Current form

Fnatic are ranked 23rd in the world rankings. The team hasn't achieved any significant heights on the tier-1 scene for a long time, but they approached the qualifiers in seemingly good shape. The European mix had previously unexpectedly lost to 3DMAX (1:2), but celebrated success in the confrontation with OG with a score of 2:0. The duel with the "bulls" did not cause any difficulties for "fnatic", since they gave up seven rounds to their opponent on Inferno, and on their pick, Anubis, they allowed the opponent to take only one round.

Tip and bets

TipFnatic wins

2.05

We wouldn't give Cloud9 a clear preference in the upcoming match, since the team is still far from its optimal form, while Fnatic have gained great momentum. On many maps, the European mix looks more powerful than its counterpart and has a higher win rate. Previously, the "clouds" often lost with a score of 0:2 to opponents of approximately the same level, so we suggest betting on the success of the "fnatics".

We're betting on Fnatic to win at 2.05
