Current Form of the Teams
Team Liquid has shown resilience in past tournaments, securing a 3rd place finish in the VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 1, which qualified them for the VALORANT Masters Toronto 2025. Their recent matches include a narrow victory against BBL Esports and a loss to Team Heretics. Over the last five matches, they have a win rate of 60% for the recent month and 62% over the past half-year, indicating a solid form despite their latest loss to Team Heretics.
On the other hand, FUT Esports is on a one-match win streak, having recently defeated Natus Vincere in the current tournament. Despite a loss to Karmine Corp, FUT Esports has managed to secure a place in the upper bracket of the ongoing qualifier. FUT Esports will need to leverage their recent victory to build momentum against a formidable opponent like Team Liquid.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head history between Team Liquid and FUT Esports is quite competitive. Team Liquid has the upper hand with a 67% win rate against FUT Esports, having won three out of their last five encounters. Their most recent match on April 10, 2025, saw Team Liquid securing a 2-0 victory. FUT Esports, however, managed to claim a victory earlier in the year on January 22, 2025, with a 2-0 scoreline. This history suggests that while Team Liquid has been the more dominant force, FUT Esports has the capability to upset the balance.
Prediction
Considering the recent form and head-to-head statistics, Team Liquid is favored to win this matchup with a predicted score of 2:0. Their consistent performance in recent tournaments and a higher win rate in head-to-head matches give them an edge. FUT Esports will need to bring their A-game and possibly surprise Team Liquid with strategic map picks to have a chance at victory. However, based on current data and recent performances, Team Liquid is likely to come out on top.
Prediction: Team Liquid 2:0 FUT Esports
