This is one of those BO3s where the overall level looks pretty close on paper, but momentum and map pool depth should decide it.
XI Esport have been the slightly more structured team recently. They don’t rely purely on aim — their setups are usually disciplined, and when they get control of the economy, they’re good at keeping it. That matters a lot in tier-2 / tier-3 CS2 where games can swing quickly.
Vendetta Gaming are a bit more volatile. They can have strong halves and put up big T-side rounds when individuals are hitting shots, but across a full BO3 they’ve shown some inconsistency. They sometimes struggle to reset after losing streaks, which can snowball into lost maps.
How This Match Likely Plays Out
In a BO3 between teams like this, veto becomes key.
I don’t see this being a clean stomp either way. It feels competitive, but XI look a bit more reliable overall.
Final Call XI Esport 2–1.
