Physics says the black headgear better protects against cuts and facial injuries. But it doesn't significantly reduce concussion risk—those are mainly caused by the brain rotating inside the skull, not facial impact. More padding ≠ better brain protection. 🥊

34 kills. 292 ACS. 192 ADR. +12 K/D.
LewN put up an unbelievable performance on the decider, but even that wasn't enough to carry KC over the finish line. Some games just can't be won alone #VCTEMEA #VALORANT

Fnatic enter this match as clear favorites with a dominant 6-1 H2H record. Still, Karmine Corp have enough firepower to punish any mistakes and make this a close series. If Fnatic play their disciplined style, they should come out on top. Prediction: Fnatic 2-1. #VCTEMEA

[Ivan (IvZel96) @IvZel96]

Week 2 could define Fnatic's season.
FNC arguably have the toughest schedule of any team: 🆚 Karmine Corp 🆚 Team Liquid
Two title contenders, two must-watch series. A 2-0 would put Fnatic in a great spot for playoffs, while a 1-1 could make the race much tougher. #VCTEMEA

Three Team Liquid players are already in the top 10 by VLR Rating 2.0.
🇷🇺 trexx — 1.14
🇵🇱 kamo — 1.09
🇷🇺 nAts — 1.07
A very promising sign for Liquid. When multiple players are consistently delivering impact, the team becomes much less reliant on individual hero performances.

Best play of NaVi vs Vitality?
They had the spike. Omen had other plans. 💀

Sometimes you don't need a plan. You just need Sato – @sato_pequeno. 😂 #VCTAmericas #valorant #leviatan

[Ivan (IvZel96) @IvZel96]

LEV have the better roster, but FURIA look far more structured than expected. Their slower pace and disciplined mid-rounds could make this series much closer than the odds suggest.
Prediction: LEV 2-1.

Fnatic enter Stage 2 as clear favorites. GX are coming in with a roster change, and facing a team like Fnatic is probably the toughest way to debut it.

If Fnatic play to their level and avoid unforced mistakes, this should be a straightforward series.
Bet: Fn 2-0 GX

FUT yesterday:
❌ Winning rounds
❌ Looking confident
❌ Making a comeback
✅ Pulling out the knife 🔪

#VALORANT #VCT #VCTEMEA

[Ivan (IvZel96) @IvZel96]

My prediction for the opener: FUT 2-1 NaVi.
FUT look slightly more consistent, but if NaVi take map one, this could easily go the distance. Expect a close series with plenty of clutch rounds.

What's your prediction? 👀

[Ivan (IvZel96) @IvZel96]

VCT EMEA Stage 1 Final
Prediction: Vitality 3-1 Heretics
Derke MVP Big advantage in BO5 map pool and mid-rounds
Heretics can still turn the series into chaos if they start hot
Most likely close map: Haven
#vctemea #vitality #Heretics #valorant

[Ivan (IvZel96) @IvZel96]

Heretics have the edge in structure and clutch play, but FUT’s aggression can completely take over a BO3 if Xeus starts hot early.
Biggest key will be the veto and who controls the tempo.
Prediction: Heretics 2-1 FUT
Upset potential: FUT 2-0 if momentum snowballs fast. #vctemea

[Ivan (IvZel96) @IvZel96]

Team Vitality look more structured coming into this BO3, especially with Cronicle controlling mid-rounds and keeping the tempo stable.

FUT Esports still have enough firepower to make this dangerous if Xeus finds early impact.

Prediction: Vitality 2-1 #vctemea #valorant #vct

[Ivan (IvZel96) @IvZel96]

Team Liquid look a bit more consistent overall, especially with nAts controlling the tempo.

Gentle Mates can still make this very close if MARTEEN shows up early.

Prediction: Liquid 2-1 #vctemea #vct

[Ivan (IvZel96) @IvZel96]

Team Liquid look more disciplined and consistent coming into VCT EMEA Playoffs, while Vitality rely heavily on momentum and individual firepower
If Derke heats up, Vitality can absolutely take a map,but overall I trust Liquid more in a playoff BO3.
Prediction: Liquid 2-1 Vitality
