Legacy and Virtus.Pro Dominance in Stage 2
Legacy’s performance in the tournament was impressive and remarkable. Legacy was not in the actual lineup; they were added in the last movement in place of BESTIA. Despite coming as a replacement for the other team, their performance was dominant in stage 2.
They defeated 3DMAX and MIBR and then pulled off a shocking 2-0 victory against FaZe Clan. Their aggressive strategy towards the meta on Mirage and Dust II was proof of their rising confidence. Their top performer, Latto, also contributed to this success by standing out, earning a rating of 1.47 in Stage 2.
Meanwhile, Virtus.Pro played in a steady, reliable performance and remained calm under pressure during all their matches. Virtus.pro represents the CIS region, where they won all three matches against OG, B8, and paiN by a 2-0 clean sweep.
Players like Fame and electroNic dominated the scoreboard, with ratings of 1.84 and 1.70.
