All of the Valorant Leagues are nearing their playoff stages. We saw Pacific playoffs begin today while the Americas are still on edge in terms of the participants. However, in EMEA the race is between two teams, BBL and Team Vitality. Now, the win condition for BBL is winning their next match against FUT.

This match is purely for entertainment as KOI is not going to make playoffs despite a win and Team Liquid has already qualified. You can check out the points table to see what teams have already made it. However, we are sure to get a banger of a match as KOI still keeps fighting despite their inconsistent performance.

Can KOI Defeat Team Liquid in Valorant EMEA League?

KOI on paper should be a really good team as they have elements of former strong teams in the form of World Champions Sheydos and Starxo. However, their form has been really inconsistent throughout the tournament and they have failed to convert maps into wins.

Team Liquid on the other hand was struggling during the beginning to get their star players activated but as the league went on they looked comfortable. This will be a fun match to watch as there are lots of big names in the match. In addition, nAts and Redgar are set to face their former teammate Sheydos. Let us see who wins this bout between former teammates.

Predictions

We think Team Liquid is going to win this match 2-1 due to their recent form and teamwork. While KOI have strong individual players they lack teamwork. They win most of the rounds by individual hero players or rely on playing the map rather than using a piece of utility.

That is why we believe Team Liquid will win this match. Although, KOI winning is not out of the cards. However, it might be less likely than fans are hoping for it to be.
