On February 2, 2025, at 21:15 EET, a match between Team Heretics and Team Vitality will take place as part of the group stage of the LEC Winter 2025. The match will be played in a best-of-1 format, and we have prepared a prediction for the outcome of this encounter.

Current Team Form

Team Heretics

Team Heretics are in the group with a score of 2-4 and are fighting for survival. Their instability is noticeable after a loss to underdogs Rogue, which could indicate a serious crisis within the team.

In the last three matches, Heretics have secured only one victory – against BDS, while suffering two defeats against Karmine Corp and GIANTX. This points to their inability to consistently win against even mid-level teams, which is a worrying sign ahead of a showdown with a strong opponent.

Team Vitality

Vitality approach the match as favorites. They have a balance of 3-3 and good chances of advancing to the next stage.

Recent results show their ability to confidently defeat weaker opponents – Rogue and SK Gaming, although they suffered a loss against G2. An additional advantage for Vitality is Hylissang – one of the most experienced players in his position, who could be a key factor in this match.

Match Prediction

Given the current form of the teams, Team Vitality appears to be the clear favorites. They exhibit stable play, whereas Team Heretics has serious issues, notably losing even to underdogs.

Hylissang could play a crucial role, capable of creating an advantage on the bottom lane and providing the team with comfortable conditions for victory. If Vitality capitalize on their macro play advantage, they should secure a confident win.

Prediction: Team Vitality wins

LEC Winter 2025 takes place in a regular season and playoff format with 10 teams participating. All teams will compete in two stages to determine the strongest participant. The tournament winner will earn a spot in First Stand 2025 and €40,000. You can follow all the tournament changes here.
