Viewers from the CIS had less positive emotions. Yaroslav NS Kuznetsov I am sure that in any other situation Virtus.pro would have won this match.
yes, no, HOW they lost – this is a tilt truck, because replay it, I think they would have won 100 out of 100, the people in the 2k rating would have won most likely, simply because the five with the cuirass and ~ 500 damage would have gone five together would not evaporate somewhere unexpectedly

CaspeRRR also believes that Virtus.pro had enough opportunities to win this match.
In this game you can find a lot of scenarios that would lead to the victory of Liquid or VP. Just say thank you to these teams for such unique emotions. # DreamLeagueS13

Muriel Kips Huysman believes Virtus.pro was one step away from victory, but Vladimir No[o]ne minenko not enough eight seconds before reloading items.
“No[o]ne literally was not enough eight seconds before reloading the Refresher Orb and the subsequent use of the Black King Bar and Hex, when Taiga started shooting him from a minigun. I am not saying this to point a finger. Much happened before the game reached this point. I want to show how close it was. ”
Insider drunkstudanal noted that at the end of the meeting, Virtus.pro players were in a very stressful situation.
Now everyone will review the replays and tell what needed to be done, point out errors, but let’s be honest, I personally had a pulse of 228 in the ending, what did the players have in their head after such a cliche in the relegation game – I think you understand

It doesn’t matter at all who got there in the last game. Departure from this tournament is not 1 lost thin game, it is 5 games in a row.

Content creator Bad Playa, on the contrary, supported a team from the CIS, noting the personal achievements of some players in the roster.
In fact, a flurry of crap makes a buzz after a pocket (nothing new). Resol took the top 2 ints, Solo and Nun took a ton of majors. These guys have proven that they are really cool players from the CIS, that they really can. They must always be supported and proud, and not boarded up coffins. ??♂️

The departure from the tournament was also commented by the captain Virtus.pro Alexey Solo Berezin.
“The game was interesting. In best-of-1, anything can happen. In principle, we played to the end – we did everything we could. They made a big mistake at the end, but I think you already saw it all. What happened at this tournament and what is happening in our team is not what we want and what you would like from Virtus.pro. I think we should seriously rethink what is happening. We will think what to do and what to change, because of course we failed the tournament. Thank you all for supporting us. A lot of kind words are written on Instagram in direct – this is felt, thanks. We will become better and everything will be fine. ”
