Everything you need to know about Team Vitality vs Team Heretics at VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1

Prediction

Team Vitality and Team Heretics both came into the 2024 VCT season as middle-order teams. However, the latter has proved itself to be a force to be reckoned with in the region, having taken down NAVI at Kickoff, almost eliminating Paper Rex at Masters Madrid, and crushing Fnatic in the first week of VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1.

Such high praises can't yet be sung about Team Vitality, which remains to date a promising squad that is yet to show results. In their last game against NAVI, only two players managed to finish with a positive K/D. While Valorant is more than just about getting kills, shooting still forms an integral part of the title, and Vitality must up their game as nearly every member of the Heretics squad has pitch-perfect aim.

Today's Team Vitality vs Team Heretics at VCT 2024 EMEA Stage 1 is more likely to go the way of the latter.
