The Russian team relied on their extensive experience to overcome GamerLegion.
Virtus.pro progressed to the next round of the ESL Pro League playoffs with a hard-fought 2-0 victory against GamerLegion, securing wins on Anubis (13-11) and Mirage (13-11).
Virtus.pro's performance in their first tournament with Denis "electroNic" Sharipov has not instilled confidence, and this series did little to change that perception.
They suffered an unexpected loss to fnatic at the start of their campaign, were convincingly defeated by FaZe in the group stage, and only had to defeat SAW and fnatic to advance this far.
Considering GamerLegion is a new team with two inexperienced players, Virtus.pro shouldn't be too pleased with their hard-fought victory. They found themselves in challenging situations on both maps but managed to come out on top, with electroNic delivering a solid performance, especially on the second map.
Up next for Virtus.pro is a difficult match against TheMongolz, and they will need to elevate their performance to defeat the in-form Mongolian team.
