Vitality Team Overview
At the start of this championship, Vitality made an unexpected impression, though not in the best light. The team surprisingly lost to Legacy with a score of 3-13, ending their impressive 30-match winning streak. It seemed like the squad might falter, but in reality, that result didn't shake their confidence. In the third stage, they systematically dismantled Nemiga, 3DMAX, and Virtus.pro, dominating each opponent. Moving into the playoffs, they took down NAVI and MOUZ. Only MOUZ managed to put up a fight against apEX's roster, taking one map (which was Vitality's pick), but they couldn't push further.

The MongolZ Team Overview
The MongolZ have long been recognized as one of the top teams globally, currently sitting at 5th in the HLTV rankings. Their journey in this tournament hasn't been flawless, with losses to FURIA and FaZe highlighting some vulnerabilities. They were on the brink of missing the playoffs before rallying to defeat G2. In a stunning turn of events, they then dismantled FaZe, denying s1mple's squad even a single map, and continued their impressive run by similarly overcoming paiN. It's remarkable to see a team that has bet on its people, choosing stability and consistency over roster changes. This approach has propelled them to the final of the year's premier tournament so far.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
If the Mongols were to clinch the grand final, it would be a truly cinematic story. However, the reality is that they are not serious contenders against Vitality. Only teams like Spirit, MOUZ, or Falcons at their peak are capable of pulling off a miracle and defeating the "Bees" in a BO5. The MongolZ might feel the pressure on stage, as they have never reached the final of such a major tournament before. Even in less significant events, they've shown signs of nerves in front of the crowd. They've already pulled off a sensation, but expecting another miracle might be too much. Therefore, we suggest betting on Vitality to win with a handicap (-1.5) on maps in this matchup.
