⭐ Editor's Pick
Given the current form and stats, we’re expecting a tightly contested series where every round could prove decisive. FURIA appear slightly more composed in high-pressure situations, and their ability to turn things around after dropping a map is a major asset in this format. FUT will certainly put up a fight and are likely to take at least one map thanks to their solid preparation. Our main pick: over 2.5 maps.
