Vitality vs Imperial Preview and Predictions: BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023

A cross-continental showdown is set to take place in the Vitality vs Imperial BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023 Group Stage clash

Fresh off their IEM Rio and Paris Major success, Vitality will start their BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023 mission against Imperial. The Brazilians will be the CSGO betting underdogs in this tie, as they come on the back of underwhelming Brazy Party and IEM Rio campaigns. Imperial are currently on a three-match winning run, but their record against European oppositions remains poor. Having recently suffered defeats against 9INE, NIP, and Sprout, Vitality would not present an easier challenge for Imperial.

Vitality

Vitality aims to continue their winning streak in S-tier tournaments as they head to Washington for the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023. Having emerged victorious in the IEM Rio 2023 Grand Final against Heroic, they carried that momentum to secure a historic victory in the Paris Major 2023 on home turf. Notably, Vitality did not drop a single map in Paris, and they strive to maintain their dominant form in the upcoming BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023.

Imperial

Imperial clinched the BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2023 title to make their way to the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023. They, however, lost steam afterward and suffered a string of disappointing results. Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo and company crashed out of the Paris Major RMR and followed up that heartbreak with dismal performances in the IEM Rio and Brazy Party.
