Astralis — Team Analysis

Astralis previously beat Fnatic 2:0 at Stake Ranked Episode 4. The Danish squad also picked up wins over HOTU and Sashi, but lost to MIBR in a Bo3 series. The team has experience playing at a high level, but the updated roster still has to build its chemistry.

Fnatic — Team Analysis

Fnatic also won against HOTU and Sashi, but their previous meeting with Astralis ended in a defeat on both maps.

  • Confidence level: medium.
