They have already played in tournaments after the summer break. At the Esports World Cup 2024, the team finished 5-8, losing to Virtus. pro in the quarter-finals. At the BLAST Premier: Autumn Groups 2024, ZywOo and company faced no opposition in Group B, finishing first and qualifying for the BLAST Autumn Finals. Team Vitality fans have no complaints about the team's level of play, but they do ask a straightforward question: where are the titles in 2024?

After the switch to CS2, it seemed that the Bumblebees had not lost any quality on the new game client and continued consolidating their professional dominance. However, Team Vitality's last triumph came in the winter of 2023 at the BLAST World Finals, and in 2024, they either finished second or stopped in the semi-finals. The Bumblebees have an excellent win rate on maps and series, but all their losses have come in crucial matches. Team Vitality unexpectedly lost in the grand final of the ESL Pro League Season 19, with no one expecting MOUZ to triumph. Then there was the IEM Dallas 2024, where ZywOo and the company lost to G2 Esports with a Stewie2K substitution. Although ZywOo is in great shape and fighting for the top 1 HLTV with donk and m0NESY, Spinx is playing on his level and flameZ has even improved compared to last year. Mezii's stats dropped after switching roles, but not drastically, and the difference is being made up by apEX - the captain has generally started to shoot well and can decide the outcome of individual rounds. All five players seem to be in good shape, and there is synergy in the lineup, but something is missing.

The Brazilians were surprised, although it would be more accurate to say they did not disappoint. FURIA Esports beat Imperial Esports 2-1 in the play-in, then missed their first chance against Team Liquid (1:2), but at the second attempt, reached the main stage of the IEM Cologne 2024 by beating Heroic (2:1). At the previous event in Cologne, the Brazilians reached the play-in, and their loss to the Mongols was considered a sensation at the time. This time around, Neymar's favorites had no chance of being knocked out, and the Brazilians adapted to win key rounds.

The purchase of Skullz has paid off! The young player revives his career after a bad spell with Team Liquid. He has been given a good role in FURIA Esports and is getting more opportunities. Skullz's play-in stats are an HLTV rating of 1.07, 70 damage per round, and 0.72 kills. Regarding skill level, Skullz and Chelo are roughly on par at the moment, and it's good that FURIA Esports has a dark horse third option in the attack. KSCERATO holds the team's star, although Yurih leads the statistics in Cologne. Yurih has generally been able to close the gaps between himself and his teammates after the break. In the first half of 2024, it seemed as if the entire FURIA Esports game depended on KSCERATO, but now Yuurih is coming into his own, and when the two of them are at their best, it becomes harder for opponents to serve.

Team Vitality is a favorite in this meeting. However, a few things make us doubt an easy win for the Bumblebees. First, FURIA Esports has played all series in Cologne on three maps. Secondly, Team Vitality is often a bit slow in the first match - they can take things to overtime, sometimes even giving the opponent a map. Thirdly, ZywOo and the company will come out of the break, and the Brazilians will be warmed up. Team Vitality might win 2:0, but it will be a tough match, and FURIA Esports will take every chance.
