Vitality vs BIG Preview and Predictions: BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023

Vitality vs BIG will be the first BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023 Play-Ins Round 2 match

Vitality will look to bounce back from their BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023 Group A Grand Final loss against NIP, when they step into the arena to take on BIG. The German side will hope to replicate their IEM Rio 2022 Europe RMR success against Vitality, but the French giants will be undisputed CSGO betting favorites in this tie as they are 35 steps ahead of BIG in HLTV’s global ranking.

Vitality faced defeat in two maps against the Swedish team. Despite Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut's impressive showing, they couldn't secure a win on Mirage, losing 16-13, and narrowly missed victory on Overpass with a final score of 16-14.
