Vitality continue to look like one of the strongest teams in Rio. Their path includes victories over RED Canids (2\u20130) and G2 (2\u20131), followed by this dominant quarter-final showing. The team remains in top form and is building momentum at the perfect time.<\/p>\n

NAVI, on the other hand, had a more turbulent run. They secured wins against HOTU (2\u20130) and Aurora (2\u20131) but also suffered a key loss to FURIA (1\u20132). Despite reaching the playoffs, their inconsistency once again proved costly against a top-tier opponent.<\/p>\n\n

Match recap: ZywOo leads a one-sided series<\/h3>\n

The series opened on Mirage, NAVI\u2019s pick, but it quickly became clear that Vitality were in full control. Their CT side shut down every attempt from NAVI to build momentum, leading to a confident 13\u20134 win.<\/p>\n

Dust2 followed a similar script. Vitality maintained the tempo from the start, winning key opening duels and dominating mid-round situations. NAVI struggled to adapt, and the map ended 13\u20136, sealing a clean 2\u20130 sweep.<\/p>\n
