Fnatic form
Let's remember how the teams made it to the World Cup. Orange showed themselves well from the beginning of the season, earning 3rd place in the first stage of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: EMEA Stage 1 Challengers, the players went to Masters Reykjavik, where they did not pass the group stage, and flew out in 11-12th place.
The second stage of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: EMEA Stage 2 Challengers, the team finished as a winner, as a result of which they went to Masters Copenhagen, where they managed to break into the top four and finish in 4th place.
During the season, the Oranges scored 525 VCT points, and 2nd place in the overall standings, which ensured the team got into Valorant Champions 2022.
Fnatic roster
- booster
- Mystic
- Derke
- enzo
- Alfajer
- otom (replacement)
Since the beginning of the year, the team has made many changes to the roster. The main of them was the departure of Magnum, first to the bench, and then completely moving to KOI. After that, the organization signed Enzo, a former member of Alliance. Although he previously played for Fnatic as a substitute, but having shown himself to be an excellent performer on Raze, he was awarded a place in the main roster. In addition, 17-year-old Turkish player Alfajer, a former member of Surreal Esports and part-time champion of VRL 2022 Turkey, also joined the team. Before the World Cup, the organization signed SPYGEA as a streamer and slk as an assistant coach.

Form 100 Thieves
For representatives of North America, the situation from the beginning of the season is not so rosy. The first stage of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: North America Stage 1 Challengers, ended for the team in 9-10th place, and Masters Reykjavik pass. Stage 2 of the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: North America Stage 2 Challengers went a little better, but still not good enough, 5th-6th place and skipping Masters Copenhagen.
Despite the losses, the team firmly decided to get to the World Championship, and went to the Valorant Champions Tour 2022: North America Last Chance Qualifier. After passing through the lower bracket, the players of 100 Thieves reached the grand final, where they easily closed The Guard (3-0), and received the coveted slot at the World Championship.

The match will be interesting in that the teams play almost on an equal footing, and there is no strong advantage in one of the sides. Even though on paper Fnatic is the favorite in this match, I will assume 100 Thieves to win as I like their playing style better.
Result: 100 Thieves win
