Prediction

Last week, both Fnatic and KRU met opponents who were far worse than them, at least on paper. Fnatic delivered a decisive blow to Bilibili, while DRX pulled off a reverse sweep, going down terribly in the first map of the series.

Overall, Fnatic has had a stronger record since they added hiro instead of Leo ahead of Stage 2. They remained on-point, despite losing arguably their most consistent player. With hiro gaining more on-stage experience, it can be predicted that the lineup will only get more and more solid.

DRX with its new roster is relatively, more volatile, having dropped games to the likes of Rex Regum Qeon in VCT Pacfic Stage 2.

All things considered, today's Fnatic vs DRX game should go the way of the Europeans unless one or more members choke tremendously.
