On February 22, 2025, at 21:00 EET, a match between Team BDS and Team Vitality will take place as part of the playoffs for LEC Winter 2025. The match will be in bo3 format, and we have prepared a prediction for this confrontation.

Current Form of the Teams

Team BDS

BDS are showing inconsistent results, alternating between wins and losses. In their last match, the team lost to KOI with a score of 0:2, revealing weaknesses in macro play. Previously, BDS lost to Fnatic and GIANTX, but managed to secure victories against SK Gaming and Karmine Corp. A crucial factor remains the confident play of Ice on the bot lane, although the team struggles with capitalizing on advantages, especially in the late game.

Team Vitality

Vitality appear more confident. The team has lost twice to Karmine Corp, but they defeated GIANTX, Team Heretics and Rogue. Their main strengths are the bot lane with Carzzy and Hylissang, along with aggressive jungle play by Lyncas. Despite the losses to Karmine Corp, Vitality have shown good adaptation to opponents and an ability to build an advantage in the early game.

Match Prediction

Despite their inconsistent performances, Vitality look like a more balanced team, especially due to their strong duo on the bottom lane. If Ice and Parus can hold parity and nuc can secure a comfortable pick, BDS will have a chance to challenge. However, the team makes too many macro errors, which Vitality can exploit.

PREDICTION: Team Vitality to win 2:1

LEC Winter 2025 is held in a regular season and playoff format with 10 teams participating. All teams will compete in two stages to determine the strongest participant.
