NAVI vs Team Vitality - Which team will win their opening match at VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 1?
Predictions
NAVI's decision to bring ardiis in the roster has certainly been fruitful. The former FPX (FunPlus Phoenix) squad could deliver positive results and take down many teams during the Kickoff. However, the team fell just a little short of qualifying for Madrid.
However, Team Vitality had difficulties in Kickoff while making it past the Group Stage and the Play-Ins. While the new roster has yet to prove itself, they have shown decent results so far.
The matchup of NAVI vs Team Vitality heavily favors the former as the roster has shown better results recently and is more experienced. However, Team Vitality have had a lot of time to prepare and could surprise their opponents.
Head-to-head
These two teams have faced each other a couple of times before. The most recent was during the VCT EMEA League 2023, where NAVI won the Bo3 series by 2-0.
Recent results
NAVI's most recent match was against Team Heretics at the EMEA Kickoff where they lost the Bo3 series by 0-2.
Team Vitality's recent match was at the same event where they won their Bo3 series against KOI by 2-0.
