About FUT Esports do not want to say anything, because the team obviously got lucky in the last match, otherwise how such a bounce in the game is hard to explain. So here I would lean on a smashing victory Fnatic team.

FUT Esports vs Fnatic
It is interesting that at the time the teams were still playing on Icebox, although it does not change the matter. Obviously, FUT Esports will be tough to win, and the main The International riga is about what score the Turks will lose by.
Still, I doubt that Fnatic will give up their position in the play-offs, especially as the divisions speak in favour of the squad. Therefore, in this case, I'd recommend betting on Fnatic's 2-0 win.
