Prediction
In the Fnatic vs Team Vitality Grand Final of VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 2, Fnatic are the favorites. They are the well-oiled machine that has been running for a while, and even with the substitute, there are no signs of slowing down. In fact, hiro has been delivering above and beyond expectations fans might have had from him, considering the shoes he is filling.
Team Vitality looks sharp, or at least, the tip of their spear, Sayf, does. While no member of the squad is lackluster, the primary Duelist for the team has been putting in tremendous amounts of work and is a big reason behind the team's success.
Unless ceNder can find a way to break through Fnatic's complex protocols, the sheer force of Sayf's fragging ability won't be enough to get them over the line in today's Fnatic vs Team Vitality game.
