The last day of the VCT EMEA League is here, as most teams have now secured their Playoffs spots. The remaining teams will rely on other matches' results to reach the next stage. EMEA has four slots for VCT Masters Tokyo. The teams going through will be decided by the Playoffs Stage. Week 8's final day has two matches lined up, and one of them is between Team Liquid and KOI.
Week 8 Day 2 had two matchups. The first one was between Team Vitality and Team Heretics. Despite Heretics' best efforts on the second map, Lotus, Vitality won the BO3 series by 2-0.
Trending
The second matchup saw Karmine Corp go up against Giants Gaming. Karmine Corp could not secure a win in their last match as Giants Gaming took the BO3 series by 2-0 and potentially secured themselves a spot in the Playoffs stage.
Team Liquid vs. KOI - Who will outperform the other in this match in the VCT EMEA League?
Predictions
Team Liquid had a slow start in 2023 as they were eliminated in their first match at VCT LOCK//IN. That said, they have finally found their form and have done significantly better in the EMEA League. The team has been able to win five out of their eight matches.
KOI has struggled to find success in 2023. Their performance at LOCK//IN was underwhelming and has continued to be so during the VCT EMEA League. The team has only won two out of eight matches.
The matchup heavily favors Team Liquid as they have performed much better consistently than KOI, who is most likely out of the running for the Playoffs stage.
Head-to-head
These teams have not faced each other before.
Recent results
Team Liquid's most recent match was against BBL Esports. They won the BO3 series by 2-1.
