They lost one map against <strong>Virtus.pro,<\/strong> despite ultimately winning the series. They lost the next match against <strong>MOUZ. A<\/strong>fter these two games, they started to regain their form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With growing momentum, they beat <strong>Lynn Vision <\/strong>and <strong>G2 <\/strong>both with a score of <strong>2-0<\/strong>, making it to the quarter-finals here. <strong>ZywOo <\/strong>and <strong>flameZ <\/strong>were the key players and frag leaders in both matches, showing strong individual form. They might not be at their peak yet, but let\u2019s not forget &#8211; <strong>Vitality <\/strong>has already claimed eight trophies this year, proving why they\u2019re considered the best team in the world. They\u2019re always hungry for another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Astralis: Rising Confidence After a Surprising Group Stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Few expected <strong>Astralis <\/strong>to perform this well, but they impressed with a strong run through the group stage. They managed to win against <strong>Natus Vincere <\/strong>and <strong>TheMongolZ. They<\/strong> were one step away from advancing directly to the semi-finals, but lost to <strong>Falcons <\/strong>with a score of <strong>2-0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Magisk <\/strong>and <strong>Jabbi <\/strong>led the scoreboards and carried their team to victory. <strong>device <\/strong>was also one of the frag leaders in the match against <strong>Natus Vincere.<\/strong> Individually, everyone seems in form &#8211; but consistency as a team remains the real question, especially on a big stage like this<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">apEX takes it step by step<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Vitality_apEX\/status\/1986063669294231562\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vitality vs Astralis \u2013 Quarter-final Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vitality <\/strong>enters this matchup as the more experienced and proven side, making them the clear favorites. <strong>Astralis <\/strong>didn\u2019t show much success on the big stage throughout the year, and all the pressure will be on <strong>Astralis <\/strong>to take down the best team in the world. We expect <strong>Vitality to win <\/strong>this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can <strong>Astralis <\/strong>pull off a miracle and stop <strong>Vitality <\/strong>from lifting yet another trophy, or will <strong>Vitality <\/strong>dominate once again to prove why they\u2019re the best team in the world?
