The team was revamped in the summer with a new captain, Dexter, who had previously played with Mouz. Frenchman Afro also joined the squad. These transfers can be considered equal, as they lost the brightest stars but hard-working players. Most importantly, legendary player KRIMZ remains in the Fnatic lineup.
With a new roster, the team participated in Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2023 and Gamers8 2023, but the results were far from perfect. Therefore, the European team is looking to prove themselves in the playoffs at the EPL. In the group stage, Fnatic only lost to FaZe (1-2), and they defeated Imperial Esports (2-1), 5yclone (2-0), and Apeks (2-1). Will the Europeans continue to play like this in the playoffs?
Monte
The Ukrainian team clung to the last playoff spot in Group B with a win over the Brazilians from MIBR. Monte lost to the Brazilians earlier in the day, but the Ukrainians took revenge. The team has a lot of credibility. After their success at the Paris Major, many started to believe in this team, but they have weakened a lot, having lost such a player as BOROS.
Group B finished their matches more than two weeks ago, so Monte did not sit still and participated in online tournaments: Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2, RES Eastern European Masters: Fall 2023, and CCT Online Finals #3. But they were unsuccessful, losing games to extremely controversial teams. The Ukrainian team doesn't look ready to go far in the playoffs this EPL season.
Expert Betting Tips
The teams are close regarding skill level, but the Europeans look more promising and reliable than the Ukrainians.
