The former Virtus.pro captain gave his first prediction for The International 2024

Artem "Fng" Barshak, former captain of Virtus.pro, gave his first prediction for The International 2024 and believes that 1win could finish in at least the top 8 at the world championship, and possibly even higher.

He shared his prediction during a Twitch stream.

"I’m not taking anything away from 1win; with their current play, as long as they don’t lose form, don’t tilt, and don’t overheat themselves at TI, they are a solid top-8. I’d say they have a very stable top-8, and if they perform well, they might even place higher"

The player noted that 1win has yet to face giants of the pro scene like Gaimin Gladiators and Team Spirit, but they already have experience against Team Liquid and are showing a strong level of play.

He highlighted their teamwork but acknowledged that facing the best tier-1 teams will still be challenging.
