Vitality and GamerLegion will meet in the Elimination Stage match of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. This is the first match for both teams in this stage, which is held in Bo1 format. Vitality comes into the match as a favorite due to its stable form, but GamerLegion has its own strengths that can be decisive.

Current Form of Teams

Vitality is showing a stable form. The team won their last two matches, defeating FaZe and BetBoom. High level of communication and team play remain their main strengths. Their players, such as ZywOo, are at the peak of their form, which gives Vitality additional confidence.

GamerLegion shows mixed results in previous matches. Victories over Passion UA and paiN confirm their readiness to fight strong opponents, but the loss to The Mongolz raises questions about the team's stability. Their game is built on strong individual moments, but teamwork can be a weakness.

Team Map Pool

Vitality has strong results on Nuke (92% winrate) and Dust II (68%). These maps often become decisive in their matches, as the team demonstrates excellent defense and offense. Weak maps are Inferno (57%) and Anubis (25%), which are likely to be banned. They also always ban Ancient.

GamerLegion is distinguished by a confident play on Ancient (61%) and Vertigo (62%) and Mirage (63%), where they actively impose the fight on their opponents. Their results on Nuke (44%) are inferior to Vitality, and on Inferno and Dust II the team demonstrates instability, which can cause problems.

The match is likely to take place on Mirage map, which is Vitality's strong point and GamerLegion's strong point.

Match Prediction.

Vitality looks more prepared for this match, given their strong form and wider mapped matchup. The match is expected to take place on Nuke, where Vitality has a significant advantage. GamerLegion will probably try to exploit individual moments, but this may not be enough.

Prediction: Vitality will win.

This is the first match for both teams in the Elimination Stage of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. The Bo1 format adds intrigue, as one card will decide the outcome. Over the past six months, the teams have already met twice: Vitality won both times. This historical factor can add confidence to the favorites and pressure to GamerLegion.
