Match Prediction: Entropiq - Gambit Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)
Funspark ULTI 2021 FinalsEntropiq and Gambit will compete for the right to play in the Funspark ULTI 2021 Finals upper bracket final. Both teams got off to a pretty good start in the championship, while Gambit managed to leak the Complexity card, which, as we know, has already left the tournament. At the same time, we do not forget that we have another CIS derby in front of us, in which any sensation can occur.

The ninth team in the world rankings got off to a terrible start to the new season, losing in the first round of the Elisa Invitational Winter 2021 Main Qualifier. However, in the quarterfinals of Funspark ULTI 2021 Finals, the Russian team looked strong, having managed to outplay ECSTATIC. Yes, Entropiq's Vertigo is lame right now. But even without that, the team can boast of a strong game on Ancient and Mirage.
