The French organization heads into the Esports World Cup 2025 in excellent shape. Over the last three months, Vitality have played 42 maps and won 33 of them, showcasing impressive consistency. In the past month, they competed at IEM Cologne 2025 and BLAST Bounty Season 2, finishing 3-4th at both events. Both campaigns ended with playoff losses, notably to The MongolZ. However, in their last five matches, Vitality secured three victories \u2014 against Liquid, Legacy, and NRG \u2014 while only losing to MOUZ and The MongolZ.<\/p>\n
Liquid<\/strong><\/p>\n Liquid, on the other hand, are going through a crisis. Over the past three months, they\u2019ve played 36 maps and won only 14, underlining their struggles. Their latest results paint a similar picture: 13-16th place at IEM Cologne 2025, 5-8th at RES Showdown 2: BLAST Premier Rising, and another 5-8th at BLAST Bounty Season 2. In their last five matches, Liquid managed wins against FURIA and ESTATIC but fell to Vitality, VP.Prodigy, and FaZe. This highlights a lack of stability and problems against top-tier opponents.<\/p>\n In a bo3 format, each team bans one map, then picks one, followed by another round of bans, with the remaining map becoming the decider.<\/p>\n In the past six months, Vitality and Liquid have faced each other three times \u2014 and Vitality have won all three series. At ESL Pro League Season 21, the French side swept 2-0, repeated the scoreline at IEM Melbourne 2025, and most recently defeated Liquid 2-0 at BLAST Bounty Season 2. These results underline Vitality\u2019s clear advantage in head-to-head encounters.<\/p>\n Considering current form, map pool tendencies, and recent head-to-head results, Vitality are clear favorites<\/strong>. They display consistency at top events, have strong map choices, and hold a psychological edge over Liquid thanks to repeated dominant victories. Liquid, meanwhile, are in poor shape, and even their stronger maps look fragile against Vitality\u2019s discipline.<\/p>\n The most likely outcome is a 2-0 victory for Vitality<\/strong>, though Liquid might put up a fight on Inferno \u2014 but the chances of turning the series around are slim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the start of the Esports World Cup 2025, fans will immediately witness a thrilling showdown \u2014 Vitality versus Liquid.
