Fnatic heads into their Friday match against Giantx on a two-game losing streak, struggling to find their footing in the current meta. While Fnatic boasts a strong overall win rate (78%), their recent performance (0% win rate in the last 30 days) paints a concerning picture.
Meanwhile, Giantx, despite a lower overall win rate (58%), comes into the match with a recent win streak (0 wins in the last 30 days). This momentum, coupled with Fnatic's slump, could be a deciding factor. Fnatic's strength lies in their strategic prowess and veteran experience. However, their recent inability to adapt to the meta might be exploited by Giantx's aggressive playstyle, a known weakness for Fnatic. Due to Giantx's recent form and Fnatic's recent struggles I suggest a close 2-1 victory for Giantx. The first map might go to Fnatic on the back of their strategic planning, but Giantx's momentum (Redgaur) could swing the next two maps in their favor. This is especially true if they can exploit derke's, alfa's, chronicle's slump and take advantage of Elmapuddy's weak coaching.
