FUT Esports vs Gentle Mates Match Prediction and Analysis - VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 1

The second week of the group stage of VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 1 continues. The opening match will be played between FUT Esports and Gentle Mates, the outcome of which we will tell you below.

Current form of the teams

FUT Esports

A mid-table team from their region that finished 4th at the VCT 2025: EMEA Kickoff. Although the squad didn't make it to Masters Bangkok 2025 because of this, but 4th place is better than most of the teams in the region. In their last five matches, FUT Esports have three wins over KOI, Team Liquid, and Fnatic. But at the same time losing to the same Team Liquid and Team Vitality.

FUT Esports Match Results
Team 1 Score Team 2
FUT Esports 2 - 0 KOI
FUT Esports 1 - 2 Team Liquid
FUT Esports 2 - 0 Fnatic
FUT Esports 0 - 2 Team Vitality
FUT Esports 2 - 0 Team Liquid

Despite the fact that FUT Esports did not make it to the Masters, but the result is very good, and compared to the future opponent the team looks like a favorite.

Gentle Mates

In turn, Gentle Mates compared to the future opponents look pretty weak. The team took 7th-8th place at VCT 2025: EMEA Kickoff and failed to qualify for Masters. In the last five matches Gentle Mates won three victories over Team Liquid, KOI and Apeks. The other two matches ended in defeats against Team Heretics and Fnatic.

Gentle Mates 1 - 2 Team Heretics
Gentle Mates 2 - 0 Apeks

Gentle Mates made some major roster changes at the beginning of the season, but even so the team looks weak compared to most teams in the region.

Team Mapple

Expected Bans:

  • FUT Esports will probably remove Pearl.
  • Gentle Mates will remove Split.

  • FUT Esports may take Icebox
  • Gentle Mates will probably pick Fracture.

Personal meetings between the teams

In the last six months the teams have not had any head-to-head meetings.

Prediction for the match

We are expecting a meeting between an openly weak team and opponents who are slightly stronger. Therefore, it is logical to favor FUT Esports who are likely to be the winners.

Predicted result: FUT Esports win 2:1

VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 1 takes place from March 26 to May 18 in LAN-format at the Riot Games Arena in Berlin. Twelve VCT EMEA partner teams will compete for 3 invitations to Masters Toronto, as well as EMEA Points, which are required to qualify for a future World Championship.
