Total Over 2.5

KOI and Team Vitality will play in the second round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League group stage. Both teams surprised at the start of the competition, winning despite initially being underdogs.

There were questions about KOI, especially on the second map, where the team narrowly defeated NAVI. Team Vitality, on the other hand, powerfully took on Team Liquid, once again showing their ability to play at high speed.

So here, given the strong start of both teams, I would take a closer look at the three maps.

KOI Form

The European team managed to visit the recent VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, but there already in the first round without any struggle lost to NRG and went home.

As for the start of the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League, KOI managed to surprise with a victory over Natus Vincere and the Ascent game was really solid and structured.

KOI's latest results:

A 0-2 defeat to NRG.
A 2-0 win over Natus Vincere.

KOI top cards:

Lotus - 100% wins.
Ascent - 100% wins.

It's worth noting that so far the European squad have given up the Split and Pearl cards.

Team Vitality's form

The third team of the European ranking finished third at the G-Loot VALORANT Clash - Grand Finals and Red Bull Home Ground #3 in the off-season, which is already good.

The European squad also managed to try their hand at the recent VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo where they beat Global Esports but still fell short against Leviatán Esports.

As for the start at VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League, Team Vitality confidently outplayed Team Liquid, which adds to the team's confidence points.

Team Vitality's latest results:

A 2-0 win over Team Heretics.
A 0-2 loss to 100 Thieves.
2-1 victory over Global Esports.
Defeat to Leviatán Esports 0-2.
Defeated Team Liquid 2-1.

KOI - Team Vitality preview

First of all, Team Vitality has an advantage in terms of chemistry and map selection, as the team knows exactly which map they won't play. KOI, on the other hand, got off to an overly steep start, literally outplaying their opponent.

Nevertheless, we still need to look at the distance, although Team Vitality is making a better impression so far. So in this case, discounting KOI's rise, I'd recommend betting on Total on Cards 2.5 more.
