Team Vitality vs NAVI Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 EMEA League

The Team Vitality vs NAVI matchup is these teams’ second-ever encounter in Valorant history

NAVI are the favorites of this matchup as they sit on the second spot of EMEA standings, and coming from a 4-match win streak will also add to their confidence. On the other hand, things have been shaky for Vitality, especially after their recent loss and poor performance from their Duelist. Here are our predictions for this exciting matchup this week.

Team Vitality

While the start of VCT EMEA was good for this squad, Vitality failed to keep up the pace in their recent games. The team is coming from a 0-2 loss against BBL Esports, with Twisten having a terrible series as he went 6-18 on the last map. It’s clear that Vitality’s Duelist player needs to put up a good fight against NAVI to avoid another 0-2 Bo3.

NAVI

Zyppan and his teammates are looking strong as they come into this match from a 4-match winning streak. Their most recent game was against Karmine Corp ended with a 2-0 win for NAVI, and we saw cNed, Zyppan and Shao continue to show us a consistent performance. Moreover, Vitality will have to prepare counter strategies against ANGE1’s plan as he walks on the path of being one of the best IGLs of EMEA.
