Predictions

Team Liquid made one of the bigger roster changes during franchising. They brought in superstar players like nAts and Redgar to form an EMEA superteam, but they still have a lot to prove.

On the other hand, Team Vitality's roster has been together for a lot longer. The squad has produced decent results regionally and some also consider them to be the darkhorse in the EMEA scene.

This matchup will most likely go in Team Liquid's favor. This is due to the firepower the team has in general and the fact that they will be on high alert after their performance at VCT LOCK//IN.
