Virtus.Pro come into the tie with Vega Squadron after three straight losses in CS: GO match ups which will cause the core players of the squad NEO, TaZ and pashaBiceps a few sleepless nights, however, the squad (which was formed in 2003) is one of the most experienced in eSports and that could prove a telling factor in the outcome prediction.
Vega Squadron secured their place in the group stage after beating Team Dignitas on the Inferno map comfortably 16-5. The opening match will likely be a nervous affair as no one wants to get underway on the back foot.

Virtus.Pro vs Vega Squadron Prediction
As a top eight side in the ELEAGUE Major 2017, the prediction is Virtus should get themselves off to a comfortable start. Experience will also play its part in Krakow and the Polish squad have that in abundance making it hard to see anything other than a Virtus victory.
Virtus.Pro vs Vega Squadron Betting Tips
Vega do have on form player Nikolay 'mir' Bityukov in their squad and despite being outsiders, an on-song mir could turn the tide in a tightly fought contest, for a bit of security Vega look good with a +3.5 handicap as the best betting tip.
That said, a majority of the betting will go on Virtus to get that much needed first win of the tournament but the value tip would be on an outside bet on Vega to win outright.
