Valorant EMEA has entertained and memed the Valorant community these past few months. From the antics of Karmine Corp to the hilarious reactions of the casters, we have seen it all. Teams like FNATIC and NAVI are guaranteed to make play-offs while teams like KOI and KC will struggle in the LCQ.
However, KOI has a couple of redemption matches against tough teams to see if they can hang with the best. This week they are set to face Team Heretics, spear-headed by the veteran Mixwell, as they look to try for playoffs. Let us break this match down.
Can Team Heretics Make Playoffs? Or will KOI drag Them Down to LCQ in Valorant EMEA?
KOI has failed to show up in the Valorant EMEA league. On paper, their roster is one of the best. However, they have failed to capitalize on the opportunities in the game to reap victories. They have only won one match in this league and have a worse record than Karmine Corp.
However, they are set to take on Team Heretics who have also struggled with their momentum this season. TH has a 2-5 Win/Loss record in this tournament. The stakes are clear for both teams; KOI is fighting to keep their reputations from burning down while Team Heretics are fighting to stand a chance to make playoffs.

Predictions
These are the two rosters that will be duking it out on stage during this match-up. We predict Team Heretics are going to win this match 2-1 since KOI can also pull off miraculous individual plays when they want to. However, it will be difficult for them to beat Team Heretics given their momentum.
Points Table
In terms of the points table, we see that KOI is in the last spot while Team Heretics is just two stories above in the 8th spot. It will be a difficult task to qualify for playoffs from here.
Team Heretics have won 1 of their last 5 matches while KOI has lost all of them. There desperately needs to be some changes in both teams if they would like to have a bright future in Valorant.
