Virtus.Pro defeats Team Spirit 2-1

The official HLTV rankings show very little difference in the two teams' current level. With Virtus.Pro sitting at 15th. place and Team Spirit with a ranking of 16th. in the world, a close and dramatic match was certainly on the cards.

It was Team Spirit to start the strongest. With "iDISBALANCE" wielding the AWP and outperforming the entire server, Team Spirit managed to steal away their competitors' map pick on mirage. They take map one and move on to Train with a map victory of 16-9.

The second map was set to take place on Train. Despite being Team Spirit's choice of map, Virtus.Pro seemed eager to fight and clawed themselves back into the series with a map victory of 16-10 on Train. This time it was Virtus.Pro's AWP'er "Jame" to set his mark on the game and was, with a map rating of 1.52, one the reasons that Virtus.Pro bested their opponents and forced a third and final map.

The final map was Inferno, and despite being common-ground for the two fighting rosters, it was clear that one of the two teams seemed more eager than the other. Virtus.Pro won the pistol-round and proceeded to further expand their lead. They saw themselves leading 8-0 before being answered back by Team Spirit. Whilst Team Spirit managed to somewhat get back into the game it was seemingly too late. Virtus.Pro won Inferno 16-8 and thereby secured themselves their first series win of Blast Premier Fall Showdown 2020.
