FTW and Endpoint will meet in the quarterfinals of the ESL Challenger League Season 43: Europe. It is unexpected to see the Portuguese here, who are as bad as it can be.
In turn, Endpoint is doing much better, as the team shows a stable and good game. In general, the coefficients are eloquent and give a clear favorite, while you don’t want to argue with them.
Moreover, I have no confidence that FTW will suddenly jump above its head, because in terms of the game the team is still between the TIER-2 and TIER-3 scenes.
Form FTW
The 72nd team in the world ranking completely failed in the CCT Central Europe Series 3, not even making it to the playoffs. At the same time, the Portuguese team failed at ESL Masters Spain Season 12, but managed to win at OMEN WGR Retake Season 5.
As for the start at ESL Challenger League Season 43: Europe, here FTW managed to get a hard-fought victory over AGO. On the other hand, the team seems extremely monotonous, which was noticeable back in EPL S16.

Prediction for the match FTW — Endpoint
I remember the game of the Portuguese at the beginning of autumn, and then there was no interest in watching more. Now nothing specific in the FTW game has changed, and all recent victories have been obtained on snot.
In turn, Endpoint is doing very well, as the team has reached a stable streak. And the guys are much better on the cards.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Endpoint team.
