Matchförutsägelse: Team Liquid - Team Vitality | VALORANT

Team Liquid and Team Vitality will meet in the second quarterfinal of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League top draw to advance to face Natus Vincere.

Interestingly, Team Vitality managed to pick up a win during the regular season, but since then the team has clearly sagged in terms of play and results, barely making it into the play-offs.

So it's only logical that the Liquid will try to get revenge. All the more so in recent weeks, the team have managed to find themselves. That's why I'd place my money on Team Liquid winning this one.

Team Liquid's form

The fourth team in the European ranking failed at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo and managed to lose to Team Secret already at the Long Championships.

Furthermore, Team Liquid crashed out at the Long Camp of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League regular season with consecutive defeats.

On the other hand, the European side managed to wake up at the end to close out the group stage with six wins and three defeats, finishing in third place.

Team Liquid's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Team Heretics.
• A 2-1 victory over Giants Gaming.
• A 0-2 loss to Natus Vincere.
• Beat BBL Esports 2-1.
• 2-1 win over KOI.

Team Liquid's best wins:

• Split - 80% wins.
• Fracture - 60% wins.
• Ascent - 57% wins.
• Bind - 50% wins.

It is worth recalling that Team Liquid has consistently given up on Pearl maps.

Team Vitality's form

The third European ranked team on the same VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo played a little better, but still didn't make it past the second round.

However, Team Vitality came through strongly during the regular season of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League with a couple of big victories, including one over Team Liquid.

Still, the European side had trouble at the end, as they even had a streak of four defeats to BBL Esports, Natus Vincere, Fnatic and Giants Gaming. But a win over Team Heretics in the last round helped a lot and pushed the team into the play-offs.

Team Vitality's latest results:

• A 0-2 defeat to BBL Esports.
• A 0-2 loss to Natus Vincere.
• A 0-2 loss to Fnatic.
• 1-2 defeat at the hands of Giants Gaming.
• Defeated Team Heretics 2-0.

Team Vitality's best record:

• Split - 80% wins.
• Lotus - 60% wins.
• Pearl - 50% wins.

In turn, Team Vitality does not show up on the Pearl map.

Team Liquid vs Team Vitality encounter statistics

The teams have met once this season - Team Vitality (2-1) has won the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League.

Team Liquid vs Team Vitality

The last meeting took place at Haven, Fracture and Lotus. While the first two went head-to-head, the encounter on the desider was a struggle that the Liquid lost in the closing stages.

Since then, Team Liquid have markedly improved their game and become much stronger in terms of communication. Team Vitality lost their advantage and barely made it to the play-offs.

So it is logical to expect a rematch here. So in this case, I'd recommend betting on Team Liquid to win.
