Cybersports commentator Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov believes that Vitality will secure a confident victory in the ESL Pro League Season 19 final. In his opinion, shared on his Telegram channel, MOUZ has shown weak performances against top-level opponents in championship matches, giving them only a 20% chance of triumph.
"Vitality is having a very strong tournament. ZywOo - undoubtedly the best player of the tournament, may even break Donk's record at IEM Katowice 2024. MOUZ - they're good, but their history in finals and semifinals against opponents from the top 10 doesn't speak well. I think it will be a working victory for Vitality, 3-0 maybe, or 3-1. If by any chance 'the mice' win, it will be a sensation. 80 to 20 - Vitality's victory."
OverDrive also surveyed several esports players, including Danil "donk" Kryshkovets, Alexander "KENSI" Gurkin, and David "n0rb3r7" Danielyan, and all of them, except for Robert "Patsi" Isyanov, favored Vitality in the upcoming final.
