The VCT EMEA League has begun with Week 7 and has made winning an extreme priority for specific teams. The top six teams from the table at the end of the Regular Season will make it to the Playoffs.

The second match was equally matched as Giants Gaming went up against Team Vitality. Eventually, the Giants were able to close out the BO3 series 2-1 by winning on the decider map, Ascent with 13-10.


Fnatic vs Karmine Corp - Who will outperform the other in this match in the VCT EMEA League?


Predictions

Fnatic is the top team in the world right now. They were able to win at VCT LOCK//IN and, since then, have only lost three maps in total without losing a single series. They are currently at the top of the table with seven wins and no losses.

Karmine Corp has been struggling at the VCT EMEA League. They have been making a lot of fundamental errors and are also dealing with a roster change in the middle of the league. They have only won two out of their seven matches so far.

The matchup heavily favors Fnatic. Karmine will need a miracle to win even a map against Fnatic in the series.
