Fire Flux Esports have had a fairly easy road to this point, which comes with its issues as they’ve not been properly tested. With that, it is also hard to trust them to derail one of the more accomplished teams from VCT EMEA.
- Team Vitality are a far more established team
- Fire Flux Esports have had a fairly easy path to here

Team Vitality Need a Bounce Back
Team Vitality had a fine run through the group stage, placing second in Group Alpha with a 4-1 record. However, after a long break, Team Vitality failed to deliver in the first round of the playoffs, falling to Enterprise esports 1-2.
It was a close game, which could’ve easily ended in Vitality’s victory. However, after winning Summit 13-6, Vitality slipped on Abyss (11-13) and could not keep up with Enterprise on Lotus.
Vitality deserve some slack for that defeat as they’ve been out of action for weeks. However, seeing them lose to Enterprise should raise questions about their chances to defeat Fire Flux without any issues.

Fire Flux Esports Have More to Prove
Fire Flux Esports have made it through the Play-In stage, but they haven’t had to beat many notable teams.
Fire Flux started their VCT EMEA Stage 2 Play-In campaign with a 2-0 sweep of PCIFIC Esports, to which they added a 2-1 win against Team Heretics, a 0-2 loss against Enterprise Esports, and a 2-0 sweep of Joblife.
While Fire Flux have shown some good things, we have yet to see them properly tested. That will change on Saturday.

Verdict
Team Vitality haven’t had the best start to their VCT EMEA Stage 2 Playoff campaign, losing to Enterprise esports. But that shouldn't be a reason to doubt them or their chances of beating Fire Flux Esports.
Fire Flux are arguably the weakest team in the playoffs, having had a fairly easy road through the Play-In stage. And considering they’ve not been properly tested yet, it is fair to doubt them and their chances to upset Vitality.
Vitality’s ceiling is much higher than most teams in VCT EMEA. This is their game to lose.
