Match prediction
Orange looks like the favorites of the match for me. Their performance for the season is not perfect, but 4th place at the second Masters Copenhagen is a good result overall. XSET play well in principle, but at major tournaments they often feel out of place. On the one hand, this is a meeting of the top 2 teams of their regions, but on the other hand, the Oranges look like a tier 1 team, and their opponents like a tier 2 team.
Outcome: Fnatic win
