Head-to-Head
In their recent head-to-head encounters, Imperial has dominated with a 75% win rate against Legacy. They have consistently outperformed Legacy in their last four meetings, winning three of them with a 2-0 scoreline. Legacy managed to secure a single victory back in January 2024.

Prediction
Given the current form and historical performance, Imperial is favored to win with a predicted score of 2:1 against Legacy. Imperial’s superior map pool and past victories against Legacy suggest they are well-positioned to take this match.
