Team Vitality has guaranteed themselves the ESL Pro League Season 20 playoffs. No one doubted it from the start, now the only question is - where will the team start their journey to the grand finals? The Bumblebees recently won at IEM Cologne 2024 and are looking to continue their successful winning streak.

At the tournament, Team Vitality played two matches against ATOX and FURIA Esports. The encounters were so easy that the Bumblebees hardly even had time to play. ZywOo is fighting with donk for an intermediate lead in the individual ranking of the tournament, apEX in the top 10. The captain is starting to shoot only better with age, and now his presence in the top doesn't seem to be something strange. There's mezii and Spinx nearby, and so far Team Vitality's worst player, flameZ, has a solid 1.13 HLTV rating. In terms of team stats, the Bumblebees lead in many areas: they are the best in majority realisation (82%), top in minority realisation (38%), excellent in open duels (60%), grenades (30 damage per round), and almost flawless with pistols (75%).

Team Vitality is the most stable team on the professional CS2 scene. For the last few years, the Bumblebees have been at the top of HLTV, reaching the top 4 of major events. ZywOo is fighting for the next top-1 title in 2024, with top performers for each role in the lineup, and the mechanism is fine-tuned. The Bumblebees lose only to top opponents, and that's not every day. For them, the group stages are a small preparation before the playoffs.

Team Liquid made a reshuffle in the summer - instead of cadiaN and skullz the team got ultimate and jks. The new squad isn't as stellar in names, but they perform better. The team has already qualified for the autumn BLAST finals, was close to the playoffs at IEM Cologne 2024, will go to IEM Rio 2024 in October, and in November will compete at the American RMR for a major. On aggregate, this is already more interesting than teaming up with cadiaN. What has changed dramatically in the camp of ‘liquid’?

Firstly, there is a young and quite strong sniper. Ultimate can't boast of stable AWP shooting yet, but he often finishes maps with positive HLTV rating and high kill-to-death ratio. He hits default shots, not bad in critical situations. Ultimate doesn't get intimidated in top matches, and that's also a good quality for a sniper. Considering Team Liquid has historically had problems with snipers, the organisation is lucky now. YEKINDAR has been transformed since Twistzz's move to the captain's role, with Marek gradually returning as a top shooter. And Twistzz himself hasn't slumped statistically in any way.

Team Liquid started to play better, and the results also went up. The team beat Natus Vincere, Virtus.pro, almost beat FaZe - these are all representatives of the top-10 HLTV. Now Liquid are not ready to win trophies, but they have a very big potential in the future.
