Predictions
Fnatic have once again secured an appearance at the League of Legends World Championship, as they are guaranteed to at least be in the Worlds Qualifying Series. The organization has only missed Worlds once, which was in 2016.
The current team features the right balance of rookies and veterans, making them a formidable opponent regionally. However, top laner Oscarinin will temporarily be out of action due to a hand injury requiring surgery.
In his stead, former Fnatic top laner Wunder will return to the stage after missing the Spring and Summer Split. It will be interesting to see how the European legend performs against Team BDS' top laner, Adam, a player he has quite the history against.
Team BDS have come out of the gates swinging in the LEC 2023 Season Finals. They have had their ups and downs over the course of the year. However, the team seemed to have hit a new stride against SK Gaming with clean teamfighting and solid macro gameplay.
With Team BDS having multiple carry players, it will be quite interesting to see the level of performance that they can showcase against an opposition of a high caliber in Fnatic.
Fnatic are the expected favorites to win this best-of-five series despite Wunder playing for them. The team generally outclasses their opponents in terms of talent and laning power.
Team BDS, however, have the advantage of a rusty Wunder coming back to pro play. The Danish top laner's performance will prove to be the deciding factor in this matchup.
