The last time these two teams faced off against each other was during the VCL 2025 EMEA Stage 3.

During that face-off, Enterprise Esports won with a scoreline of 2-1. In this tournament, Enterprise Esports have been undefeated as well, securing their spot in the grand final after winning the upper bracket final.

On the other hand, Mandatory had to win three matches in a row after an early loss, including a grueling 3-2 win in the lower bracket final. This could result in the team facing fatigue, as in the last 48 hours, they have played around eight maps of competitive VALORANT.

Betting picks and predictions

Enterprise Esports are the favorites to win as they have been performing consistently well throughout the tournament.

In the VCL 2026 season, the team has an incredible 92% win rate with 23 wins and only two losses. This is the highest by any tier-two team in the EMEA region.

The one stat that is in favor of Mandatory is their win rate on pistol rounds. This season, the team has a 65% win rate.

In a best-of-five, there is a higher chance they could win seven out of the 10 pistol rounds. As Enterprise Esports qualified for the grand final through the upper bracket, they will get to veto two maps.

We predict that they will ban Abyss and Pearl as these are the maps that Mandatory have played and won the most on.

One player to watch out for in this series is Denis Stefan “Kozzy” Aionitoaei from Enterprise Esports. During the playoff stage, the player had clocked over 100 total kills, the highest in the tournament.

Thus, our prediction for this match is that Enterprise Esports will win the match 3-0.
