Earlier, I already wrote that the team is a kind of dark horse at the Copenhagen tournament. They got here thanks to the second place in the qualifiers of their region, where they lost XSET in the final. Despite the fact that the club was far from being a favorite, it showed really good results in past matches. After finishing the group stage with a score of 2-1, the players went to the playoffs, where they continued the winning streak, even with their colleagues in the XSET region, after over the Korean DRX tops. The next match in the final of the upper bracket against Paper Rex ended in defeat, and now the representatives of North America have one last chance to advance to the grand final.

In turn, the representatives of Europe became no less unexpected contenders for the grand final. Having finished the qualifications in their region in second place, they received a ticket to Masters Copenhagen, where they performed well in the group stage with a total score of 2-1. The first match in the playoffs ended for the “Phoenixes” with a defeat from the favorites of the European region Fnatic, and as a result, hitting the loser. After that, the team caught a good winstreak of three wins over Guild Esports, Fnatic and DRX, thanks to which they reached the lower bracket final. The reason most likely lies in the roster changes, because earlier SUYGETSU missed the group stage due to visa problems, and after the reunion, the team began to show a polished game.

Match prediction

It is difficult to determine the strongest, especially since the meeting will be held within five maps. Both teams were by no means favorites at the start of the tournament, but they managed to go so far. Only one of them will be the winner, and I think it will be “Phoenixes”
