Team Vitality Look Strong
Team Vitality looked excellent in the Swiss Stage, where they bested Dragon Ranger Gaming and FUT Esports, and they’ve not shown any signs of slowing down in the playoffs. The VCT EMEA representatives kicked off the knockout stage with a commanding 2-0 sweep of Team Heretics, but they could not make it past Paper Rex, and lost 1-2.
It was a relatively one-sided game. Vitality picked up Split 13-6, but they struggled on Breeze 13-3 and 13-6 on Fracture. Despite the loss to Paper Rex, Team Vitality are not to be overlooked.
They have a very deep map pool and individual players who can pop off at any time. While they will have a couple of big obstacles to overcome to make a run for the trophy, Vitality are VCT EMEA’s strongest team, and that is a good indication of how solid they are.

Leviatan’s Map Pool Can Be an Issue
Leviatan have been holding on well this tournament. They made it through the Swiss Stage with wins against Global Esports and NRG, showing some pulse.
They could not make it past Paper Rex in the first round of the playoffs, and lost with 1-13 on Ascent and 10-13 on Lotus, but bounced right back with a 2-1 victory against Team Heretics and a 2-0 sweep of XLG Esports.
The former game was not as close as it may seem. Besides dropping Lotus 11-13, Leviatan dominate on Split (13-3) and Ascent (13-6), exposing Heretics’ map pool. The problem here is that Vitality does not have the same weaknesses, so Leviatan can not target ban any maps.
They will, however, be able to count on their firepower, namely on Neon, who has been playing well this tournament, with a 1.23 performance rating.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 16 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | XLG Esports | 2-0 (W) |
| June 14 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | Team Heretics | 2-1 (W) |
| June 12 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | Paper Rex | 0-2 (L) |
| June 8 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | NRG | 2-1 (W) |
| June 7 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | Global Esports | 2-1 (W) |

Verdict
The important thing to consider here is the map pool, as the two teams are very close quality-wise. Leviatan will want to remove Breeze against Vitality, whereas Vitality does not exactly have a map they can permanently remove.
This gives Vitality a chance to pick Lotus and a notable advantage, thus almost guaranteed chance to win at least one map. The problem for Leviatan is that their map pool is not that great, so they do not have a clear map pick which would target Vitality.
So, it is more than fair to say that Vitality will be comfortable on at least two of the three maps played, likely even all three.
Leviatan have a lot of firepower, which is not something to ignore. But Team Vitality look like the better, fundamentally more solid team.
