The PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 tournament will soon give fans exciting confrontations, and the next match between Virtus.pro and 3DMAX promises to be intense. Both teams show unstable results, but now every match is critically important in the fight for the playoffs. Virtus.pro have more experience at the top level, but 3DMAX are in better shape and show a higher individual level. Who will advance to the next stage and who will lose important points in the Swiss system?

Current form of the teams

Virtus.pro are in a volatile form with only three wins in their last five matches. They managed to beat MIBR, Eternal Fire, and G2, but lost to Spirit and Vitality. Problems with realization on key maps and instability in the lane rounds affect their game.

3DMAX look similar, with three wins in their last five matches. They defeated BIG, Nevermore, and Heroic, while the losses to Eternal Fire and Vitality were in hard-fought matches. The team demonstrated a strong level at the IEM Dallas 2025 qualifiers, and now they are clearly in a better gaming tone.

Map Pool

Virtus.pro have a strong Mirage (67%), and Train (50%), although they have only played the latter four times, and Dust2 (50%). Their weak maps are Nuke (0%), where they did not play any of the 30 maps, Ancient (44%), and Inferno (44%) where they do not look too confident.

3DMAX is at their best on Dust2 (72%) and Inferno(79%). At the same time, their weaknesses are Ancient (37%) and Anubis (48%), where they often lost key matches. Nuke (50%) and Mirage(0%) look like downright failures, and the team will likely avoid them.

The expected set of maps in Bo3: Inferno, Dust2, Train

Match Prediction

The game has the potential to drag on for three maps, as the teams have different strengths. If Virtus.pro manages to capitalize on their experience and perform well on Mirage, they will have an advantage. However, 3DMAX can turn the game around on Nuke, where they look much more confident.

Given their current form and mapping, 3DMAX look to be the favorites in this match. They have a more flexible style of play, adapt better to their opponents, and have won confident victories over stronger teams.

Prediction: 3DMAX will win with a score of 2-1.

This match will be an important test for both teams in PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, as it will determine who will be closer to reaching the playoffs. Virtus.pro will need stability and confidence in key moments, while 3DMAX can use their momentum and good form. Given the Swiss tournament system, a defeat will make the path of one of the teams much more difficult, so we can expect maximum tension in each round.
