Predictions

Both FunPlus Phoenix and G2 Esports are currently in excellent form. Hence, it is quite unpredictable who will emerge as the champion tonight. However, FunPlus Phoenix has dominated most part of the tournament, having lost just one match in the entire event.

The team is sure to try to finish it in the same style as well and is the favorite in tonight's clash against G2 Esports. The combination of experience and firepower has proven instrumental for the side in the EMEA STage-1 Challengers.

Meanwhile, G2 Esports' comeback after its loss against Team Liquid at the start of the Playoffs is truly remarkable. The team has shown urgency and determination over the last few games and has taken down some title-contenders like M3 Champions (former Gambit Esports), Team Liquid, and most recently, Fnatic. The German side is looking forward to pulling off another miracle tonight and is ready to take home the throne.
