On April 20, 2025, at 18:00 EET, Team Heretics will face off against Team Vitality as part of the regular season of the LEC Spring 2025. The match will take place in a Bo3 format on the LAN stage. Here is our analysis of the upcoming clash.

Current Form of the Teams

Team Heretics

Team Heretics is the favorite in this matchup, despite having less-than-perfect results. Currently, the team holds a 2:3 record, teetering on the edge of advancing to the next tournament stage. The team is fiercely competing for a playoff spot, making every game crucial. However, it's worth noting that in matches against top-tier teams, Heretics fell short without much of a fight—this could indicate game instability and a lack of experience in critical moments.

Team Vitality

Vitality holds a slightly weaker position in the group, with a 1:2 record. Like Heretics, the team is among the mid-tier teams and theoretically could fight for advancement. However, during the group stage, Vitality unexpectedly lost to the group's underdog, Rouge, casting doubt on their psychological resilience and ability to perform under pressure.

Head-to-Head

In the past three months, the teams have met only once—two months ago during the LEC Winter 2025. In that bo1 series, Team Vitality secured a confident victory. Although it was just one map, the result shows that Vitality knows how to find and exploit Heretics' weaknesses effectively. However, the bo3 format could shift the balance of power, especially if Heretics can adapt well during the series.

Match Prediction

The match promises to be intense: both teams are close to the playoff cutoff and desperately need a win. Despite Vitality's recent victory in the head-to-head, Heretics appear somewhat more stable at this stage. They have more experience in extended series and show a fighting spirit.

Team Vitality could put up a fight, especially on the first map, but if Heretics avoid critical drafting mistakes and work on previously identified weaknesses, their chances of winning seem more convincing.

Prediction: Team Heretics to win 2:1
