The match between Vitality and Metizport at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier promises to be an interesting fight for the next stage. It will be a duel between an experienced European team and an ambitious team trying to gain a foothold among the best, and it will also be the debut of ropz in the Vitality team after his transfer. The Bo3 format guarantees that no mistake will go unnoticed, and each map will become a field for a fierce battle.

Current Team Form

Vitality demonstrates stability at major tournaments, finishing 2024 with a top 8 finish at the Perfect World Shanghai Major. Their victories over MIBR and FURIA emphasize their strong tactical preparation, although the loss to FaZe in the playoffs revealed some weaknesses. The team replaced one player only a few days ago, which may affect their synergy.

Metizport, on the other hand, is still in the development stage. Their recent results, including a second place finish at the Wildz Invitational, indicate the team's growth. However, the replacement of two players on the eve of qualification can be both an advantage and a risk due to the lack of chemistry of the new team.

Team Map Pool

Vitality has an advantage on maps such as Nuke (92% winrate) and Dust II (75%), showing a confident game in both offense and defense. Their weaknesses are revealed on Anubis (36%) and Inferno (64%), which they will probably avoid.

Metizport, on the other hand, is characterized by a strong play on Ancient (67%) and Inferno (63%). At the same time, their effectiveness on Nuke (55%) and Anubis (36%) is inferior to their opponent.

Expected Mappool: Mirage, Nuke, Dust II.

Match Prediction

Considering the statistics and current form, Vitality looks like the stronger favorites. Their experience at the top level and advantage in tactical training allow us to predict a 2-1 victory. However, Metizport have a chance to create a surprise if they can implement their best strategies on their best maps.

Expected result: 2:1 in favor of Vitality .
