BetBoom Team

0

VS

Team Yandex

2

This playoff matchup features BetBoom Team facing Team Yandex in what looks like one of the closest series in the bracket. Both teams have been in strong form throughout the tournament and managed to reach the playoff stage of the $1M event in Bucharest. BetBoom come into the match with strong momentum after a convincing 2-0 victory against HEROIC and several other clean series earlier in the event. Their aggressive early-game style and strong laning phases have been a key factor in their success so far. Team Yandex, however, have also impressed during the tournament. They secured their playoff spot with solid series wins and have shown very strong execution in teamfights and late-game decision making. Stylistically, the matchup is interesting because BetBoom rely more on fast tempo and lane dominance, while Yandex tend to perform best in structured mid-game fights and macro control.

Heroic

0

VS

Team Liquid

2

This series features Team Liquid, one of the tournament favorites, against HEROIC, a team that has been showing solid performances throughout the event but still sits slightly below the top tier. Liquid have looked very strong during the tournament, maintaining a high win rate and consistent results against several opponents. Their roster built around Nisha, miCKe, and Ace provides a balanced combination of laning dominance and late-game execution. The team has already demonstrated strong form with convincing series wins earlier in the event, including a clean 2-0 victory over Vici Gaming. Heroic, meanwhile, have been competitive but inconsistent. They are capable of strong performances — for example their 2-0 win over Team Yandex in the group stage — but they have also struggled against the very top teams in the tournament. Stylistically, this matchup favors Liquid’s structured approach and superior late-game execution.

FUT Esports

VS

Natus Vincere

2

The semifinal matchup between Natus Vincere and FUT Esports is expected to be one of the most competitive series of the playoffs. NaVi come into the match with strong momentum after eliminating The MongolZ 2-0, showing solid form across multiple maps. FUT, however, arrive as one of the tournament’s biggest surprises. The young roster just pulled off a major upset against MOUZ to reach the semifinal, highlighting their ability to compete against top-tier opponents. This matchup also has an interesting storyline: several FUT players previously played under the NAVI Junior system, which adds an extra layer of motivation and familiarity between the teams.
