Prediction

With how the teams have played in VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1, Team Vitality is the clear favorite in today's match. Each squad member has shown immaculate mechanics, and the strategies they have showcased as a team have instilled fans' faith in them.

Gentle Mates, on the other hand, have looked half-baked in multiple situations. Their double-Duelist compositions with Phoenix on Lotus and Breeze against Fnatic last week might remind fans of Paper Rex from the past. However, unlike the Singaporean squad, Gentle Mates lacked explosiveness, getting completely shut down by their opponents.

Unless Gentle Mates offers something fans haven't seen before, Team Vitality should get a clean win in today's series.
