CURRENT FORM<\/strong><\/h2>\nVitality \u2014 star roster and a major class advantage
\nVitality have recently shown mixed results against the strongest opponents, losing to Falcons, 9z, and Natus Vincere. At the same time, the team defeated BetBoom, MOUZ, and FUT, confirming its ability to consistently close series against lower-level teams.<\/p>\n
The main figure remains ZywOo, who has a 1.35 rating over the last three months. He is significantly ahead of all Liquid players in kills, average damage, and overall impact on rounds. ropz and flameZ will be no less important, providing stability in rifle duels, while apEX controls the tempo and structure of the game.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260604_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Cologne_07931.jpg\")

\nLiquid approach the match after a series of inconsistent performances. The team defeated HEROIC and BIG, but lost to FlyQuest, MIBR, BetBoom, and The MongolZ. The roster still lacks stability across a full series, especially after a poor start to a map.<\/p>\n
The best individual form is being shown by malbsMd, who has a 1.10 rating over the last three months. He remains the main source of aggression and entry frags. NAF and EliGE will also need to play an important role, but to beat Vitality, Liquid will need a high level from the entire roster at the same time.<\/p>\n
MAP POOL & VETO<\/strong><\/h2>\nStatistics over the last 3 months (Vitality | Liquid):<\/p>\n
\n- Cache: \u2014 | \u2014<\/li>\n
- Dust2: 60% | 0%<\/li>\n
- Mirage: 86% | 33%<\/li>\n
- Inferno: 75% | 60%<\/li>\n
- Nuke: 83% | 60%<\/li>\n
- Ancient: \u2014 | \u2014<\/li>\n
- Anubis: 20% | \u2014<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Expected veto:<\/p>\n
\n- Liquid will almost certainly ban Mirage \u2014 Vitality\u2019s strongest map with an 86% win rate. The North American roster has only 33% on it, so leaving Mirage in the series would be too risky.<\/li>\n
- Vitality are highly likely to remove Ancient or Anubis. Both maps are almost absent from the teams\u2019 current sample, although Anubis remains a weak point for the European roster with a 20% win rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Likely picks:<\/p>\n
\n- Vitality: Nuke \u2014 the team has an 83% win rate and significantly outclasses Liquid in structure, rotations, and converting advantages on this map.<\/li>\n
- Liquid: Inferno \u2014 the most logical choice for the North American roster. Liquid have a 60% win rate and can try to impose a slower and more positional game on the opponent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Possible decider map: Dust2 may remain as the third map, but this option also looks much more comfortable for Vitality. The European roster has a 60% win rate, while Liquid have lost all four maps in the current sample.<\/p>\n
KEY DUELS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n- ZywOo vs malbsMd \u2014 the main individual duel of the series and the battle for the biggest impact in opening duels.<\/li>\n
- ropz vs NAF \u2014 a matchup between two experienced players in clutch episodes and late-round situations.<\/li>\n
- flameZ vs EliGE \u2014 the battle for entry frags, space, and control of key areas of the map.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
