Fnatic – Monte

CS:GO - ESL Pro League Playoffs

In this matchup, Fnatic are the clear favorites in my opinion and should secure a victory against the Ukrainian team.

Firstly, I want to highlight the progress of the European team. I have a strong belief in their abilities. The consistency and stability of players like Krimz and the exceptional talent of Afro make me very confident in their potential. In their group, they faced some challenges against Faze, a well-coordinated and formidable team. However, they managed to take a map from them (although they lost 1:2), and they demonstrated their superiority over other teams like the Chinese squad and Apeks. I have full faith in this lineup, which is exceptionally strong and, with proper preparation, can compete with and defeat even tier 1 teams.

As for Montenegro, I lost interest in this team after Boros' departure. They tend to play a less exciting style of CS and are susceptible to tilting. They barely advanced from their group, having to go through the last chance stage. I don't believe they have what it takes to put up a serious fight against Fnatic.

In my opinion, there won't be any surprises in this match, and Montenegro doesn't deserve to progress further with their current performance.
