Current Team and Players Form

Vitality

They’re on a six-match win streak and doing a great job of being that consistent. They’re also known for not having any trophies for some time already, and it might be their chance here, but it also might be something that stops them. ‘ZywOo’, ‘flameZ’, and ‘Spinx’ are in good shape at this moment, and it should help them, but it will take an entire team to fight against the best.

SAW

SAW is a young team that seems like they’re ready to take on anyone now. First, they won against G2 with a score of 2-0, and some people thought it only happened once and that they wouldn’t do it consistently against top teams. In their quarterfinal match, they had to fight against one more top team in the world, FaZe, and it didn’t seem like a problem for them; SAWended up winning with a 2-1 score. Their players seem to be in good shape, and they’re playing together as a team.

Match Prediction

Vitality is a more experienced team here without a doubt but also they have been struggling with big tournaments playoffs lately. SAW is super motivated and with odds being higher for them once again we would take a risk and SAW to win. We expect SAW to win this match.
