This will be the second time we see Team Heretics face off against Eternal Fire. These teams previously faced each other in the first round of the VCT EMEA Stage 1 playoff’s upper bracket. In this match, Eternal Fire defeated Team Heretics 2-1, a score that we had predicted in our preview.
Our prediction was because Eternal Fire have shown their mental strength by winning the most number of rounds in overtime. That proved true once again, as they completed a 2-1 reverse sweep.
Following that game, Eternal Fire faced off against FUT Esports and lost 2-1. On the other hand, following their loss, Team Heretics was pushed into the lower bracket. Here, they first defeated BBL Esports in a comfortable 2-0 victory.
In their second game, they faced off against Fnatic. A fixture that went down to the wire with Enes “RieNs” Ecirli clutching it out for Team Heretics and winning that game 2-1. Now, Team Heretics have a chance to get their revenge while qualifying for Masters London.
In the previous game between the two, Team Heretics’ Mert “Wo0t” Alkan was on a roll in Fracture with an ACS of 305. This was the highest by any player, making many believe that the game would be a one-sided affair. Even now, due to his performance in the tournament, Team Heretics are the favorites to win this match according to VALORANT betting odds.
One player that the community is forgetting is Baran “Izzy” Yılmaz, switching to Neon and dominating the series. During the second and third maps, he secured a total of 33 kills, helping Eternal Fire complete the comeback.
Another player who stole the show was Soner “audaz” Ekiz. On agents like Astra and Omen, he was able to slow down Team Heretics and get a total of 59 kills.
If we look at momentum, then Team Heretics are the ones to watch out for. Having defeated the favorites, Fnatic, they have proven that they can take down giants.
Our prediction for this game is that Team Heretics will win 2-0. This will be a clean sweep revenge by Team Heretics, helping them qualify for VALORANT Masters London.
