Royal Never Give Up vs Fnatic

Fnatic was really struggling during the group stages. They sat at 0-3 coming into the final day of Group B and even lost their first match that day against Longzhu Gaming. With an heroic effort they won their final 2 games against Immortal and GIGABYTE Marines, and pushed it to a tiebreak and won their next 2 games as well.

Although I don't want to take anything away from the feat brought forward by the European side, I still have to say that the opposition that day was rather abysmal (appart from Longzhu Gaming).

Now Fnatic is up against Royal Never Give Up (RNGU) who went 5-1 in Group C who was a bit tougher than Group B in my opinion, especially with Samsung Galaxy in it. They lost really badly to G2 somewhat surprisingly, but was able to bounce back with a 2 wins to end their final day at least.

We are tempted to try a bet with -2.5 handicap on RNGU, but after seeing their loss against G2 we can see them making another blunder here as well. But that should not happen over a best of 5 and think Uzi will carry RNGU to the semi finals in this years Worlds!
