This Valorant match will be the second Upper Bracket QF match. It will be played right after the Giants and FUT match and the winner of this will go on to face NAVI.
Team Liquid has looked in stellar form in the last few games. In fact, they even played Reyna and Chamber just because they knew they had already qualified for playoffs. This match will be a different story, however, since the winner of this one will go on to face NAVI in the UB Semi-Finals. This match will start right after the FUT and GIANTS game.
Team Vitality, on the other hand, has struggled with consistency a lot. They barely qualified for the playoffs. Their league record is 4-5. The teams below them in the points table went into the LCQ. Let us discuss this match-up and the momentum of the two teams.

Can Team Vitality Beat Team Liquid in the Valorant EMEA Play-Offs?
Team Liquid has been consistent in every match they have played ever since they lost out to Team Secret in VCT LOCK IN. They are not overconfident and have played their team comps to perfection. There are a few rounds where things go haywire but they have maintained their composure. Their match record towards the end of the league after the KOI match was 6-3.
Team Vitality has a good line-up and their comps have been suited to their players. The problem is with their execution and conversion. They win out rounds but cannot convert them into wins. Out of their four-match wins, they have won 210 rounds and lost 223. This shows that they can win the rounds but cannot get map wins for the same.
Predictions
Based on the momentum itself we would say that Team Liquid has a higher chance of winning this showdown between these two teams. However, counting Team Vitality out would be an unwise decision. It will be a banger of a match and we expect Team Liquid to win. Although, the game is sure to go map three and a 2-1 result is possible from either side.
Although, Team Liquid has a higher chance to be on the winning side of that result.
Head-to-Head
These two teams have faced each other twice. Once in the league itself where Vitality beat Team Liquid 2-1. And the other match was, coincidentally, during the UB QF of the 2021 EMEA Challengers league. Team Liquid won that match. So both teams are tied with a record of 1-1. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top here.
