Team Vitality vs NAVI - VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 2: Prediction, where to watch, and more

Team Vitality vs NAVI is an upcoming playoff match in VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 2. This is a single-elimination match, meaning the loser will be out of the event. This Bo3 (Best-of-three) is extremely crucial for both teams if they want to eventually qualify for Valorant Champions 2024. The winner of this matchup will proceed to meet Team Heretics in the Upper Semifinals, after which, they will be just one win away from Champions qualification.

Currently, each international league is conducting its Stage 2 event to determine its four representatives for Valorant Champions 2024. So far, the Pacific is the only region that has all its representatives ready. Meanwhile, each of the other three regions has only one representative qualified so far, based on championship points. These teams are EMEA's Fnatic, Americas' Leviatán, and China's EDward Gaming.

Team Vitality vs NAVI- Which team will be eliminated from VCT EMEA Stage 2?

Predictions

Team Vitality looked incredible in their recent matches. So far in Stage 2, they have three wins and one loss, helping them qualify for the Playoffs for the first time in 2024. If Vitality keeps this performance up, they have a very good chance of qualifying for Valorant Champions 2024.

NAVI performed well in the first two regional events but has been struggling in Stage 2. Currently, they have a record of one win and four losses. Their performance in Stage 1 was the only reason they could make it to the Playoffs of Stage 2.

This upcoming Team Vitality vs NAVI matchup favors the former as they have looked a lot better in the recent matches. Despite NAVI's roster getting better results throughout the 2024 season, their Stage 2 performance has left a lot to be desired.

Head-to-head

These two teams have faced each other a few times before. The most recent was during VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 1, where NAVI won the Bo3 series by 2-0.

Recent results

Team Vitality's latest was against Karmine Corp in VCT EMEA Stage 2, where they won the Bo3 series by a 2-1 scoreline.

NAVI's most recent match was against Gentle Mates in the same event, where they won the Bo3 series 2-1.
