Gen.G esports vs Fnatic

The sheer fact that Fnatic is considered as an underdog against Gen.G -- despite beating them with relative ease mere days prior -- simply boggles the mind. It's a call that makes no sense whatsoever, and while they're definitely not guaranteed to win the rematch as well, the odds are certainly on their side. If they managed to solve the Gen.G puzzle on their first try, then doubting them would be quite a foolish move.

They're by no means a perfect team, and we've all seen them drop the ball on many different occasions throughout the past, but the aforementioned point still stands. Gen.G might adapt, they might go over their mistakes and devise a special, team-specific game plan in an attempt to take Fnatic down, but they're not known as a hugely flexible bunch, nor are they the kind of team that'll pull out insane, off-the-wall pocket picks. They're a "by the book" kind of contender, whereas Fnatic has that extra bit of something -- call it creativity, flexibility, or sheer lunacy, but it works when it matters most. That's why they've found so much success internationally over the years, despite the odds.

Now, depending on how the day unfolds, this game might end up being a key decider when it comes to who'll move onto the Knockout stage and who'll pack their bags and spectate from the sidelines. Needless to say, the pressure is mounting, and it'll all go down to the wire. The fact that Fnatic already has a win over Gen.G should give them ample confidence.

In the end, we're siding with the boys in black and orange on this one as it's the only choice that actually makes sense. Again, they're not guaranteed to win, but the odds are too alluring to pass up. In any case, expect a mind-blowing game that's bound to deliver!
