One of the first matches of EML 2025 - Stage 1 will be the clash between Team Falcons and Virtus Pro in a best-of-one series. We have analyzed the current form of both teams and made our prediction for this match. You can follow the match at this link.

Current Team Form

Team Falcons is the clear favorite in this matchup. The team showed good form during RE:L0:AD 2025, where they placed 5th–8th, losing to the tournament’s bronze medalists. Their competitive experience in the new season gives them an advantage over their upcoming opponents.

Virtus Pro, on the other hand, has not participated in any official matches since the end of the Six Invitational 2025, which took place four months ago. This may affect their form and readiness for the tournament.

Match Prediction

Team Falcons has a significant advantage in this matchup — strong form gained through participation in RE:L0:AD 2025, and a potentially better and stronger roster than Virtus Pro, which is why we predict their victory in this best-of-one series.

Prediction: Team Falcons to win 1:0 over Virtus Pro
