Team Undying vs Fnatic: Raven won’t help the team

The group stage of The International 10 has come to an end. Teams from the CIS managed to please their fans and get into the top draw, albeit not without problems. Otherwise, the group stage offered few surprises, with the Chinese teams dominating and South America weaker than the rest.

Team Undying and Fnatic open the lower bracket of the tournament. We will soon know which team will be stronger and which will leave the tournament on October 12.

Team Undying failed to make it to the top of the playoffs at The International 10. The team finished only fifth in the group and only one point behind the coveted top four. The American squad looked good in the first round of the tournament. The same T1s who were one place higher suffered one more defeat. In the group stage, Team Undying looked much more confident than their current opponents. The boys consistently defeated weaker teams and took the maps from the group leaders. There were, of course, isolated defeats, but even in those, the team did not look too bad, perhaps except for the first map with Evil Geniuses.

Fnatic only managed to finish eighth in the group stage of The International 10 and only made it to the bottom of the table. The team looked unconvincing in the group stage and even lost to SG, who had already left the tournament. The last victory over Team Secret was also unimpressive. The Secret already guaranteed themselves a place in the top group, and this game was not a game of principle for them. Yes, and on the first map, Team Secret blatantly tried strategies. Fnatic did not show anything interesting in the group stage. The team looked sluggish and, in the upcoming match, looks like an outsider.

Team Undying were much more liked in the group stage. Fnatic were too weak, and even the latest victory over Team Secret did not change this opinion. Bookmakers are offering odds of 1.70 for Team Undying to win, which looks like a good option. Of the last six maps won, Team Undying have only once won in less than 40 minutes of game time. So as the second bet, we can take the duration of the map over 37.5 for 1.70.
