Team Liquid vs FUT Esports is the Group Stage match for VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 1. The 11 franchised teams will go through a Group Stage followed by the Playoffs to try and qualify for Masters Shanghai. There are a total of three spots for each region for the next international event.

Predictions

Team Liquid had a huge revamp to their roster coming into 2024. The former Apeks core's addition was meant to push the team in a new direction. During the EMEA Kickoff, this new iteration wasn't able to get many wins and ultimately did not qualify for the event's Playoffs.

On the other hand, FUT Esports also made a couple of changes to their roster. The most notable was the addition of world-class Duelist pro cNed. Unfortunately, they had similar performance issues and did not make it to the Playoffs in the EMEA Kickoff and missed out on VCT Masters Madrid.

This match between Team Liquid and FUT Esports slightly favors the former as the team is filled with players who have produced great results recently. However, FUT Esports is not far behind, and this series will likely be a close one.
