Vitality vs Eternal Fire Prediction 24 January 2025

📢Who will win the upcoming match in the 1st season of BLAST Bounty? In the quarterfinals of the tournament, teams Vitality and Eternal Fire will face off. Surprisingly, the last two head-to-head meetings ended with a victory for the Turkish team. Will ZywOo and company be able to recover from previous defeats? We'll try to determine that in the prediction below.

Vitality

📝Vitality demonstrated a high level of play throughout last year and achieved championship status at IEM Cologne. Despite quite good results, team captain apEX expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance, which could have been much more successful if not for internal problems and disagreements. For this reason, Spinx left the organization in the off-season, and an equally talented player, ropz, replaced him. At the start of the current tournament, the European team has already managed to defeat Metizport and Virtus.pro without losing a single map.

❗️Note that Vitality wins the 1st map in 9 consecutive matches.

Eternal Fire

📝Eternal Fire achieved significant success in the previous year and quickly broke into the ranks of the world's strongest teams. However, the team did have unsuccessful periods, one of which occurred at the end of the previous season. After reaching the finals of the ESL Pro League, they performed poorly in all subsequent tournaments. Their performance at PW Shanghai Major was particularly disappointing. At this major event, the Turks only managed to beat team Aurora (13:8), ultimately finishing in 12th-14th place.

Editorial Prediction

📊Although Eternal Fire managed to win the last two head-to-head meetings, we still have little faith in their success in this game. After changes in their lineup, the "bees" have refreshed their gameplay and are likely seriously aiming for high results in tournaments. Bookmakers offer decent odds on Vitality's victory, so a bet on an exact score of 2:0 is not worth the risk, although such an outcome is quite possible.
