After NRG swept Fnatic in the upper bracket final, Fnatic had to face off against DRX for another shot at the grand final. The odds were on Fnatic’s side then, and team came through to set up a rematch. The looming question is whether Fnatic can this time stop NRG from repeating what happened in the upper bracket finals.
Betting tip: Despite how the last match went, there’s a decent chance that the grand final could go to a fifth game, making it a good idea to bet on the total maps being over 4.5 for a potentially high return.
My NRG vs Fnatic pick: Total maps to be over 4.5 at 2.57 odds at GG.BET.
NRG surprised many by defeating Fnatic in the upper bracket final without losing a single game. The team’s players are all well-rounded, and they all make their presence known even when they aren’t getting frags. By contrast, much of Fnatic’s performance seemingly depends on Boaster’s mental state. A good example of this is the match against NRG, where Boaster seemed to have given up after the first Ascent map, and the rest of the team couldn’t pick up the slack.
Fnatic’s crashies, kayak, and Chronicle seem to be in excellent shape and should be reliable enough in the grand final. Much of the match will likely depend on whether Alfajer and Boaster can use their utility as sentinel and controller, respectively, to influence the match in their favor.
When it comes to pistol rounds, it’ll likely be a good idea to side with Fnatic winning as the team has showcased that it’s more reliable with sidearms. NRG has proven its skill against Fnatic, and Fnatic’s performance against DRX was good enough to suggest the grand final match could go the distance. This means that betting on there being a fifth game could make for a sizable return. But despite Fnatic’s skill and talent, the team’s reliance on Boaster may lead to its downfall, ultimately leading to NRG winning the tournament.

Fnatic has showcased fortitude since losing against NRG. But its reliance on Boaster may hold the team back. Despite Boaster’s habit of dancing to rile up the enemy and boost motivation for his teammates, the pressure of this best-of-five grand final may get to the rookie IGL. If it does, NRG will likely win even if the series goes the distance.
Our NRG vs Fnatic prediction: NRG to win 3-2 @ 1.79 odds at GG.BET.
