Current form of the teams

Team Liquid enters this matchup riding a wave of momentum, boasting a winstreak of three matches. Their recent performances include a decisive 3-0 victory over GIANTX in the grand finals of the VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 2, where they secured the first-place finish and qualified for the VALORANT Champions 2025. Over the past month, Team Liquid has achieved a remarkable win rate of 75%, showcasing their strong form. Their earnings over the last six months amount to $125,000, placing them 10th in the earnings ranking. In their last five matches, they have secured victories against GIANTX, BBL Esports, and Fnatic, with a single loss to Karmine Corp. Their overall win rate stands at 55%, improving to 63% over the recent year and 65% over the past six months.

On the other hand, DRX has faced some challenges recently. They have struggled in their last two matches, suffering losses to Rex Regum Qeon and TALON in the VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 2 playoffs. Despite this, they have shown resilience by securing wins against Global Esports and Rex Regum Qeon earlier in the tournament. DRX’s overall win rate is 61%, with a slight dip to 62% over the last year and 64% in the past six months. Their earnings over the last six months are $145,000, ranking them 6th in comparison to other teams.

Map pool

Looking at the teams’ map pools, it is clear that each side has its strengths and weaknesses. Based on their recent matches, it is likely that we won’t see Sunset or Haven in this series. Team Liquid will most likely choose Lotus, one of their stable maps with a 70% win rate, compared to DRX’s 45% across 11 matches. The Korean roster is in a tough position, as their best maps, Split and Icebox, are not currently in the pool, and Haven will be banned. Their options are either Abyss, which they played decently before it was removed from the active pool, or Ascent, a map that Team Liquid also performs well on. Considering this data, it becomes clear that Team Liquid hold strong chances of taking the victory.

Head-to-head

The teams have not faced each other in the past six months, and the organizations have never met in this discipline throughout their history.

Mathc Prediction

Based on the available data and statistics, Team Liquid are the favorites in this matchup with a predicted 2:0 score. Their current form and impressive winning streak, combined with a high win rate over the past month, give them a significant advantage over DRX. Considering these factors and the teams’ map pools, it is most likely that Team Liquid will come out as the winners of this matchup.
