Team Liquid Are Holding On
Team Liquid were one of the best-performing teams of VCT EMEA Stage 2 group stage. They placed second in Group Omega, with a 3-2 record, thus securing a direct bye to the playoffs.
In the knockout stage, Liquid haven’t had the best start, as they had to admit defeat to FUT Esports in the opening round. Following the rough 0-2 loss, however, Liquid found more success in the lower bracket, beating Eintracht Frankfurt and Enterprise Esports, 2-1 and 2-0, respectively.
Beating two Challengers teams doesn't sound too inspiring, granted both Eintracht Frankfurt and Enterprise have done enough to reach this stage, meaning they aren't complete pushovers. Now Liquid are set to face the best Challengers team of the stage.
Overall, Liquid haven’t been too bad, but they’ve also not shown anything exceptional.

Fire Flux Esports Are On a Roll
Fire Flux Esports have been on a roll, exceeding everyone’s expectations of what they’re capable of. As a Challenger squad, Fire Flux were expected to struggle in VCT EMEA Stage 2 Play-In, but instead they made it through the stage, beating PCIFIC ESPORTS, Team Heretics, and Joblife.
Their best performances, however, came in the playoffs, where Fire Flux Esports eliminated Team Vitality and BBL Esports, who were long viewed as two of the league’s top teams.
Results like that are more than a good indication of what Fire Flux Esports are capable of. And if they can keep at it, a deep run should not escape them.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 23 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | BBL Esports | 2-0 (W) |
| August 22 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | Team Vitality | 2-1 (W) |
| August 16 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | Joblife | 2-0 (W) |

Verdict
Team Liquid looked great during the group stage, and they’ve handled two Challenger teams in the playoffs. However, compared to Fire Flux, Liquid haven’t been as potent.
Fire Flux Esports have already beaten some of VCT EMEA’s top teams, including Team Vitality and BBL Esports, who are arguably at the same level as Team Liquid.
While Liquid look better on paper, Fire Flux Esports have shown enough to deserve my nod.
