Cloud9 vs Fnatic Prediction: If the teams are in the same shape, Fnatic has almost no chance

Prediction for the match between Cloud9 and Fnatic which will take place on October 16. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Cloud9 managed to win BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown 2023 before the CS:GO servers shut down and reminded us that they have a superstar roster capable of smashing any opponent on individual skill alone. There were rumors in the community that Boombl4 would come to the rescue, but now HObbit is playing the role of captain, and it seems to be working.

Winning this event was extremely important because the net was as unpleasant as possible. Movistar Riders played in the quarterfinals of ESL Pro League Season 18, G2 Esports is a stable member of the top-5 HLTV, and BIG was hot during the mini-tournament. And in all the meetings, they looked better. A pleasant boost before switching to CS2.

The main problem of Cloud9 is instability from one game to another. The team can both win against a top opponent and lose top-30 HLTV. We can only hope that this trend will not continue in CS2.

Fnatic hasn't shown itself well at the recent tournaments, usually getting eliminated after a few games in the group. The exception was participation in ESL Pro League Season 18, but they had to withstand the attack of unknown 5yclone and Apeks. In the playoffs, Monte immediately caught the team and failed two maps.

Fnatic plays well on Ancient (66%) and Overpass (66%), while the rest of the maps failed to break the 50% mark. Rookie afro stands out quite well statistically, having a 1.1 HLTV rating over the past three months. Of interest: Fnatic still has KRIMZ, who dominated with the organization and, in 2023, is occasionally a good shooter. Fnatic is more team-oriented, and it's rare for players here to prove themselves as tier-1 individuals. The tough games lack someone to take full responsibility.

Fnatic has played against Cloud9 often recently but with the new version only twice - at Gamers8 in Riyadh and IEM Cologne. In the latter meeting, Cloud9 was stronger without much resistance from the European team. But Cloud9 has problems in Cologne, and Fnatic took advantage of it. But statistics and ratings say that we should not expect a victory from Fnatic.

Cloud9 can lose to themselves and ruin any prediction. Nevertheless, if the teams approach in the same form, Fnatic has almost no chance. So we can only hope that HObbit and company will come to the CS2 server in a cheerful mood and not make any gross mistakes.
