KOI vs Team Liquid will be the second matchup of VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 1's kickoff day. These two are generally considered middle-of-the-pack teams that have good potential to cause chaos and upsets against top teams on a good day. KOI and Team Liquid will have a lot to prove at this event and expectations around them are not the highest at the moment.
Ahead of this important matchup for both rosters, let us take a look at the important players, statistics, and more that can determine the outcome of the series.
KOI vs Team Liquid VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 1: Who will win this match?
Prediction
KOI vs Team Liquid will be a pivotal series in the race for playoffs. Both have much stronger teams in their groups and a victory here would be immensely helpful in pushing for a top 3 spot.
For KOI, this season did not bring a lot of expectations from the fans despite the organization's incredibly popular fanbase thanks to social media icon and co-owner, Ibai Llanos. The team brought in rookies kamo and GRUBINHO along with the return of ShadoW to tier-one Valorant. The team exceeded expectations at the EMEA Kickoff event by finishing in a respectable 6th place considering the lineup.
Team Liquid was a roster many fans were skeptical of and prepared to be let down by. After having a "superteam" the previous year, the new iteration saw the return of former Fnatic duo Enzo and Mistic along with the addition of rookie Keiko. Team Liquid failed to make noise during the Kickoff event and a distinct lack of consistent fragging potential and smart map plays led to the roster's downfall.
Considering both lineups on paper and the head-to-head record, Team Liquid is favored but not by a large margin. KOI is still a legitimate threat and can easily win against Liquid if players such as kamo and GRUBINHO get activated early into the series. Team Liquid will have to rely on Keiko's critical entry frags along with Enzo and Mistic stepping up in the fragging department.
