed, jesv and Rein, which makes it hard to predict how they'll play. The team's experienced core of Noticed and squad1x help find a balance between strategy and improvisation, while young talents like Nande add energy and out-of-the-box solutions. The win over Quantum Team was an important step for the Bears in their fight for a spot at PGL Wallachia and a confirmation of their ability to adapt to difficult circumstances. Now, the team's got to show they can hold their own, even when things are always changing.

Expert Betting Tips
In the upcoming BO3 match, Virtus.pro is the favorites because of their more experienced players like Noticed and squad1x, as well as their recent success against Quantum Team in the lower qualification grid at PGL Wallachia. But the fact that the Bears' temporary roster is unstable and that they were vulnerable after their opening loss to NaVi Junior means that the ambitious BanyaPivoSamogon squad might have a chance.
