?Team Vitality last met with Team Secret in October, when the Bees won 8-6, marking their first head-to-head victory following a streak of four losses and a draw. But despite their poor head-to-head record, Vitality are expected to defeat Team Secret, whose only notable achievement of 2021 was keeping their spot in the European League with a runner-up finish in the relegation battle.
Vitality had a terrible start to the 2021 season and could only manage a seventh-place finish in the first stage of the European League. Still, things improved in October when Vitality placed third in European League 2021 Stage 3 and won the 6 French League Season 3. Besides that, Vitality performed reasonably well at the Six Sweden Major 2021, where they narrowly missed the playoffs.
Team Vitality should win, and there’s a solid chance they can do it without dropping a map.

?Cowana Gaming lead MNM Gaming 4-1-1 in the head-to-head; however, they lost their last clash in August, when MNM eliminated cowana from UK & Ireland Nationals Summer 2021. MNM placed second at the tournament and went on to win European Challenger League 2021 in November.
In December, MNM Gaming also won European League 2021 Relegation with a clean 3-1 victory against HellRaisers. On the other hand, Cowana might have fewer gold medals from the recent months, and they could only manage a sixth-place finish at European League Season 2021 at the start of the month.
Still, unlike MNM, cowana were at least active this year, and they were regularly competing in tournaments that featured some of Europe’s top R6S esports teams. MNM Gaming should be able to put up a fight, but at $1.68, we have to take the favourites.
