Match Prediction: Fnatic - Team Liquid | VALORANT

Total Over 2.5

Fnatic and Liquid will vie for the right to advance to the VCT 2021 Lower Bracket Final: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík. Consider that we have reached the point of no return, because after this match there will be one less European team. And I guess what the intensity of passion will be on the server.

Fnatic Form

The second team in the European rankings had a bad start at VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík, losing to the Sentinels in the quarterfinals. However, then the team played two cool matches, closing not only X10 Esports, but also Version1. It's worth stopping at this point, as Fnatic's newcomer, Derke, sometimes makes an unrealistic difference on the map, giving the team space.

Recent Fnatic results:

Defeat against Liquid with a score of 2: 3.
Victory over KRÜ Esports with a score of 2: 0.
Lost to the Sentinels with a score of 0: 2.
Victory over X10 Esports with a score of 2: 0.
The victory over Version1 with a score of 2: 0.

Best Fnatic cards:

Bind - 83% wins.
Haven - 79% wins.
Ascent - 73% wins.
Split - 68% wins.
Icebox - 68% wins.

I'm not sure I'm ready to say for sure which map the team will ban.

Liquid form

The first European ranked team had a terrible start in the championship, immediately losing to Version1. However, already in the lower bracket of VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík, the team showed that it is holding up decently against the background of other representatives of the stage. Another thing is that sometimes Liquid has mistakes, which Fnatic can definitely play on.

Recent Liquid results:

Victory over Oxygen Esports with a score of 2: 0.
Victory over Fnatic with a score of 3: 2.
Lost to Version1 with a score of 1: 2.
Victory over KRÜ Esports with a score of 2: 0.
Victory over Team Vikings with a score of 2: 0.

Best Liquid cards:

Ascent - 80% wins.
Icebox - 75% wins.
Haven - 72% wins.
Split - 68% wins.
Bind - 62% wins.

In this case, the team should abandon Bind - the opponent's best card.

Fnatic - Liquid meeting statistics

During the current season, the teams held three meetings:

Liquid wins the Red Bull Home Ground 2: 1.
Fnatic 3: 1 victory in VCT 2021: Europe Stage 2 Challengers 2.
Liquid wins VCT 2021: Stage 2 EMEA Challengers Playoffs 3: 2.

It is noticeable that in every match there is an unprecedented struggle.

Forecast for the match Fnatic - Liquid

I will say right away that after defeating Version1, Fnatic has a little more chances. However, given the principle of the meeting, I will not dare to look for a winner, because in such cases it often happens that the teams exchange their picks and go to the decisive desider. And let's not forget that over and over again the teams have punched Total, showing equal matches. Therefore, here I propose to bet 2.5 more on Card Total.
