Team Liquid vs. Team Heretics - Who will open Week 4 with a win in the VCT EMEA League?

Predictions

Team Liquid formed one of the most stacked rosters in the EMEA region. However, the team hasn't performed the best yet. At VCT LOCK//IN, Liquid was eliminated in the first match itself. They have won two out of their four games in the league.

On the other hand, Team Heretics brought players from G2, Acend, etc.. to form a dangerous squad. Unfortunately, the team hasn't been able to produce great results. At LOCK//IN, Heretics got knocked out in their first series. Heretics have won only one match out of the four in the league.

The matchup will likely favor Team Liquid, as they have looked better in the league than Heretics. Despite both teams performing similarly at LOCK//IN, Team Liquid has started to find its groove and perform better.
