Fnatic vs GIANTX - Which team will win this match at VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 1?
Predictions
Fnatic has been struggling to perform in the initial part of the 2024 season. Despite being phenomenal last year, the team was unable to qualify for the VCT Masters Madrid and has already lost a match at the EMEA 2024 Stage 1. The squad needs to bounce back quickly in order to have a chance at making it to Shanghai.
GIANTX has also not been able to deliver positive results so far this year. As of now, all of the team's matches in the 2024 season have ended in losses. Its roster changes did bring some new flare, but the players need to show much more to justify the moves.
The Fnatic vs GIANTX matchup heavily favors the former as the team is filled with some of the best talent in the world. GIANTX will need to bring something special in order to win.
Head-to-head
Fnatic and GIANTX have faced each other several times before. Their most recent encounter was during the EMEA League in 2023, where Fnatic won the Bo3 series 2-0.
