Team Vitality team news and form<\/h2>\n

Vitality have been somewhat of a Kryptonite for Splyce\u2019s stable, mid-game focused approach throughout the regular split, being the team to break their 5-game winning streak and also demolishing them with a bot lane Ziggs earlier on. Their playstyle hasn\u2019t changed much since the start, but they always seem to pull something unexpected out of their pocket and give every opponent a run for their money.<\/p>\n

In the semi finals against Fnatic, the French team got crushed in the early game by Broxah\u2019s terrific counterganking that rendered Gilius and his pressure practically nonexistent. It\u2019s safe to say that without a gold lead, Vitality don\u2019t really know how to decisively play a team fight-focused mid-game and usually rely on their guerrilla tactics to catch an odd 2v2 fight and go for baron from there, or just wait for a serious mistake from the enemy side, as was the case in the 3rd game against Fnatic.<\/p>\n

When they do get baron, though, Vitality become a force to be reckoned with. With their well-organised 1-3-1 formation with Jiizuke and Cabochard in the sidelanes, the Bees tend to tear down multiple towers or inhibitors and get massive gold leads from just one power play. If Gilius makes his ganks less predictable and Vitality get a substantial early lead, the games could end quickly in their favour.<\/p>\n

Splyce team news and form<\/h2>\n

Splyce, on the other side, have been excellent at 5v5 teamfighting for the entire split, or at least up until the semifinals. Against G2, they messed up at the most important points of the game, making their usual mid-game comebacks impossible.<\/p>\n

Kobbe was especially guilty of bad positioning and having little impact in fights, but we have to cut him some slack because G2\u2019s jungler, top and support were picked exactly to tender him useless. Xerxe\u2019s pathing also got figured out very early on by Jankos, and the official #1 jungler in EU this split couldn\u2019t do much to get his lanes rolling. Howewer, Gilius is not very likely to try adapting to Xerxe, being one of the more lane-oriented junglers in the league, and Splyce\u2019s top and mid lane likely won\u2019t have to worry that much.<\/p>\n

Splyce\u2019s mid laner Nisqy has been on fire recently, dashing out serious damage in teamfights, and also going even or better in lane in most games. He and Kobbe should be the main focus of the team, and if Vitality doesn\u2019t get far ahead early, I don\u2019t think their one-carry playstyle can break Splyce\u2019s terrific group play. Odoamne\u2019s thoughtful engages are much better than anything Vitality has to offer in that regard, and if he can force a brawl, Splyce will likely end up as victors.<\/p>\n

Betting prediction & odds<\/h2>\n

Team Vitality:<\/strong> +137
\nSplyce:<\/strong> -188.68<\/p>\n

Splyce, in my opinion, have more win conditions than Vitality, and also have a much more adaptive playstyle that isn\u2019t likely to fall to the same strategy thrice. Although Vitality have looked good in BO1\u2019s against Splyce, I think winning three games will be too much of a challenge for them.<\/p>\n
