Misfits
As of today, Misfits (7-9) is one of the teams fighting for 5-6 places. Schalke 04 and SK Gaming have one more win than Misfits, but Misfits have 2 games left to play, while the aforementioned teams have only 1 game left. Misfits' remaining opponents are Fnatic and Vitality. If Fnatic is really tough and Misfits are the underdogs in this match, Vitality is the last resort to make it to the playoffs.
SK Gaming will face Europe's strongest team, G2, in the last round, so the chances of a loss are very high, while a win against Vitality would put Misfits on a par with SK Gaming in terms of wins/losses. Leading up to this match, the importance of this match for Misfits is huge, as the team's season hangs on this match. Meanwhile, for Vitality, the match is not a big deal, so there is no doubt that Misfits will be more motivated to show what they can do and secure the victory.
Overall, Misfits seem to be in very good shape lately, with 4 wins in the last 5 rounds, including victories against Schalke 04 and Mad Lions. The Misfits team seems to have settled down and played well as the regular season is coming to an end, and the potential of this team is really high, with a very talented group of players. It would be a pity if the Misfits' march were to come to an unexpected end with a loss in this match.
Vitality
Vitality (4-13) are currently last in the standings. The season has been very choppy for this team, with a poor start, but with the addition of Crownshot, a well-known ADC player, things have started to look up for the team. At one point, the team had 2 consecutive wins against SK Gaming and Excel, as well as one of the biggest surprises of the regular season, when Vitality defeated one of the favourites to win the tournament, Fnatic.
Although Vitality had a chance to challenge for a playoff spot before entering the last week of the regular season, an unexpected defeat against Astral, who were in last place at the time, wiped out those chances. In the second game of the last week, Vitality faced Schalke 04 and were completely humiliated - the team had no chance and lost hopelessly. Everything was wrong, from the draft to the choice of battles and their execution. The team just doesn't seem motivated to play anymore and wants to finish the season faster.
Forecast
Strangely enough, the bookmakers consider the Misfits to be only a slight favourite, which logically should be a much clearer favourite than it is now. Misfits not only show great form and good chemistry in the last few rounds, but they also have something to fight for, unlike Vitality, who will play their last match of the season. A loss in this match would put an end to Misfits' chances to extend their season in the playoffs, so the team will definitely try to take advantage of the last chance and play a good match to extend their season. The odds currently offered are 1.6 x 2.2 respectively, while realistically we should get no more than 1.3 for Misfits.
