Team Liquid has been quite dominant in VCT EMEA and are the favorites coming into this match. The IGL of Team Liquid, nAts, has been one of the most consistent players this year.

Due to his lurking ability, the team has been able to boast a 72% success rate to prevent late-round rotations. Additionally, through his game sense, he can hold different unique angles, catching teams off guard when they rotate.

One must keep an eye on Miniboo from Team Heretics. In the VCT EMEA Stage 1, he currently has the highest first bloods per round (0.18) among players in Group Omega.

If he continues his run of form, he will be able to put Team Heretics at a man advantage in most rounds.

In the VCT 2026 season, Team Heretics has a 62.5% win rate on pistol rounds, thus increasing the possibility for the team to build up momentum from the first round on each half.

There is a high chance that Breeze will be banned by Team Heretics, as this season Team Liquid is undefeated on the map. Another point to note is that over 75% previous matches between these two teams have gone to map three.

Thus, there is a high possibility that this game will go over 2.5 maps.
