Team Vitality (1.85) vs Heroic (1.85)
And it's due to be a real nail-biter of a final, with two of the strongest teams on the CS:GO scene about to go head-to-head. Team Vitality have earned their spot at the Group A grand final through a fantastic run through the tournament - They have not only won every game they've played so far, but they've also failed to concede even a single map. Their winning streak kicked off on January 19, when the team secured a 2-0 victory over Astralis - with the newly-returned Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz failing to help turn the tide for his team. Team Vitality went on to repeat that performance against Evil Geniuses, sending them down to the lower bracket final through a 2-0 victory. Team Vitality ranked in 1st-3rd place at last year's Spring Groups, and they're looking well-placed to repeat that success this year.
They'll have to beat Heroic to pull that off though, and the Fall Finals Champions aren't going to take a finals defeat lying down. The team started off the tournament on a much less promising note - earning a ticket to the lower bracket semifinals through a shock 2-1 upset loss to Evil Geniuses. Still, they've been making up for that troubled start ever since - having knocked Astralis into the Play-In stage through a 2-1 victory on January 21, before taking revenge in another 2-1 win against Evil Geniuses on January 24. Despite a difficult start, Heroic have move than earned their spot in today's grand final - and should prove a worthy rival for Team Vitality.
As such, the odds here are neck and neck, at 1.85 for both teams.
This is shaping up to be a fantastic grand final, and you're not going to want to miss out. Therefore, make sure you've signed up for a Luckbox account and claimed your free 100% bonus, and we'll see you at the Group A grand final!
