New roles on the CT side on Mirage cannot prevent the sublimation momentum of Biguzera and his teammates when they destroy Virtus.pro.

Pain confused VP with new positions for all four Rifler on Mirage

Blast Bounty witnessed Pain in the quarterfinals, and they continued to impress in early 2025 with a convincing victory against Virtus.pro.

Signing a contract with David "⁠dav1deus⁠" Tapia Maldonado initially to bring experience to the young team, but he also showed a significant upgrade of fire compared to Lucas "⁠lux⁠" Meneghini, and There was an impressive debut at Bounty.

That was once again clearly shown, when the Chilean player played excellent on Mirage with a rating of 1.73, and the team continued to dominate with a 13-2 victory on Dust2.

This victory reinforced Rodrigo's comments "⁠biguzera⁠" BitTencourt that Virtus.pro replaced Dzhami "⁠jame⁠" Ali with Denis "⁠electronic⁠" Sharipov as captain is a step back.

"I feel Electronic sometimes very easy to lose my temper," the Brazilian player said in an interview content before the match. The signs of stress also appeared in the VP squad when they let Pain win too easily.

Currently, Pain is waiting for the match results between Gamerlegion and Saw, with their rated more than who the opponent is.

Pain abandoned the old tactics on Mirage

Just a week ago, Biguzera also complained about having to play in B Apartments in an interview with HLTV.

But when the VP chose Mirage as the starting map, the entire preparation of Pain was turned upside down. All of their four rifler changed the position:

João "⁠snow⁠" Vinicius from Short to A.

Kaue "⁠kauez⁠" kaschuk from A moved to B.

DAV1DEUS from Connector moves to Short.

Biguzera from B returned to his favorite position at Connector.

"Actually, we are quite confused," Biguzera shared after the match. "That is why the team laughed so much," he added, recounting a Snow situation from the Flash team from B while putting Molotov on the Palace balcony.

Despite the initial difficulties, it was the VP that was confused when Pain's system was superior, focusing on Mid control, taking advantage of their strengths and covering the lack of practice in positions. New location.

Virtus.pro needs more time, but does they have enough patience?

The questions surround Virtus.pro are still there - but don't expect the answers from the interviews.

Freya "⁠freya⁠" Spers wanted to talk to Electronic before the match, but instead, she only received feedback from Timur "⁠FL4MUS⁠" MareV, who refused to answer any questions about the system The new tactic of the team - completely contrary to the openness he has shown in previous interviews.

"You will see on the server," Fl4mus only answered briefly before two questions about the team's tactical style. But in fact, the performance of the VP on the server today does not leave too many imprints.

There is also a difference that Pain is building a play around Dav1deus, making him more comfortable, while VP pushes Fl4mus as anchor role on all four maps they have played.

At Bounty, Fl4mus used to take on the main roles ("Star Roles"), but in Katowice, he was transferred from A Short on Dust2 to A Long.

On Mirage, he often plays at B Site next to the electronic, although it is difficult to determine who is really a short player in the VP squad due to the two-person set-up tactics on their site.

Changing the captain and having two changes in the main squad makes the VP need more time is understandable.

However, they fell to the 22nd place on Valve's global rankings. If you continue to fall, accepting the invitation to attend the big tournaments will be more and more difficult.
