In our EWC 2024 CS2 Quarter-Finals preview, Vitality was considered the slight favorites based on star power, but Virtus.pro’s strong form in the tournament hinted at a tough challenge. Virtus.pro’s victory over Vitality showcases their resilience and determination, despite being on the back foot on paper.
