FURIA vs Vitality – Grand Final Prediction – IEM Krakow 2026

The IEM Krakow 2026 Grand Final is almost here, with Vitality, the top team in the world, facing FURIA, ranked second. Fans have hoped for this matchup, but it rarely happens because these teams often meet earlier in tournaments. Their last meeting was at BLAST Rivals 2025, where FURIA won 2-1. Vitality struggled then, but now they look strong and ready for payback.

FURIA Shut Down Spirit to Secure Grand Final Spot

FURIA – Rising at the Perfect Time

FURIA started the year slowly, especially after their strong finish last season. But as IEM Krakow began, they found their form again. Five straight wins took them to the semi-finals, and their confidence keeps building.

KSCERATO played his best game of the tournament in the quarter-final against Aurora. In the semi-final against Spirit, molodoy and YEKINDAR stepped up, with molodoy earning a 1.36 rating. With their skill, experience, and momentum, FURIA seem ready for a tough best-of-five.

Vitality – The Benchmark of Consistency

Vitality seems to improve with every match they play. After a disappointing showing at BLAST Bounty, they’ve bounced back in dominant fashion at IEM Krakow, looking like the unstoppable force fans have come to expect.

ZywOo keeps playing at a top level as one of the best CS2 players expected to, always posing a threat to any team. apEX, usually not known for high kills, has made a big impact, while ropz and flameZ continue to play reliably every match.

Vitality truly looks like the best team in the world and seems ready to win another trophy.

Grand Final Prediction: FURIA vs Vitality

It’s always a close match and hard to predict a winner between these two, but consistency is a little bit more on Vitality side as of now, and they’re also extra motivated to get their revenge for the losses in the past. No one is a clear favorite here, but we would say that this match is 55-45 in favor of Vitality.

Prediction: Vitality to win this match.

Will FURIA take another trophy from Vitality and keep their rivals waiting for a win? Or will Vitality show they are ready to dominate again, like last year? We’ll find out this Sunday at 17:00 CET.
