Came to the second match right through. Fnatic and OG will play in the lower bracket of the playoffs of the Stockholm Major.
Both teams will step into the arena today, filled with the public for the first time in many years. Some for the first time in many years, and some at all, it is worth noting.
We are in for a confrontation between conventional dota and the author's view of the moba from Valve. Different approaches, different styles, different levels of performance.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger and move further along the grid, and who will have to say goodbye to Stockholm and stop on the way to the championship.
Form OG
OG will be the favorite in this match. The chance of their success is estimated by a coefficient in the region of 1.4.
OG are listed as the favorite of the match for several reasons at once: top tag, performance in the group stage, playing in the first round of the playoffs. In my understanding, OG has succeeded on all of these points.
Roster OG
Although OG are playing in this tournament with a substitute, at the stage of the LAN stage of the playoffs, she can play into the hands of the team. Ceb has experience working with young players and will definitely be able to find the right words for his young wards' game failures.
OG latest match results

- 2-0 victory over BOOM
The first match in the lower bracket of the playoffs turned out to be a real triumph for OG. They outplayed BOOM, who looked like a potential tournament winner after their performance at Gamers Galaxy in Dubai.
Heroes OG
Most Picked Heroes: Troll Warlord (4 matches, 50% win rate), Shadow Shaman (4 matches, 25% win rate), Enchantress (3 matches, 100% win rate).
Most successful OG heroes in patch 7.31: Enchantress (3 matches, 100% win rate), Keeper of the Light (2 matches, 100% win rate), Ember Spirit (1 match, 100% win rate).
Fnatic form
Fnatic will play catch-up in this match. The coefficient for the victory of this team is 2.9.
Fnatic deservedly are in the status of catching up. They had a mediocre group stage, and in the first round of the playoffs they outplayed their compatriots from T1, that is, a convenient opponent, and even then not without problems.
Fnatic roster
- Raven
- Armel
- Jabz
- DJ
- Jaunuel
The advantage of Fnatic compared to OG, I would say, is the experience of the performers. Fnatic players have been in the professional scene for a long time and know how to play in the big lans.
Fnatic latest match results
- Draw with Team Liquid 1-1
- Draw with Thunder Awaken 1-1
- Technical victory over Mind Games with a score of 1-0
- Lost to Gladiators 0-2
- 2-1 victory over T1
As I said, the victory over T1 does not seem to be something outstanding for me. Teams from the same region, and therefore it was a suitable match in both directions.
Heroes Fnatic
Most Picked Fnatic Heroes in 7.31: Monkey King (5 matches, 60% win rate), Tusk (3 matches, 66% win rate), Templar Assassin (3 matches, 66% win rate).
Most successful Fnatic heroes in 7.31: Death Prophet (2 matches, 100% win rate), Gyrocopter (2 matches, 100% win rate), Dragon Knight (2 matches, 100% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
The teams have not played each other this season. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Match outcome
In this fight, I'm sure OG will win. Of course, mishaps can happen, but I don't think Fnatic will claim more than one map after the game they showed against the weak T1.
Result: OG win.
