Team Liquid vs. Vitality: who will be the strongest at ESL Pro League Season 16?

The grand final of ESL Pro League Season 16 will begin very soon, in which Team Liquid and Vitality will face each other. This time we will see a full-fledged BO5 battle, in which things may well reach the fifth map. In any case, the match promises to be interesting, as well as we will try to look forward to the main match before the start of the RMR cycle.

During this championship, Team Liquid suffered two defeats in the group stage from FURIA and Eternal Fire. However, then the team managed to beat Cloud9 and reach the playoffs. Here the North American team finally got into shape, outplaying not only fnatic and MOUZ, but again Cloud9.

In turn, the Vitality team did not suffer a single defeat at all, scoring 15 points in group A. At the same time, after a month of rest, the Danish-French team broke into the playoffs perfectly, having obtained dry victories over Outsiders and G2 Esports.

As part of the current season, the teams have played only one meeting - at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, Vitality won with a score of 2:0. However, do not forget that since then the teams have made changes in their lineups.

You can predict in advance that the teams will abandon Nuke and Ancient. At the same time, all maps, with only rare exceptions, can be considered the weakest for a particular team. In general, an interesting meeting awaits us, in which there is no obvious favorite.
