Vitality Team Overview
Team Vitality enter the match as the clear favorites. Their journey to the semifinals has been a showcase of dominance: commanding victories over FlyQuest (2-0) and Team Liquid (2-0) have demonstrated that the French squad has no apparent weaknesses. In the upper bracket final, they faced Falcons, where ZywOo and his team staged a comeback on Mirage from a 12:8 deficit, clinching the map in overtime. The second map was even more straightforward-m0NESY and his team struggled to find their rhythm, resulting in a loss on Inferno (13:8). The impressive performance of each player throughout the tournament makes it difficult to single out any one contributor to their success. apEX's team is nearly unbeatable at this point, and The MongolZ are in for a tough challenge in this matchup.

Editor's Prediction
The open stage is where the European team feels much more at ease. The MongolZ have done well to reach the semifinals, but it's still too early for them to defeat ZywOo and company. Considering the current form of the teams and Vitality's ongoing winning streak, we believe this matchup will result in another 2-0 victory for Vitality.
