Team Liquid vs Gentle Mates VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1: Who will win this matchup?

Prediction

Team Liquid vs Gentle Mates will be a blazing matchup since both teams have the slightest opportunity to qualify for the playoffs if they win against each other on a big margin.

Team Liquid started their EMEA Stage 1 campaign with a massive win against KOI with a 2-0 scoreline. Hence, Liquid fans got excited and started feeling hopeful about this new diverse roster. However, the hope didn’t last long since TL lost back-to-back matches against FUT and NAVI. In between this chaos, nAts was the only consistent player among them, who showed prowess through the tournament.

Having said that, it’s high time for Jamppi and Mistic to show their true colors. Enzo has done quite a decent job so far in managing the European team. However, they seem to lack the perfect co-ordination as a team which will come over time considering they’re fairly new and yet to garner sufficient experience as a squad.

On the other hand, after showing an extraordinary performance during VCT Ascension 2023, Gentle Mates is struggling hard to show their dominance in the EMEA scene. Meanwhile, the French organization had an exceptional start to their journey since they won against the current leaders of group A BBL Esports. However, failed to win consecutively against two European giants, Karmine Corp and Fnatic.

Gentle Mates’ nataNk and logaN have shown exceptional performances so far. Despite lacking enough experience, the team has managed to defeat big powerhouse teams like BBL and Team Vitality. Hence, ahead of this important Team Liquid vs Gentle Mates matchup, they’ll be full of confidence and will definitely capitalize on Team Liquid’s mistakes.

Despite both teams often struggling to see the face of a win, the scales are slightly tipped toward Team Liquid’s favor. Considering the roster of Team Liquid, they have enough individual experience to win against a fairly new team like Gentle Mates. Additionally, the roster of M8 is slightly new and lacks proper experience. However, they’ll try to capitalize on Team Liquid’s mistakes and give them a hard time in Team Liquid vs Gentle Mates matchup.
